If $A=\{a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots,a_m\}$, $B=\{b_1,b_2,b_3,\ldots,b_n\}$ and $C=\{c_1,c_2,c_3,\ldots,c_l\}$, then $A\times B\times C=\{a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots,a_m\}\times\{b_1,b_2,b_3,\ldots,b_n\}\times\{c_1,c_2,c_3,\ldots,c_l\}$. Find the cardinality of the power set of $A\times B\times C$.
Let $R$ and $F$ ($R,F\ne0$) be the roots of the equation $x^2-3x-s=0$ ($s\ne0$). If $RF$ and $R-F$ are the roots of the equation $(p+1)x^2-mx+s=0$, find the value of $p+1+m+s$.
Original choices: A. -1; B. 0; C. 1; D. 2.

The There are 16 different books to be placed on 3 labeled shelves: Shelf X, Shelf Y, and Shelf Z. The books must be arranged so that: Shelf Y holds 1 more book than Shelf X, Shelf Z holds 2 more books than Shelf Y, and each book is placed on exactly one shelf. In how many distinct ways can the books be distributed across the 3 shelves under these conditions?
The perimeter of a triangle formed by points A(1,2), B(3,−4), and C(−2,−3) is in the form $x\sqrt{2y}+\sqrt{2z}+\sqrt{2s}$. What is $x+y+z\times s$ if $y<s<z$?
The sides of a cyclic quadrilateral are 6,8,10, and 12 cm. If the area is in the form $a\sqrt b$, what is a+b? Hint! A cyclic quadrilateral is a four-sided figure (quadrilateral) in which all four vertices lie on the circumference of a single circle.
If What is the value of a+b in the binomial expansion $(ax+by)^{10}$ if the coefficient of the 3rd term of the binomial expansion of $(ax+by)^9$ is 36 and if the coefficient of the 4th term of the binomial expansion of $(ax+by)^9$ is equal to 84?
Three The quadrilateral PHIL below is a rectangle. B is the midpoint of side PH. The areas of $\triangle JAG$ and $\triangle CID$ are 60 cm² and 20 cm², respectively. The areas of quadrilaterals FECH and JEDL are 420 cm² and 480 cm², respectively. Find the area of $\triangle BFG$.
Original choices: A. 20 cm²; B. 25 cm²; C. 30 cm²; D. 35 cm².

Debby walked 10m towards East, then turns to her left and walked 4m and then turns to her right and walked 3m. Then, she turned to his right again and walked 2m. Then she turned to her left and she walked 6m. Again, she turned to her left and walked 8m. Finally, she turned to her left again and walked 9m. What is the shortest distance between her final and initial position?
