Gabriel, depois de uma longa temporada de dedicação aos estudos, foi descansar na casa de seus avós, no interior. Lá chegando, percebeu que muitas coisas de sua infância ainda permaneciam intocáveis. Exemplo disso foi a “venda” de seu avô... uma verdadeira bagunça!
Para ajudar na organização da “venda”, Gabriel aplicou conhecimentos de matemática básica. Assim, ele pegou os quatro sacos de café que ficavam à frente do balcão, pesou-os e etiquetou-os conforme ilustra a Figura (1), em kg

Figura (1): quatro sacos de café etiquetados (I) 2x - 7, (II) 5x+17, (III) 7x e (IV) 6x - 2.
Figura (1) – Peso, em kg, dos sacos de café.

Em seguida, com o total de peso que obteve, retirou ou colocou, em kg, café em cada saco, e anotou numa folha de papel como mostra a Figura (2)

Figura (2): folha de caderno com as anotações: No saco (I): (+) m; No saco (II): (−) 2y - 3; No saco (III): (−) n; No saco (IV): (−) y + 2.
Figura (2) – Anotação de troca de peso, em kg, entre os sacos de café.

Na Figura (2), o símbolo de (+) indica que aquele saco recebeu alguns quilogramas de café, descrito logo à frente do símbolo, bem como o de (−) indica que dele foram retirados alguns quilogramas de café, também descrito logo à frente do símbolo.
Para não perder as contas, Gabriel anotou, também, que:
• o produto da quantidade retirada do saco (II) pela quantidade retirada do saco (IV), em kg, é igual a 165
• depois de acrescentar ou retirar café nos sacos, todos passaram a ter a mesma quantidade, em kg

Dessa forma, sendo {x, y, m, n} ⊂ IN*, é correto afirmar que

As turmas FOX e GOLF do CPCAR 2018, que possuem 30 e 20 alunos, respectivamente, combinaram viajar para uma casa de praia num feriado que aconteceu no mês de junho de 2018.
Antes de viajar, decidiram dividir todas as despesas entre as turmas de forma diretamente proporcional ao número de alunos de cada turma.
Pagaram todas as despesas, mas não pagaram de forma proporcional. A turma FOX pagou 12 000 reais e a turma GOLF pagou 10 500 reais.

Tendo como base o que as turmas haviam combinado em relação às despesas da viagem, é correto afirmar que
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

Divisão proporcional das despesas.

O total é 22 500. Divide-se na proporção 30:20 = 3:2, o que dá 13 500 para a FOX e 9 000 para a GOLF. Logo a FOX deveria ter pago mais de 10 000.

Análise das alternativas

A) A GOLF deveria pagar 9 000, não mais de 10 000. B) A FOX pagou 12 000 contra 13 500, ou seja, cerca de 11,1% a menos, e não 10%. C) A GOLF pagou 1 500 a mais (10 500 − 9 000), que não é maior que 1 800.

Referência: Divisão em partes diretamente proporcionais.

Considere as equações:

(I) x² − bx + 15 = 0 (b ∈ IR) cujas raízes são os números reais α e β (α < β)

(II) x² + kx + 15 = 0 (k ∈ IR)

Sabe-se que as raízes da equação (I) são, cada uma, 8 unidades menores do que as raízes da equação (II)

Com base nessas informações, marque a opção correta.
Selecione uma alternativa

Resolução comentada

Relações de Girard com raízes deslocadas em 8 unidades.

As raízes de (II) são α+8 e β+8, e o produto delas é 15. Logo αβ + 8(α+β) + 64 = 15. Como αβ = 15 e α+β = b, obtém-se b = −8. Então α = −5 e β = −3, e as raízes de (II) são 3 e 5, com k = −8. Assim b³ − k = −512 + 8 = −504, que é negativo.

Análise das alternativas

B) |α−β| = 2, não 1. C) As raízes de (II) são 3 e 5, ambas primas. D) α²−β² = 25−9 = 16, que não divide 8.

WHAT IS MODERN SLAVERY?

