3. What is the value of y in the expression
Problem Solving
for it to be divisible by 1
1. Notice that x 2 can be factored out and we get,
(a−4 )
A. y=20
B. y=22
C. y=24 This can be factored further by factoring the
D. y=26 polynomial inside the parenthesis.

4. Arrange the following numbers in the increasing


order of their magnitude.
2. In this problem, first use this logarithm property
, ,

A. Although there are more than two terms in the


problem, this property can still be used.
B.

C.

D.
Now, we can use the property

where a=200!

Hence, and

3. For decomposing the function, factor first the


denominator
x +2 A B
= +
( x−4)(x−3) x −4 x−3
Now, first group the coefficients together as well
as the constants,
x +2= A( x−3)+ B( x −4)
x +2=(A + B) x +(−3 A−4 B)
From here, the coefficients and the constants are
equated as shown below:
A+ B=1
−3 A−4 B=2
Notice that we can now solve for A and B by
using either substitution or elimination since we
now have a system of equations. For this
problem, the substitution method will be used.

Hence the values for A and B are 6 and -5,


respectively.
