1. **Problem 1:** Calculate $4^7 - 4^6$ and express $2^7 + 2^6$ as $a^b$ where $a,b$ are natural numbers. - Calculate $4^7 - 4^6$: $$4^7 = 4 \times 4^6$$ So, $$4^7 - 4^6 = 4^6 (4 - 1) = 4^6 \times 3$$ - Calculate $2^7 + 2^6$: $$2^7 + 2^6 = 2^6 (2 + 1) = 2^6 \times 3$$ - Express $2^7 + 2^6$ as $a^b$: Since $2^7 + 2^6 = 2^6 \times 3$, and $3$ is not a power of 2, but the problem states one $a$ is 8. - Note that $8 = 2^3$, so try to write $2^7 + 2^6$ as $8^b$: $$2^7 + 2^6 = 128 + 64 = 192$$ $$8^1 = 8, 8^2 = 64, 8^3 = 512$$ So $192$ is not a pure power of 8, but the problem states the sum of possible $a$ and $b$ is 7 and product is 63. - From the problem, possible $(a,b)$ pairs satisfy $a^b = 192$ with $a,b$ natural numbers. 2. **Problem 2:** Keliling segitiga siku-siku sama kaki adalah 24 cm. Find the length of the longest side. - Let the legs be $x$, hypotenuse $h$. - Since it's isosceles right triangle, $h = x\sqrt{2}$. - Perimeter: $$2x + x\sqrt{2} = 24$$ - Solve for $x$: $$x(2 + \sqrt{2}) = 24$$ $$x = \frac{24}{2 + \sqrt{2}}$$ - Rationalize denominator: $$x = \frac{24}{2 + \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{2 - \sqrt{2}} = 24 \times \frac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{(2)^2 - (\sqrt{2})^2} = 24 \times \frac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{4 - 2} = 24 \times \frac{2 - \sqrt{2}}{2} = 12(2 - \sqrt{2})$$ - Hypotenuse: $$h = x\sqrt{2} = 12(2 - \sqrt{2})\sqrt{2} = 12(2\sqrt{2} - 2) = 24\sqrt{2} - 24$$ - So the longest side is $24\sqrt{2} - 24$ (Option C). 3. **Problem 3:** Kak Majid has candies to distribute. If each student gets 2 candies, 9 remain. If each gets 3 candies, 2 students get 1 candy. - Let number of students be $n$, total candies $T$. - From first condition: $$T = 2n + 9$$ - From second condition: $$T = 3(n - 2) + 2 = 3n - 6 + 2 = 3n - 4$$ - Equate: $$2n + 9 = 3n - 4$$ $$9 + 4 = 3n - 2n$$ $$13 = n$$ - So, number of students is 13 (Option D). 4. **Problem 4:** Solve system: $$y + 2z = -4$$ $$3x - 2y = -7$$ $$2x + 2y - 3z = 11$$ - From first: $$y = -4 - 2z$$ - Substitute into second: $$3x - 2(-4 - 2z) = -7$$ $$3x + 8 + 4z = -7$$ $$3x + 4z = -15$$ - Substitute $y$ into third: $$2x + 2(-4 - 2z) - 3z = 11$$ $$2x - 8 - 4z - 3z = 11$$ $$2x - 8 - 7z = 11$$ $$2x - 7z = 19$$ - Solve system: $$3x + 4z = -15$$ $$2x - 7z = 19$$ - Multiply first by 2, second by 3: $$6x + 8z = -30$$ $$6x - 21z = 57$$ - Subtract: $$6x + 8z - (6x - 21z) = -30 - 57$$ $$6x + 8z - 6x + 21z = -87$$ $$29z = -87$$ $$z = -3$$ - Substitute $z$ back: $$3x + 4(-3) = -15$$ $$3x - 12 = -15$$ $$3x = -3$$ $$x = -1$$ - Find $y$: $$y = -4 - 2(-3) = -4 + 6 = 2$$ - Check sums: $$x + y + z = -1 + 2 - 3 = -2$$ $$x y z = (-1) \times 2 \times (-3) = 6$$ - So answers: - $x_0 = -1$ (not option A) - $y_0 = 2$ (Option B) - $z_0 = -3$ (not option C) - $x_0 + y_0 + z_0 = -2$ (Option D) - $x_0 y_0 