    • A. $\sqrt[3]{12}$
    • B. 12
    • C. 2
    • D. $\sqrt[3]{28}$
  2. 2. Solve the inequality $\sqrt[3]{x} > 1.7$.

    • A. $x > 4.913$
    • B. $x < 4.913$
    • C. $x > 2.89$
    • D. $x < 2.89$
  3. 3. The vertex of the parabola defined by the function $p(x) = 9 - x^2$ is at the point (0, ___).

  4. 4. Does the given table represent q as a function of p? | $p$ | 3 | -3 | 2 | -2 | -2 | 0 | |-----|---|----|----|----|----|---| | $q$ | 2 | -1 | 4 | -4 | 3 | 0 |

    • A. Yes, because each input has exactly one output.
    • B. No, because an input value is associated with more than one output value.
    • C. Yes, because all the output values are different.
    • D. No, because there are negative numbers in the table.
  5. 5. For the function $m(p) = \frac{120}{p + 15}$, find the value of $m(5)$. $m(5) = \_\_\_$

  6. 6. For the function $P(x) = x^2 - 6x + 5$, compute $P(0)$. $P(0) = \_\_\_$

  7. 7. For the function $h(v) = 6 - |4 - 2v|$, find the value of $h(8)$. $h(8) = \_\_\_$

  8. 8. Find all values of $x$ for which $P(x) = x^2 - 6x + 5$ equals 0.

    • A. $x=1, x=5$
    • B. $x=-1, x=-5$
    • C. $x=2, x=3$
    • D. $x=-2, x=-3$
  9. 9. The number of hours required for a boat to travel upstream is given by the function $H(v) = \frac{24}{v - 8}$, where $v$ is the boat's top speed in miles per hour. Calculate $H(16)$. $H(16) = \_\_\_$
