16. Correct answer: 10
2 circles with same center
Shaded area = 64π
The smaller circle has a radius of 6
The radius of the larger circle
Topic(s): Area of circle
Let r be the radius of the bigger circle
Shaded area = Area of bigger circle – area of smaller circle
17. Correct answer: 8
p, r and s are 3 different prime numbers greater than 2
n = p × r × s
The number of positive factors of n, including 1 and n
The positive factors of n are
1, n, p, r, s, pr, ps, and sr
There are 8 factors
18. Correct answer: 70
h(t)= c – (d – 4t)2
At t = 0, the height = 6
At t = 2.5, the height = 106
The height of the ball at time t
Substitute t = 0 and h(t) = 6
6 = c – d2 (equation 1)
Substitute t = 2.5 and h(t) = 106
Replace c – d 2 by 6 (from equation 1)
To find height at t =1.
Substitute equation 1 and equation 2 into equation 3
h(1) = 6 + 8(10) – 16 = 70