z_0 = 6$ (Option E) 5. **Problem 5:** Nilai tes diagnostik D. - Given table: - A: B=8, TJ=1, S=1, Nilai=43 - B: B=6, TJ=1, S=3, Nilai=25 - C: B=5, TJ=3, S=2, Nilai=18 - D: B=7, TJ=0, S=3, Nilai=? - Assume Nilai depends on B, TJ, S. - Check pattern: - A: 8 correct → 43 - B: 6 correct → 25 - C: 5 correct → 18 - Differences: - From 8 to 6 correct, Nilai drops 18 - From 6 to 5 correct, Nilai drops 7 - Approximate linear relation: - Try formula: Nilai = 5B + c - For A: 5*8 + c = 43 → 40 + c = 43 → c=3 - For B: 5*6 + 3 = 33 (not 25) - Try another approach: - Nilai roughly proportional to B and inversely to S. - For D: B=7, S=3 - Average Nilai per correct for A: 43/8=5.375 - For B: 25/6=4.167 - For C: 18/5=3.6 - For D: estimate ~4.5 per correct → 7*4.5=31.5 - Closest option is 33 (Option D). 6. **Problem 6:** Inequalities: $$y \geq 0$$ $$2x + y \geq 10$$ $$x \geq y?$$ - Statements: 1. $y \leq 4$ 2. $x + y \leq 6$ - Check if these hold given constraints. 7. **Problem 7:** Price table for Mangga and Jeruk. - No question asked, so no solution. 8. **Problem 8:** Piecewise function: $$f(x) = \begin{cases} 2x + 3 & -3 \leq x < -1 \\ x^2 + 1 & -1 \leq x < 2 \\ 9 - x & 2 \leq x < 5 \end{cases}$$ - Find range of $f$. - For $-3 \leq x < -1$: $$y = 2x + 3$$ At $x = -3$, $y = 2(-3) + 3 = -6 + 3 = -3$ At $x \to -1^-$, $y = 2(-1) + 3 = 1$ Range: $-3 \leq y < 1$ - For $-1 \leq x < 2$: $$y = x^2 + 1$$ Minimum at $x=0$, $y=1$ At $x=-1$, $y=2$ At $x=2$, $y=5$ Range: $1 \leq y < 5$ - For $2 \leq x < 5$: $$y = 9 - x$$ At $x=2$, $y=7$ At $x=5$, $y=4$ Range: $4 < y \leq 7$ - Combine ranges: $$-3 \leq y < 1 \cup 1 \leq y < 5 \cup 4 < y \leq 7$$ Simplify: $$-3 \leq y < 1 \cup 1 \leq y < 5 \cup 4 < y \leq 7 = -3 \leq y < 7$$ - The function's range is $-3 \leq y \leq 7$ (Option C). 9. **Problem 9:** Sugar production problem. - Given: $$y = \frac{1}{4}x + \sqrt{x}$$ $$z = \frac{1}{5} y$$ Want $z = 72$ tons. - Find $x$: $$72 = \frac{1}{5} \left( \frac{1}{4} x + \sqrt{x} \right)$$ $$360 = \frac{1}{4} x + \sqrt{x}$$ - Let $t = \sqrt{x}$, so $x = t^2$: $$360 = \frac{1}{4} t^2 + t$$ Multiply both sides by 4: $$1440 = t^2 + 4t$$ Rearrange: $$t^2 + 4t - 1440 = 0$$ - Solve quadratic: $$t = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 5760}}{2} = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{5776}}{2}$$ $$\sqrt{5776} = 76$$ So, $$t = \frac{-4 \pm 76}{2}$$ - Positive root: $$t = \frac{72}{2} = 36$$ - So, $$x = t^2 = 36^2 = 1296$$ - Answer: 1296 tons (Option C). 10. **Problem 10:** Inverse of $$f(x) = x^2 - 2x, x < 1$$ - Complete the square: $$f(x) = (x - 1)^2 - 1$$ - Let $y = (x - 1)^2 - 1$ $$y + 1 = (x - 1)^2$$ $$x - 1 = \pm \sqrt{y + 1}$$ - Since $x < 1$, choose negative root: $$x = 1 - \sqrt{y + 1}$$ - So inverse: $$f^{-1}(x) = 1 - \sqrt{x + 1}$$ - Option D. 11. **Problem 11:** Sequence: 0, 1, 6/5, 9/7, 4/3, 15/11, 18/13, 7/5, ...
