the speed of a subway train is represented by the equation z = s ^ 2 + 2 s for all situations where 0 ≤ s ≤ 7 , where z is the rate of speed in kilometers per hour and s is the time in seconds from the moment the train starts moving . in kilometers per hour , how much faster is the subway train moving after 6 seconds than it was moving after 3 seconds ?
given : z = s ^ 2 + 2 s for 0 ≤ s ≤ 7 z ( 3 ) = 3 ^ 2 + 2 * 3 = 15 z ( 6 ) = 6 ^ 2 + 2 * 6 = 48 therefore z ( 7 ) - z ( 3 ) = 48 - 15 = 33 km / hr option e

revenues were recorded for store a and store b over a period of 3 months . in the first month , store a ' s revenues were $ 12000 higher than store b ' s revenues . in the second month , store a ' s revenues were $ 8000 higher than store b ' s revenues . if store a ' s average ( arithmetic mean ) monthly revenue for the 3 months was $ 2000 greater than store b ' s average monthly revenue , then store b ' s revenue in the third month was how much greater than store a ' s revenue ?
answer : cit may be tempting to come up with a lot of variables , one each for each month ' s revenue for each company . however , focus on the differences . in the first month , the difference was + 12 in favor of a . ( note that we can drop the thousands since every number in the question is in terms of thousands . ) in the second , the difference was + 8 in favor of a . the average was + 2 in favor of a . with these numbers , use the average formula to find the third month ( t ) : ( 12 + 8 + t ) / 3 = 2 20 + t = 6 t = - 14 since positive numbers indicate a difference in favor of a , negative numbers are in favor of b . - 14 represents a $ 14,000 advantage in favor of store b . choice ( a ) is correct .

one may notice that greatest possible values differ in each answer choice in contrast to the least values , which repeat . to find out the greatest value you should count the total classes ( 34 * 2 = 68 ) , then subtract the total # of teachers since we know from the question that each teacher taught at least one class ( 68 - 40 = 28 ) . thus we get a number of the available extra - classes for teachers , and all that we need is just to count how many teachers could take 2 more classes , which is 28 / 2 = 14 . so the greatest possible value of the # of teachers who had 3 classes is 14 . only answer b has this option .
