This Test Bank for Precalculus, 8th Edition by Robert F. Blitzer provides a comprehensive set of multiple choice questions and verified answer keys covering Chapter 2: Polynomial and Rational Functions. The document includes complete question sets with four answer options (A–D) and a full answer key, organized across all major chapter sections: Complex Numbers (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing complex numbers, operations with square roots of negative numbers, and solving quadratic equations with complex imaginary solutions); Quadratic Functions (recognizing characteristics of parabolas, graphing parabolas, determining minimum and maximum values, and solving applied problems); Polynomial Functions and Their Graphs (identifying polynomial functions, recognizing graph characteristics, determining end behavior using the Leading Coefficient Test, using factoring and the Intermediate Value Theorem to find zeros, identifying zeros and their multiplicities, and graphing polynomial functions); Dividing Polynomials (long division, synthetic division, Remainder Theorem, and Factor Theorem); Zeros of Polynomial Functions (Rational Zero Theorem, finding zeros, solving polynomial equations, Linear Factorization Theorem, and Descartes's Rule of Signs); Rational Functions and Their Graphs (domains, arrow notation, vertical and horizontal asymptotes, transformations, graphing rational functions, and slant asymptotes); Polynomial and Rational Inequalities (solving and graphing solution sets in interval notation); and Modeling Using Variation (direct, inverse, combined, and joint variation problems). This Test Bank is an essential study resource for students preparing for exams, reviewing chapter material, practicing problem-solving, and reinforcing core precalculus concepts. All questions and answer keys are directly from the uploaded document, providing accurate and reliable practice for mastering polynomial and rational functions.

Complex numbers are used in electronics to describe the current in an electric
circuit. Ohm’s law relates the current
in a circuit, I, in amperes, the voltage of the circuit, E, in volts, and the
resistance of the circuit, R, in ohms, by the
formula E = IR. Solve the problem using this formula.
11) Find E, the voltage of a circuit, if I = (8 + 9i) amperes and R = (4 + 7i)
ohms.
A) (-31 + 92i) volts B) (-31 – 92i) volts C) (92 – 31i) volts D) (92 + 31i) volts
12) Find E, the voltage of a circuit, if I = (18 + i) amperes and R = (2 + 3i)
ohms.
A) (33 + 56i) volts B) (33 – 56i) volts C) (-18 + 56i) volts D) (-18 – 56i) volts
3 Divide Complex Numbers
