23. Three circles of radii 10, 14 and 60 are tangent to each other such that the center of each
circle is outside the two other circles. Find the number of square units in the area of the triangle
whose vertices are the centers of the three circles?
(A) 820 (B) 840 (C) 830 (D) 850
Solution:
The sides of a triangles are 24, 70, and 74 units. To get the area of the triangle we can use the
Heron’s formula.
A s s a s b s c , where a,b, and c are the lengths of the triangle
and s is the
semi-perimeter of the triangle so

25. We select 6 numbers at random, with replacement, from the set of integers from 1 to 300
inclusive. What is the probability that the product of the 6 numbers is even?
(A) 32
31 (B) 1 (C) 64
61 (D) 64
63
Solution:
Let A= event that the product of 6 numbers selected at random , with replacement, from the set
of integers from 1 to 300 inclusive is even.
So AC = event that the product of 6 numbers selected at random, with replacement, from the set
of integers from 1 to 300 inclusive is odd.
The product of 6 numbers is odd if each number is an odd number.

is a root (zero) of the quadratic polynomial

1
1 23

The other root of the quadratic polynomial is the conjugate of 1 2 3 which is 1 23.
Sum of roots = ( 1 2 3) ( 1 2 3) 2
Product of roots = ( 1 2 3)( 1 2 3) ( 1)2 (2 3)2 1 12 11
Therefore the quadratic equation is
