Choice D is correct. Adding 53 to each side of the given equation yields k ^ 2 = 144. Taking the square root of each side of this equation yields k = plus or minus 12. Therefore, the positive solution to the given equation is 12. #SATPractice

Choice B is the best answer. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice B is the best answer. The convention being tested is the punctuation of items in a complex series (a series including internal punctuation). In this choice, the semicolon after "Lagos" is conventionally used to separate the first item ("The Joys...Lagos") and the second item ("A Kind... Nigeria") in the series. Further, the comma after "Marriage" correctly separates the title "A Kind of Marriage" from the supplementary phrase ("a television...Nigeria") that describes it. #SATPractice

Choice A is the best answer. #SATPractice
TEXT: Choice A is the best answer because it most logically completes the text's discussion of the evidence found in Queen Merneith's tomb. The text begins by mentioning archaeologists' efforts to excavate the tomb of Queen Merneith, the wife of a pharaoh who some scholars think was actually the first female pharaoh. The text states that a tablet discovered in her tomb suggests she "was in charge of the country's treasury and other central offices," which supports the idea that she had an important role in Egypt's government.

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
