虽然有机经,但是建议朋友们有时间还是看一下,本来以为数学还是很easy,哎!刚做完PS1,把我错的觉得值得再看一下的题放在一个word里面了,如果有同学没有时间了,而且没做prep,建议可以看一下,反正没有坏处,基本上每道题都很有代表性,有几道挺有意思的。我数学一般,跟NN比不了。看了我的错题别笑话我!!!后面的还没来得及做,如果反响好的话,后面做完的还会继续发上来,希望对大家有点用吧。一起加油!

For every positive even integer n, the function h(n) is defined to be the product of all the even integers from 2 to n, inclusive.  If p is the smallest prime factor of h(100) + 1, then p is

(A) between 2 and 10
(B) between 10 and 20
(C) between 20 and 30
(D) between 30 and 40
(E) greater than 40
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【答案】E
【思路】
      假設h(100)+1最小因數是 n , n<50
例如47好了, 既然47是因數, 他就能整除h(100)+1
可是發現h(100)裡面有47的因數,可以整除 那h(100)+1被47除的餘數為1,表示47不是h(100)+1的因數
同理去想 小於50的其它因式 也是會一樣的結果
所以h(100)+1的因式是在 大於50外
重點在那50!, 假如 小於50的質數是h(100)的factor,那就不會是h(100)+1的factor ,因為餘數會是1

Last year the range of the annual salaries of the 100 employees at Company X was $30,000.  If the annual salary of each of the 100 employees this year is 10 percent greater than it was last year, what is the range of the annual salaries of the 100 employees this year?

(A) $27,000
(B) $30,000
(C) $33,000
(D) $36,000
(E) $63,000
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【答案】C
【思路】Last year the range of the annual salaries of the 100 employees at Company X=30,000(假設最大annual salaries=50,000,最小annual salaries=20,000)
        又今年比去年annual salary漲10% 表示the range of the annual salaries of the 100 employees this year=50,000x(1.1)-20,000x(1.1)=33,000

A set of 15 different integers has a median of 25 and a range of 25.  What is the greatest possible integer that could be in this set?

(A) 32
(B) 37
(C) 40
(D) 43
(E) 50
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【答案】 D
【思路】
Range定義=最大值-最小值

題目問說哪個最有可能是最大值,所以從最大的先推推看
E)Max:50,range25代表Min=50-25=25 ==>可是25又是中位數,所以不可能!!
D)Max:43,range25代表Min=43-25=18
列舉驗證一下: 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 ........43
總共15個,所以中位數左邊應該有7個
剛好25也是中位數,所以成立!!
[另解]
因為range25,各選項間距為
=>(7~32)(12~37)(15~40)(18~43)(25~50)
由於15個不同的數字,此外,中位數為25=>只有D選項符合

The rate of a certain chemical reaction is directly proportional to the square of the concentration of chemical A present and inversely proportional to the concentration of chemical B present.  If the concentration of chemical B is increased by 100 percent, which of the following is closest to the percent change in the concentration of chemical A required to keep the reaction rate unchanged?

(A) 100% decrease
(B) 50% decrease
(C) 40% decrease
(D) 40% increase
(E) 50% increase
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
【答案】D
【思路】
題目意思是說 化學物A的平方與此化學反應速率成正比
化學物B 與此化學反應速率成反比
所以B增加100% 換句話說B變成了兩倍 所以反應速率變成1/2
要讓原本的速率不變 所以A勢必要增加 能讓速度變成兩倍去抵銷那1/2倍
得到算式會是2*1/2=1
A的平方與速率成正比 所以A平方就等於2 A就等於根號2=1.41...

換句話說 增加了40%左右

1st : $0.1
2nd: min{0.1+0.3, 0.1*2} = 0.2
3rd: min{0.2+0.3, 0.2*2} = 0.4
4th: min{0.4+0.3, 0.4*2} = 0.7
