Trivia Competition

1) What is the standard form of the equation of the line tangent to a circle centered at the origin with a radius of 5 at the point (3,4)?

D)

The slope of the radius line to point (3,4) is 4/3. Therefore, the slope of the tangent line is -3/4

The point-slope form of a straight line with () = (3,4) is

The standard form is

2) A graph of the equation, would consist of which one of the following?a) One straight line

b) Two parallel straight lines

C)

4) What is the maximum possible positive oxidation number for the element Br?

b) +3

c) +4

d) +7

D) +7

Bromine has an oxidation number of -1, which means that it normally accepts one electron to complete its outer shell of eight electrons. Alternatively, it could give up seven electrons to have a full outer shell.

5) What is the Thevenin equivalent circuit between terminals A and B looking to the left for the following

circuit?

D)

The Thevenin equivalent circuit consists of a voltage source in series with a resistor. The equivalent voltage is the open-circuit voltage betweeb terminals A and B, with disconnected. The voltage will be the same as that across the 12 Ω

= 120 V

The equivalent resistance is found by open-circuiting the current source. The equivalentresistance is the resistance across terminals A and B

6) Given the slope-intercept form of a line as y = mx + b, which one of the following is true?a) m/b is the y-axis intercept

b) b is the x-axis intercept

c) y – b is the slope of the line

d) -b/m is the x-axis intercept

D) -b/m is the x-axis intercept

For the slope-intercept form of a line; y = mx + b

b is the y-intercept where x = 0m is the slope -b/m is the x-intercept where y = 0

7) Inflation can be best be defined as which one of the following?

a) The rise of prices over time

b) An increased demand

c) An increase in interest rate that a bank charges for capital

d) The rise or fall of interest rates over time

A) The rise of prices over time

Inflation is the rise of prices over time. Webster defines inflation as the rise in prices related to an increased volume of money and credit resulting in a loss of currency.

8) A bag contains 100 balls numbered 1 to 100. One ball is drawn from the bag. What is the probability that the number on the ball selected will be odd or greater than 80?

a) 0.1

b) 0.5

c) 0.6

d) 0.7

C) 0.6

Find the probability of each of the outcomes being tested for.

It is possible for the number on the selected ball to be both odd and greater than 80.Use the law of total probability

P(A + B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A,B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A)P(B)

P(odd or > 80) = 0.5 + 0.2 – (0.5)(0.2)= 0.6

9) What is standard temperate and pressure (STP)?

a) 0 Deg F and 14.7 psia

b) 0 Deg C and 1 liter volume

c) 32 Deg F and 0 psia

d) 32 Deg F and 1 atm

D) 32 Deg F and 1 atm

Standard temperature = 0 deg C (32 deg F)Standard pressure = 1 atm (14.7 psia)

10) Which one of the following is a heat treating process?

a) Calcification

b) De-nitrification

c) Annealing

d) Pressurization

C) Annealing

Annealing is a process where a material is heated to just above its critical point and then allowed to slowly cool. This process relieves internal stresses and softens the material.
