Two chords, $$\overline{MN}$$ and $$\overline{PQ}$$, intersect at point $$R$$ inside a circle. The length of segment $$MR$$ is $$8$$, the length of segment $$RN$$ is $$3$$, and the length of segment $$PR$$ is $$4$$. What is the length of segment $$RQ$$?
- $$4$$
- $$5$$

- $$8$$
A ladder is leaning against a vertical wall. The top of the ladder reaches a height of $$12$$ feet on the wall from the ground. The base of the ladder is $$5$$ feet away from the wall. What is the measure of the angle, to the nearest degree, that the ladder makes with the ground?
- $$67^\circ$$
- $$60^\circ$$
- $$52^\circ$$
- $$45^\circ$$

- $540
- $550
- $600
- $450
The equation $$m(x-2)+4x=8x+2n$$ where $$m$$ and $$n$$ are constants, has infinitely many solutions for $$x$$. What is the value of $$m+n$$?
- $$10$$
- $$12$$
- $$16$$

A survey was conducted among a random sample of $$1,000$$ residents of a city to determine whether they support a proposed park. Based on the survey, it was estimated that $$62\%$$ of the city's residents support the proposal, with an associated margin of error of $$4\%$$. Which of the following is the most appropriate conclusion?
- It is plausible that exactly $$62\%$$ of the city's residents support the proposal.
- It is plausible that between $$58\%$$ and $$66\%$$ of the city's residents support the proposal.
- It is plausible that fewer than $$58\%$$ of the city's residents support the proposal.
- The survey results are invalid because only $$1,000$$ residents were surveyed.
A survey was conducted among $$300$$ students regarding participation in school clubs. $$120$$ students participate in the Science Club. $$90$$ students participate in the Math Club. $$45$$ students participate in both clubs. If a student is chosen at random from those who participate in the Science Club, what is the probability that the student also participates in the Math Club?
- $$\frac{3}{8}$$
- $$\frac{1}{4}$$
- $$\frac{3}{10}$$
- $$\frac{1}{2}$$

- $$8x+6y=100$$
- $$6x+8y=100$$
- $$8x-6y=28$$
- $$6x-8y=0$$
The graph of the function $$f$$ is shown in the $$xy$$-plane. The function $$f$$ is defined by $$f(x)=ax^2+bx+c$$, where $$a$$, $$b$$, and $$c$$ are constants. Based on the graph, what is the minimum value of $$f(x)$$?

The graph of a linear function $$f$$ passes through the point $$(-2,5)$$. If the $$x$$-intercept of the graph of $$f$$ is the same as the $$y$$-intercept of the line with equation $$y=-3x+6$$, what is the value of $$f(7)$$?
- $$-7$$
- $$-\frac{5}{8}$$
- $$1$$
- $$5$$
