Choice C is correct. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice C is correct. Applying the zero product property to the given equation yields three equations: x+2=0, x-5=0, and x+9=0. Subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation x+2=0 yields x=-2 Adding 5 to both sides of the equation x-5=0 yields x=5. Subtracting 9 from both sides of the equation x+9=0 yields x=-9. Therefore, the solutions to the given equation are -2, 5, and -9. It follows that a positive solution to the given equation is 5.

Choice A is the best answer. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice A is the best answer. The convention being tested is the use of punctuation around noun phrases. No punctuation is needed because the noun phrase "Tamatoa the crab" is a restrictive appositive, meaning that it provides essential identifying information about the noun phrase before it, "the character.” Additionally, no punctuation is needed between the noun phrase "the deep and humorous voice...crab" and the verb "belongs" that indicates whom the voice belongs to.

Choice D is correct. The value of f(0) is the value of f(x) when x=0. Substituting 0 for x in the given function yields f(0)=270(0.1)0, or f(0)=270(1) which is equivalent to f(0)=270. Therefore, the value of f(0) is 270. #SATPractice

Choice D is correct. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice D is the best answer because it most accurately describes the overall purpose of the text. The text indicates that “for as long as he could remember,” Max had “begged” his father to take him to La Reina. This point is later emphasized in the text by indicating that “this summer” his father might “finally take” Max to visit La Reina. Thus, the purpose of the text as a whole is to show how much Max wants to visit La Reina.

Choice A is correct. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice A is correct. The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°. Therefore, the sum of the measures of angle R, angle S, and angle T is 180°. It's given that the measure of angle R is 63°. It follows that the sum of the measures of angle S and angle T is (180-63)°, or 117°. Therefore, the measure of angle S, in degrees, must be less than 117. Of the given choices, only 116 is less than 117. Thus, the measure, in degrees, of angle S could be 116.

Choice B is the best answer. The convention being tested is the use of punctuation between titles and proper nouns. No punctuation is needed to set off the proper noun "Marie-Denise Villers" from the title that describes Villers, "little-known French portrait artist." #SATPractice
