considerando sua devida existência, obtém-se
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

Fatorando, a fração se simplifica em (b+c)/(a+b).

O denominador é c(a+b)² − a(a+b)² = (c−a)(a+b)². O numerador agrupa-se em b²(c−a) + b(c−a)(c+a) + ac(c−a) = (c−a)(b+c)(a+b). Simplificando, sobra (b+c)/(a+b).

Análise das alternativas

A, C e D) Não correspondem à fatoração correta, pois (c−a) cancela e um fator (a+b) permanece no denominador.

Referência: Fatoração e frações algébricas.

Até a primeira quinzena do mês de março de 2017, o combustível comercializado nos postos de nosso país era uma mistura de 1 parte de etanol para 3 partes de gasolina.
Considere esse combustível e um outro que apresenta a mistura de 4 partes de etanol para 9 partes de gasolina.

Juntando-se volumes iguais dos dois combustíveis, a nova relação de etanol para gasolina, nesta ordem, será
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

Misturando volumes iguais, etanol/gasolina = 29/75.

No 1º combustível, etanol = 1/4 e gasolina = 3/4. No 2º, etanol = 4/13 e gasolina = 9/13. Somando, etanol = 29/52 e gasolina = 75/52, logo a razão é 29/75.

Análise das alternativas

A, B e D) Resultam de somar as partes diretamente sem igualar os volumes (ou de erros de conta).

Referência: Razão e proporção; misturas.

O gráfico a seguir é de uma função polinomial do 1º grau e descreve a velocidade v de um móvel em função do tempo t:

Gráfico de v (km/h) em função de t (horas): semirreta crescente que parte do ponto (0, 50) e passa pelo ponto (10, 55); linhas tracejadas marcam t = 6 e t = 10 e a região sob a semirreta entre t = 6 e t = 10 está hachurada.

Assim, no instante t = 10 horas o móvel está a uma velocidade de 55 km/h, por exemplo.
Sabe-se que é possível determinar a distância que o móvel percorre calculando a área limitada entre o eixo horizontal t e a semirreta que representa a velocidade em função do tempo. Desta forma, a área hachurada no gráfico fornece a distância, em km, percorrida pelo móvel do instante 6 a 10 horas.
É correto afirmar que a distância percorrida pelo móvel, em km, do instante 3 a 9 horas é de

Carlos, Paulo e José resolveram fazer um lanche na praça de alimentação de um shopping center.
Ao observarem o cardápio disponível, perceberam que teriam que pedir o que era denominado de “Combo”, ou seja, um combinado de vários itens por um preço já especificado.
Assim, os Combos solicitados foram:
*Combo 1 = R$ 15,00 : 2 hambúrgueres,1 suco e 1 sobremesa
*Combo 2 = R$ 24,00 : 4 hambúrgueres e 3 sucos
*Combo 3 = R$ 35,00 : 5 sucos e 3 sobremesas

O valor individual dos hambúrgueres é o mesmo, bem como o valor individual dos sucos e o valor individual das sobremesas, não importando qual Combo foi escolhido.
O quadro a seguir mostra a quantidade de cada um dos itens dos Combos que Carlos, Paulo e José consumiram:

| Hambúrgueres | Sucos | Sobremesas
Carlos | 2 | 4 | 2
Paulo | 3 | 3 | 0
José | 1 | 2 | 2

Se Carlos, Paulo e José se organizaram para descobrir o valor individual de cada item e pagaram individualmente apenas pelo que cada um consumiu, então é correto afirmar que
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

Hambúrguer R$ 3, suco R$ 4, sobremesa R$ 5: Paulo e José pagaram R$ 21 cada.

Do sistema 2h+s+d=15, 4h+3s=24 e 5s+3d=35 obtém-se h=3, s=4 e d=5. Carlos pagou 6+16+10=32, Paulo 9+12=21 e José 3+8+10=21, então Paulo e José pagaram o mesmo valor.

Análise das alternativas

A) Errada: Carlos pagou R$ 11 a mais que Paulo. B) Errada: a diferença entre Carlos e José é R$ 11. D) Errada: José e Paulo pagaram igual, então José não pagou mais que Paulo.

