19. For a finite sequence of nonzero numbers, the number of variations in
sign is defined as the number of pairs of consecutive terms of the sequence for
which the product of the two consecutive terms is negative. What is the number of variations in sign for the
sequence 1, -3, 2, 5, -4, -6 ? (A) One (B) Two (C) Three (D) Four (E) Five
7. 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 |
