Q6 Inequalities Ordering and Sign Analysis from Inequality Constraints View
Bilge will choose two of the soup, salad, and fruit options given as one portion each at lunch based on the required calorie amount. Regarding the choices she can make, Bilge has calculated that the required calorie amount is
- exceeded when she chooses soup and fruit, - not exceeded when she chooses fruit and salad, - exactly met when she chooses salad and soup.

Q8 Inequalities Absolute Value Inequality View
An instructor at a parachute jumping course gives the following explanation to the trainees:
"When jumping from an airplane at a height of 800 meters from the ground, you need to open your parachute 400 to 500 meters after jumping from the airplane in order to land safely on the ground."
Accordingly, which of the following inequalities expresses the values that the height from the ground when the parachute opens can take in order to land safely?

Q14 Measures of Location and Spread View
In a data group, when the numbers are arranged from smallest to largest, if the number of terms in the group is odd, the median (middle value) is the middle number; if it is even, the median is the arithmetic mean of the two middle numbers.
The ages and heights of the 9 players on a volleyball team, with the first component representing their ages and the second component representing their heights, are given as the sorted data group by height: $(18; 1.76), (17; 1.79), (18; 1.82), (19; 1.84), (20; 1.84)$, $(21; 1.88), (17; 1.90), (20; 1.92), (19; 1.96)$.
One player left this 9-person team, but the median of both the ages and heights of the remaining players did not change.
Accordingly, which of the following correctly gives the age and height of the player who left the team?
A) $(17; 1.79)$ B) $(17; 1.90)$ C) $(19; 1.84)$ D) $(19; 1.96)$ E) $(21; 1.88)$
Q16 Factor & Remainder Theorem Divisibility and Factor Determination View
Let $a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}$ and $a \neq 0$. To factor the polynomial $ax^2 + bx + c$, we search for $m, n, r, s \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $a = m \cdot r$, $c = n \cdot s$, and $b = m \cdot s + n \cdot r$. If numbers satisfying these conditions can be found, the polynomial is factored as $ax^2 + bx + c = (mx + n)(rx + s)$.
Using the method described above, Sude wants to factor the polynomial $2x^2 + bx - 21$ where $b \in \mathbb{R}$. After finding the real numbers $m, n, r$, and $s$ that satisfy the given conditions, she notices that these numbers are each integers. Later, she confuses the places where she should write the numbers $n$ and $s$, and mistakenly factors the polynomial as $(mx + s)(rx + n)$ instead of $(mx + n)(rx + s)$, and finds the factors of the polynomial $2x^2 + x - 21$.
Accordingly, what is b?
A) 11 B) 12 C) 13 D) 14 E) 15
Q25 Exponential Equations & Modelling Percentage Change and Growth Rate Reasoning View
Temperature conversions between Fahrenheit (${}^{\circ}\mathrm{F}$) and Celsius (${}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$) are calculated using the formula $\mathrm{F} = \frac{9}{5} \cdot \mathrm{C} + 32$.
Cem has been assigned to measure the classroom temperature in Celsius at the same time each day for five days they go to school and find the average temperature of these five days in Celsius. On one of these five days, Cem did not go to school, and his classmate Deniz took the measurement for that day. However, Deniz mistakenly recorded the F value instead of the C value for that day's temperature in the list. Based on the values in the list, Cem calculated the average temperature for these five days as $33.8^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$.

A) Monday B) Tuesday C) Wednesday D) Thursday E) Friday
