A. 25πB. 50πC. 75πD. 100π答案:B2. 如果一个数列的前三项是2, 4, 6,那么第10项是多少?A. 18B. 20C. 22D. 24答案:B3. 一个三角形的三边长分别为3, 4, 5,这个三角形是:A. 等边三角形B. 等腰三角形C. 直角三角形D. 钝角三角形答案:C二、填空题4. 一个数的平方根等于它本身,这个数是________。
答案:0或15. 如果一个函数f(x) = 3x + 5,求f(-2)的值。
答案:-16. 一个长方形的长是10厘米,宽是5厘米,求它的周长。
答案:30厘米三、简答题7. 一个圆的周长是31.4厘米,求这个圆的直径。
解:根据圆的周长公式C = πd,我们有31.4 = πd。
解得d = 31.4 / π ≈ 10厘米。
8. 一个等差数列的首项是5,公差是3,求第20项的值。
解:等差数列的通项公式为an = a1 + (n - 1)d。
将首项a1 = 5和公差d = 3代入公式,得到a20 = 5 + (20 - 1) * 3 = 5 + 57 = 62。
9. 一个直角三角形的两条直角边分别是6和8,求斜边的长度。
解:根据勾股定理,斜边c的长度等于两直角边的平方和的平方根,即c = √(6² + 8²) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10。
四、解答题10. 一个工厂生产了1000个零件,其中5%是次品。
如果工厂决定只出售合格的零件,那么工厂将出售多少个零件?解:首先计算次品的数量,1000 * 5% = 50个。
然后从总数中减去次品的数量,得到出售的合格零件数量:1000 - 50 = 950个。
11. 一个投资项目预计在第一年结束时产生$10,000的利润,如果每年的增长率为5%,那么第三年结束时的利润是多少?解:使用复合利息公式计算,P = P0 * (1 + r)^n,其中P0是初始利润,r是增长率,n是年数。

答案:9:105. 设直线y = 2x + 3与y = -x + 5交于点P,求点P的坐标。
答案:(1, 5)三、解答题1. 计算下列方程的解:2x + 5 = 3x - 4解答:将方程两边的x合并,得:2x - 3x = -4 - 5化简得:-x = -9将方程两边的x系数变为1,得:x = 9因此,方程的解为x = 9。
2. 已知正方形的面积是64平方单位,求其周长。
解答:设正方形的边长为x,则由已知面积可得:x² = 64解方程得:x = √64 = 8正方形的周长等于4倍边长,故周长为4 * 8 = 32。
因此,正方形的周长为32单位。

Choose the word or set of words that, when inserted in the sentence, best fits the meaning of the sentence as a whole.2.The correct answer is CThe phrase "through the centuries' suggests that the first missing term will describe how the "sophisticated piece of technology' developed over a period of time. The word "such' indicates that the second missing term will contrast with "sophisticated.' Only "evolved . . a quaint' 〔sat〕isfies both requirements.3.The correct answer is ATry filling in the blank without reading the answer choices. What kinds of words would fit? Words like complete, thorough, or extensive could all fit. Now look at the answer choices. "Comprehensive' is very similar to the words suggested, and none of the other choices fits at all.4.The correct answer is DThis very principled politician would rather be unpopular than compromise, or accept changes in, her ideals.5.The correct answer is BChoice (B) is correct. Since the reviewer is openly favoring the discussion of "details of the authors life,' or "biographical matters,' she is clearly "in open defiance of' current practice, which "eschews,' or shuns, speaking of such things.6.The correct answer is CThe structure of the sentence sets up a contrast between two ways of describing the lecturer. The fact that she had a charismatic, or magnetic, presence, does indeed contrast with the notion that the content of the lecture was unsophisticated and "vapid' or uninteresting7.The correct answer is AChoice (A) is correct. It makes sense that the senator, in light of his and his colleagues shared history ofnon-cooperation, would consider the colleagues assurances "fatuous,' or complacently foolish.以上就是这七道SAT填空题学习题的全部内容,后面附有具体的答案解析。