Uma revendedora de automóveis usados apresenta um modelo e o anuncia por x reais.
Para atrair clientes, a revendedora oferece duas formas de pagamento:

Forma de pagamento | Valor
À vista | 10% de desconto sobre o preço anunciado
Cartão de crédito | Com acréscimo de 20% sobre o preço anunciado, sendo o total dividido em 10 parcelas iguais

Um cliente comprou um automóvel e optou pelo pagamento no cartão de crédito em 10 parcelas iguais de R$ 3 240,00

Considerando as informações anteriores, é correto afirmar que
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

x = 27 000; à vista 24 300; economia de 8 100.

As parcelas somam 10·3 240 = 32 400 = 1,2x, logo x = 27 000. À vista seriam 0,9·27 000 = 24 300, e a economia seria 32 400 − 24 300 = 8 100, mais de R$ 8 000.

Análise das alternativas

A) Errada: x = 27 000 > 25 000. B) Errada: à vista seriam 24 300 < 24 500. C) Errada: 32 400/24 300 ≈ 1,333, acréscimo de cerca de 33,3%, não 30%.

De acordo com o senso comum, parece que a juventude tem gosto por aventuras radicais. Os alunos do CPCAR não fogem dessa condição.
Durante as últimas férias, um grupo desses alunos se reuniu para ir a São Paulo com o objetivo de saltar de “Bungee Jumping” da Ponte Octávio Frias de Oliveira, geralmente chamada de “Ponte Estaiada”.
Em uma publicação na rede social de um desses saltos, eles, querendo impressionar, colocaram algumas medidas fictícias da aproximação do saltador em relação ao solo.
Considere que a trajetória que o saltador descreve possa ser modelada por uma função polinomial do 2º grau f(x) = ax² + bx + c, cujo eixo das abscissas coincida com a reta da Av. Nações Unidas e o eixo das ordenadas contenha o “ponto mais próximo da Avenida”, indicados na figura.
Considere, também, as medidas informadas.

Esquema da Ponte Estaiada com o saltador na borda do tabuleiro. A trajetória do saltador é um arco de parábola abaixo do tabuleiro; o ponto mais próximo da avenida está a 4 m da Av. Nações Unidas; outro ponto da trajetória, à esquerda, está a 30 m de altura e a 39 m, na horizontal, do ponto mais próximo da avenida.

Numa doceria comprei dois tipos de doce. Do primeiro tipo, 6 unidades de determinado valor unitário. Do segundo tipo, cujo valor unitário é 3 reais mais caro que o primeiro tipo, comprei uma quantidade que equivale ao dobro do valor unitário do primeiro tipo. Entreguei seis notas de 50 reais para pagar tal compra e recebi 30 reais de troco.

Dos dois tipos de doce que comprei, gastei com o mais caro, em reais, um total de
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

Equação do 2º grau dá preço de R$ 9 e R$ 12; o mais caro custou R$ 216.

Pagou-se 6·50 − 30 = 270. Seja p o preço do 1º doce: 6p + 2p(p+3) = 270, logo p² + 6p − 135 = 0 e p = 9. O 2º doce custa 12 e foram 2·9 = 18 unidades, então 18·12 = 216.

Análise das alternativas

B, C e D) Não resultam da conta correta (18 unidades a R$ 12). A raiz negativa (−15) é descartada.

As ideias de rotação e de simetria de seres/objetos não são um privilégio da Matemática, muito embora a noção de beleza, estreitamente ligada à Arte e à Natureza, também não esteja isenta de uma noção matemática.
O “Homem Vitruviano” guarda em si essas noções.

Desenho do Homem Vitruviano, de Leonardo da Vinci: figura masculina com braços e pernas em duas posições sobrepostas, inscrita em um círculo e em um quadrado.

