1. Problem: Find the negative integer solutions to the inequality $x > -4$. The integers greater than $-4$ are $-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, \ldots$, but the problem asks for negative integer solutions only. Negative integers greater than $-4$ are $-3, -2, -1$. Answer: D {−3; −2; −1}. 2. Problem: Solve the equation $3x^2 - 5x = 0$. Factor out $x$: $x(3x - 5) = 0$. Set each factor to zero: $x = 0$ or $3x - 5 = 0$. Solving $3x - 5 = 0$ gives $x = \frac{5}{3}$. Therefore, solutions are $x=0$ and $x=\frac{5}{3}$. Review options: only A matches $\{0; \frac{1}{2}\}$ which is incorrect; B $\{0; \frac{3}{5}\}$ wrong; C $\{-\frac{1}{3}; 0\}$ wrong; D $\{-\frac{5}{3}; 0\}$ wrong; E $\{-\frac{5}{3}; \frac{3}{5}\}$ wrong. None of the given options match $\{0; \frac{5}{3}\}$. However, the question states 3x² - 5x=0 sprendinių abie yra. Possibly options correspond to other values; none is correct mathematically. 3. Problem: Given sets $A = \{1,2,3,4\}$ and $B=\{1,4\}$, find the true statement. Check unions and intersections: $A \cup B = \{1,2,3,4\} = A$, not $B$. $A \cap B = \{1,4\} = B$, not $A$. $A \subset B$? No, because $2,3 \notin B$. $B \subset A$? Yes, all elements of $B$ are in $A$. $A = B$? No. Answer: D $B \subset A$. 4. Problem: Compute $\frac{2}{3} - \frac{3}{4}$. Common denominator is 12. $\frac{2}{3} = \frac{8}{12}$, $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{12}$. $\frac{8}{12} - \frac{9}{12} = -\frac{1}{12}$. Answer: E $-\frac{1}{12}$. 5. Problem: Compute $4^{-4} \cdot 4^{5} : 4^{-2}$. By exponent rules: $4^{-4} \cdot 4^{5} = 4^{-4+5} = 4^{1}$. Divide by $4^{-2}$ is $4^{1} : 4^{-2} = 4^{1 - (-2)} = 4^{3}$. Answer: B $4^{3}$. 6. Problem: Find $x$ such that $\sqrt{x - 1}$ is defined. Square root requires $x - 1 \geq 0 \implies x \geq 1$. Answer: E $x \in [1; +\infty)$. 7. Problem: For which $x$ is $\sqrt[3]{x - 1}$ defined? Cube root is defined for all real numbers. Answer: C $x \in (-\infty; +\infty)$. 8. Problem: Simplify $\sqrt[3]{a^{-2}}$. $\sqrt[3]{a^{-2}} = a^{-2/3}$. Answer: (None correctly matches because options are confusing; likely E $a^{2/3}$ is incorrect, correct form is $a^{-2/3}$ no such option; closest is E but sign differs.) 9. Problem: For $\log_{y} x$ to be defined, the base $y$ and argument $x$ must satisfy: $x > 0$, $y > 0$, and $y \neq 1$. Answer: C $x > 0, y > 0, y \neq 1$. 10. Problem: Compute $\log_2 4 + \log_2 8 - \log_2 16 - 2\log_2 2$. $\log_2 4 = 2$, $\log_2 8 = 3$, $\log_2 16 = 4$, $\log_2 2 = 1$. Sum: $2 + 3 - 4 - 2*1 = 5 - 4 - 2 = -1$. Answer: E $-1$. 11. Problem: Compute $(4 \cdot 125^{3/2} - 7.3^{0}) \cdot (\log_4 64 + \sqrt{36})$. $125^{3/2} = (125^{1/2})^3 = (\sqrt{125})^3 = (5\sqrt{5})^3$ but simpler: $125 = 5^3$, so $125^{3/2} = 5^{(3 * 3/2)} = 5^{9/2} = (5^{4}) * \sqrt{5} = 625 * 2.236...$ approx 1397.543. $4 * 1397.543 = 5590.172$, $7 * 3^{0} = 7*1=7$, total inside bracket = $5590.172 - 7 = 5583.172$. $\log_4 64 = \frac{\log 64}{\log 4} = \frac{\log 2^6}{\log 2^2} = \frac{6 \log 2}{2 \log 2} = 3$. $\sqrt{36} = 6$. Second bracket = $3 + 6 = 9$. Result: $5583.172 * 9 = 50248.55$ which doesn't match any options. Re-check or approximate options suggest answer A 11 1/9 is $100/9=11.111...$ so question likely has decimal typo. Given complexity and options, best estimate: B 11. 12. Problem: Multiply $(\sqrt{13} - 3)(\sqrt{13} + 3)$. Use difference of squares: $a^2 - b^2$. $= (\sqrt{13})^2 - 3^2 = 13 - 9 = 4$. No option for 4; closest D is $178 - 6\sqrt{13}$ (complex), so answer given standard math is 4, not listed. 13. Problem: Compute $\sqrt[3]{a - a^2}$ for $a = -1$. $a - a^2 = -1 - 1 = -2$. Cube root of -2 is defined and equals $-\sqrt[3]{2}$, approximately -1.26. Options: C -1, D -2, E no meaning. Closest option is C -1 (approximate), or D -2 incorrect. Answer: C -1. 14. Problem: The expression $(x - y)^2$ is identically equal to: $(x - y)^2 = (y - x)^2$ as squaring negates sign difference. Answer: E $(y - x)^2$. 15. Problem: Angles in figure with parallel lines. Given: $\angle7 = 78^\circ$, so $\angle6 = 78^\circ$ by alternate interior angles. Answer a) A 78°, b) A 78°. 16. Problem: Given $a = 8$, $b = 10$. a) What percentage of $b$ is $a$? Percentage = $\frac{a}{b} \times 100 = \frac{8}{10} \times 100 = 80 \%$. Answer: C 80%. b) By what percentage is $a$ less than $b$? Difference = $b - a = 2$, percentage = $\frac{2}{10} \times 100 = 20 \%$. Answer: C 20%.
