Instructions Show your complete reasoning for full credit. This assessment period is 45 minutes within the 65-minute lesson block. Scientific calculators are permitted.
SECTION 01
Algebraic Structures
1. Solve the following quadratic equation for \(x\). Show your steps using the quadratic formula or factoring.
\[x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0\]
2. A cell phone plan costs $30 per month plus $0.15 per gigabyte of data used. Write a linear function \(C(g)\) for the total cost and calculate the cost if a user consumes 12 GB of data.
SECTION 02
Spatial Reasoning
3. A right-angled triangle has a base of 8 cm and a hypotenuse of 17 cm. Calculate the height of the triangle. (Include units in your final answer).
4. A cylindrical water tank has a radius of 4 meters and a height of 10 meters. Calculate the total volume of the tank. Use \(\pi \approx 3.14\).
SECTION 03
Data & Logic
5. In a recent survey of 200 students, 65% stated they preferred mathematics over other subjects. How many students is this? If the school has 1,200 students total, use this sample to predict the total number of math-preferring students.
6. Below is a set of test scores from a small group. Find the mean , median , and range of the data set:
{72, 85, 91, 64, 85, 78, 93}
Mean
Median
Range

Grading Guidance
This exam is designed to measure mastery . Award full credit for correct answers with clear work. Partial credit should be awarded for correct logic even if a computational error occurred. Deduct 1 point for missing units where applicable.
1. Quadratic Equation (\(x^2 - 5x - 14 = 0\))
Final Answer:
\(x = 7\), \(x = -2\)
Scoring Work:
\((x - 7)(x + 2) = 0\)
2. Linear Function (Cell Phone Plan)
Final Answer:
Function: \(C(g) = 30 + 0.15g\)
Scoring Work:
\(30 + 0.15(12)\)
3. Pythagorean Theorem (Height)
Final Answer:
15 cm
Scoring Work:
\(8^2 + h^2 = 17^2\)
4. Cylinder Volume
Final Answer:
502.4 \(m^3\)
Scoring Work:
\(V = \pi r^2 h\)
5. Proportions (Student Survey)
Final Answer:
Sample: 130 students
Scoring Work:
\(0.65 \times 200 = 130\)
6. Statistics Breakdown
Final Answers:
Mean: 81.14 | Median: 85 | Range: 29
Scoring Work:
Sum = 568. \(568/7 = 81.14\).