SOME OF THE INTERNET'S CRAZIEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Michael Jackson Is Still Alive
The advent of the internet hasn't just cooked up¹
new conspiracy theories, it's also accelerated existing
ones. If you refuse to believe that it was the Iranians that
[5] killed him, perhaps you'll be convinced that MJ is actually
still alive. Proof? His own daughter Paris Jackson took a
photo of him. Seriously. What do you mean you don't
see him? He's right there in the back seat, stacked²
under that pile of clothes wearing his iconic hat. Believe,
[10] man. Thriller Vol.2 to drop next year.
The Moon Doesn't Exist
It's no good looking at it, night after night. The
moon doesn't exist. It's a hologram, put there by persons
unknown. Of course, serial conspiracy theorist David
[15] Icke has a theory. There are also countless YouTubers
keeping an eye out, one of whom has gone as far as
"looking at it regularly for a year".
Jay Z Is A Time-Travelling Vampire
There are vast regions of the internet devoted to
[20] explaining why Jay Z is part of the Illuminati. Hence³
when this photo, which was taken in New York in 1939,
appeared last year, he was accused of being a time-
traveller. And a vampire. This video lists other old-time
celebrity lookalikes⁴, as well as suggesting that
[25] Hollywood stars don't age because they're the immortal
bloodsucking undead. Not because they're stuffed⁵ with
botox, then?
The Earth Is Hollow
Don't give up, readers. We're halfway through
[30] this list. We can make it to the end. Dig⁶ deep. Well, not
too deep. You see, the Earth is hollow⁷ and accessible
via portals at the north and south poles. Luckily though,
it's quite habitable down there, providing excellent living
quarters⁸ for the lost Viking colonies of Greenland and
[35] the Nazis, while "aliens" are in fact just visitors from the
subterranean areas.
Siri Can Predict The Apocalypse
Amazing as it may seem, given that it can't do
anything else you actually ask it to do, Siri can predict
[40] the apocalypse. When asked "What day is 27th July
2014?", Apple's assistant replied, "The opening of the
gate of Hades", aka⁹ The End Of The World. That date
has now passed without issue¹⁰. Say what you like about
the maligned MS Office paperclip, but at least he didn't
[45] scaremonger¹¹ that the end was near.
We All Live In The Matrix And Billionaires Want To Break Us Out Of It
The New Yorker’s Tad Friend claims that many
people in Silicone Valley are obsessed with the idea that
[50] we're all living in a Matrix-like simulation, and some are
taking that obsession a stage further: “Two tech
billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage
scientists to work on breaking us out of the
simulation.”Here's hoping Mark Zuckerberg is 'The One',
[55] yeah?
Hitler Is Still Alive
"Hitler is still alive" rumours have circulated since
the 1970s, fuelled by the fact that his crony Josef
Mengele hid in South America. Stories like this one,
[60] however, speculate the 125-year-old Hitler has been
responsible for various world disasters, including 9/11
and the 2010 Gulf oil spill, which happened on his
birthday. Other theories say he died in 1984 in Brazil,
aged 94. Or in Argentina, aged 73.

SOME OF THE INTERNET'S CRAZIEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES

Michael Jackson Is Still Alive
The advent of the internet hasn't just cooked up¹
new conspiracy theories, it's also accelerated existing
ones. If you refuse to believe that it was the Iranians that
[5] killed him, perhaps you'll be convinced that MJ is actually
still alive. Proof? His own daughter Paris Jackson took a
photo of him. Seriously. What do you mean you don't
see him? He's right there in the back seat, stacked²
under that pile of clothes wearing his iconic hat. Believe,
[10] man. Thriller Vol.2 to drop next year.
The Moon Doesn't Exist
It's no good looking at it, night after night. The
moon doesn't exist. It's a hologram, put there by persons
unknown. Of course, serial conspiracy theorist David
[15] Icke has a theory. There are also countless YouTubers
keeping an eye out, one of whom has gone as far as
"looking at it regularly for a year".
Jay Z Is A Time-Travelling Vampire
There are vast regions of the internet devoted to
[20] explaining why Jay Z is part of the Illuminati. Hence³
when this photo, which was taken in New York in 1939,
appeared last year, he was accused of being a time-
traveller. And a vampire. This video lists other old-time
celebrity lookalikes⁴, as well as suggesting that
[25] Hollywood stars don't age because they're the immortal
bloodsucking undead. Not because they're stuffed⁵ with
botox, then?
The Earth Is Hollow
Don't give up, readers. We're halfway through
[30] this list. We can make it to the end. Dig⁶ deep. Well, not
too deep. You see, the Earth is hollow⁷ and accessible
via portals at the north and south poles. Luckily though,
it's quite habitable down there, providing excellent living
quarters⁸ for the lost Viking colonies of Greenland and
[35] the Nazis, while "aliens" are in fact just visitors from the
subterranean areas.
Siri Can Predict The Apocalypse
Amazing as it may seem, given that it can't do
anything else you actually ask it to do, Siri can predict