Slavery did not end with abolition in the 19th
century. Slavery continues today and harms people in
every country in the world.
Women forced into prostitution. People forced to
5 work in agriculture, domestic work and factories.
Children in sweatshops¹ producing goods sold globally.
Entire families forced to work for nothing to pay off
generational debts. Girls forced to marry older men.
There are estimated 40.3 million people in modern
10 slavery around the world, including:
• 10 million children
• 24.9 million people in forced labour
• 15.4 million people in forced marriage
• 4.8 million people in forced sexual exploitation
15 Someone is in slavery if they are:
• forced to work – through coercion, or mental or
physical threat;
• owned or controlled by an ’employer’, through
mental or physical abuse or the threat of abuse;
20 • dehumanised, treated as a commodity or bought
and sold as ‘property’;
• physically constrained or have restrictions placed
on their freedom of movement.
Slavery has been a disgraceful aspect of human
25 society for most of human history. However, Anti-
Slavery International has refused to accept that this
bloody status quo should be allowed to persist (Aidan
McQuade, former director).
Forms of modern slavery
30 Purposes of exploitation² can range from forced
prostitution and forced labour to forced marriage and
forced organ removal. Here are the most common
forms of modern slavery.
• Forced labour – any work or services which people
35 are forced to do against their will³ under the threat
of some form of punishment.
• Debt bondage or bonded labour – the world’s most
widespread form of slavery, when people borrow
money they cannot repay and are required to work
40 to pay off the debt, then losing control over the
conditions of both their employment and the debt.
• Human trafficking– involves transporting, recruiting
or harbouring people for the purpose of exploitation,
using violence, threats or coercion.
45 • Descent-based slavery – where people are born
into slavery because their ancestors were captured
and enslaved; they remain in slavery by descent.
• Child slavery – many people often confuse child
slavery with child labour, but it is much worse.
50 Whilst⁴ child labour is harmful for children and
hinders⁵ their education and development, child
slavery occurs when a child is exploited for
someone else’s gain. It can include child trafficking,
child soldiers, child marriage and child domestic
55 slavery.
• Forced and early marriage – when someone is
married against their will and cannot leave the
marriage. Most child marriages can be considered
slavery.
60 Many forms of slavery have more than one element
listed above. For example, human trafficking often
involves advance payment for travel and a job abroad,
using money often borrowed from the traffickers. Then,
the debt contributes to control of the victims. Once they
65 arrive, victims cannot leave until they pay off their debt.
Many people think that slavery happens only
overseas, in developing countries. In fact, no country is
free from modern slavery, even Britain. The
Government estimates that there are tens of thousands
70 people in modern slavery in the UK.
Modern slavery can affect people of any age,
gender or race. However, contrary to a common
misconception⁶ that everyone can be a victim of
slavery, some groups of people are much more
75 vulnerable to slavery than others.
People who live in poverty⁷ and have limited
opportunities for decent work are more vulnerable to
accepting deceptive job offers that can turn exploitative.
People who are discriminated against on the basis of
80 race, caste, or gender are also more likely to be
enslaved. Slavery is also more likely to occur where the
rule of law is weaker and corruption is rife.
Anti-Slavery International believes that we have to
tackle⁸ the root causes of slavery in order to end
85 slavery for good. That’s why we published our Anti-
Slavery Charter, listing comprehensive measures that
need to be taken to end slavery across the world.

WHAT IS MODERN SLAVERY?

Slavery did not end with abolition in the 19th
century. Slavery continues today and harms people in
every country in the world.
Women forced into prostitution. People forced to
5 work in agriculture, domestic work and factories.
Children in sweatshops¹ producing goods sold globally.
Entire families forced to work for nothing to pay off
generational debts. Girls forced to marry older men.
There are estimated 40.3 million people in modern
10 slavery around the world, including:
• 10 million children
• 24.9 million people in forced labour
• 15.4 million people in forced marriage
• 4.8 million people in forced sexual exploitation
15 Someone is in slavery if they are:
• forced to work – through coercion, or mental or
physical threat;
• owned or controlled by an ’employer’, through
mental or physical abuse or the threat of abuse;
20 • dehumanised, treated as a commodity or bought
and sold as ‘property’;
• physically constrained or have restrictions placed
on their freedom of movement.
Slavery has been a disgraceful aspect of human
25 society for most of human history. However, Anti-
Slavery International has refused to accept that this
bloody status quo should be allowed to persist (Aidan
McQuade, former director).
Forms of modern slavery
30 Purposes of exploitation² can range from forced
prostitution and forced labour to forced marriage and
forced organ removal. Here are the most common
forms of modern slavery.
• Forced labour – any work or services which people
35 are forced to do against their will³ under the threat
of some form of punishment.
• Debt bondage or bonded labour – the world’s most
widespread form of slavery, when people borrow
money they cannot repay and are required to work
40 to pay off the debt, then losing control over the
conditions of both their employment and the debt.
• Human trafficking– involves transporting, recruiting
or harbouring people for the purpose of exploitation,
using violence, threats or coercion.
45 • Descent-based slavery – where people are born
into slavery because their ancestors were captured
and enslaved; they remain in slavery by descent.
• Child slavery – many people often confuse child
slavery with child labour, but it is much worse.
50 Whilst⁴ child labour is harmful for children and
hinders⁵ their education and development, child
slavery occurs when a child is exploited for
someone else’s gain. It can include child trafficking,
child soldiers, child marriage and child domestic
55 slavery.
• Forced and early marriage – when someone is
married against their will and cannot leave the
marriage. Most child marriages can be considered
slavery.
