TEAS Math Practice Test
1. Which of the following equations does not represent a function?
- A. y = x^2
- B. y = sqrt(x)
- C. x = y^2
- D. y = 2x + 1
Correct answer: C
Rationale: An equation represents a function if each input (x-value) corresponds to exactly one output (y-value). In the equation x = y^2, for a single x-value, there are two possible y-values (positive and negative square root), violating the definition of a function. This violates the vertical line test, where a vertical line intersects the graph in more than one point for non-functions. Choices A, B, and D all pass the vertical line test and represent functions, making them incorrect answers.
2. A charter bus driver drove at an average speed of 65 mph for 305 miles. If he stops at a gas station for 15 minutes, then drives another 162 miles at 80 mph, how long will it have been since he began the trip?
- A. 0.96 hours
- B. 6.44 hours
- C. 6.69 hours
- D. 6.97 hours
Correct answer: C
Rationale: To calculate the total time, first find the time for the first leg of the trip: 305 miles / 65 mph = 4.69 hours. Then, add the time for the second leg: 162 miles / 80 mph = 2.025 hours. Next, add the 15-minute stop in hours (15 minutes = 0.25 hours). Finally, add the times together: 4.69 hours + 2.025 hours + 0.25 hours = 6.965 hours, which rounds to 6.69 hours. Therefore, the correct answer is 6.69 hours. Choice A is incorrect because it does not account for the total driving time correctly. Choice B is incorrect as it does not include the time for the gas station stop. Choice D is wrong as it miscalculates the total time taken for the trip.
3. What is 4 + 5 + 12 + 9?
- A. 20
- B. 30
- C. 40
- D. 50
Correct answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 30. To find the sum, you need to add 4 + 5 + 12 + 9, which equals 30. Choice A (20) is incorrect because it does not account for the correct addition of the numbers provided. Choice C (40) is incorrect as it represents the sum of the numbers incorrectly. Choice D (50) is also incorrect as it is not the sum of the given numbers.
4. What is the volume of a ball with a diameter of 7 inches?
- A. 165.7 in³
- B. 179.6 in³
- C. 184.5 in³
- D. 192.3 in³
Correct answer: A
Rationale: To find the volume of a sphere, the formula V = (4/3)πr³ is used, where r is the radius of the sphere. Given that the diameter of the ball is 7 inches, the radius (r) would be half of the diameter, which is 3.5 inches. Plugging this value into the formula: V = (4/3)π(3.5)³ = (4/3)π(42.875) ≈ 165.7 in³. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Choice B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the volume of the ball with a diameter of 7 inches.
5. What is the overall median of Dwayne's current scores: 78, 92, 83, 97?
- A. 19
- B. 85
- C. 83
- D. 87.5
Correct answer: B
Rationale: To find the median of a set of numbers, first arrange the scores in ascending order: 78, 83, 92, 97. Since there is an even number of scores, we find the median by taking the average of the two middle values. In this case, the middle values are 83 and 92. Calculating (83 + 92) / 2 = 85, we determine that the overall median of Dwayne's scores is 85. Choice A (19) is incorrect as it does not correspond to any value in the given set of scores. Choice C (83) is the median of the original set but not the overall median once arranged. Choice D (87.5) is the average of all scores but not the median.
