Since m1xm2 = -1, we can say that line l is perpendicular to line w. Since line k does not intersect line l, it means that line l is parallel to...

Assuming no complicated physics is applied :) IMO B : Since the expression is: h = -16 (t - 3)^2 + 150, the maximum height will be 150 ft. This will happen when t = 3 secs. Hence 2 sec after the maximu height is reached is 2+3 = 5 sec Put t = 5 in the expression h = -16(2)^2 + 150 = 86. Hope this he...

IMO A:

A: wv = v^2 => v(w-v) = 0.
Either v = 0 or w = v. It is given that w and v are different. Hence v = 0. Sufficient

B: w = 2. Doesn't give any info about v. Hence insufficient.

IMO C: Question asks whether n is a factor of t or t/n = integer A: n=3^(n-2) => n = 3^n / 9 => 3^n = 9n This doesn't give any information about t. Hence insufficient B: t = 3^n t/n = 3^n / n. If n = 2, t/n is not an integer if n = 3, t/n is an integer. Hence insufficient Combining A and B t = 9n. t...

IMO [spoiler]C:[/spoiler] Here is my shot at the problem A: This tells us that there are 6 clerks. So the minimum number of presents wrapped per hour is 20 and maximum number of presents wrapped per hour is 180. Also the total number of presents is >= 70 This doesn't tell us whether all the presents...

IMO E

x^2 + 5y = 49
A: 1<x<4. for x = 2, we have y = 9. for x = 2.5, y is not an integer. Hence insufficient
B: x^2 is an integer. if x^2 = 4, y is integer. If x^2 = 3, y is not an integer. Hence insufficient

Combining A and B also doesn't give unique value of y.

IMO B:
(a^3 - a^2 - b)^.5 = 7
or (a^3 - a^2 - b) = 49

A: a^2 - a =12 => a^2 - a - 12 = 0 => a = 4 or a = -3. Not sufficient
B: b^2 - b = 2 => b = 2 or b = -1
if b = 2, a^3 - a^2 = 51. This doesn't give an integer value for a.
if b = -1, a^3 - a^2 = 48 => a = 4. Sufficient

Hope this helps
