1Factor the polynomial completely over the real numbers: P(x) = x³ - 3x² - 4x + 12.
A.(x - 3)(x² + 4)
B.(x + 3)(x - 2)(x + 2)
C.(x - 3)(x - 2)(x + 2)
D.(x - 1)(x - 3)(x + 4)
Explanation: Grouping terms gives x²(x - 3) - 4(x - 3) = (x² - 4)(x - 3). Applying the difference of two squares to (x² - 4) produces (x - 2)(x + 2)(x - 3).
2Simplify the complex rational expression for all x such that x ≠ 2 and x ≠ -2: [ (1 / (x + 2)) - (1 / (x - 2)) ] / [ 4 / (x² - 4) ].
A.1
B.-1
C.-4 / (x - 2)
D.2x / (x² - 4)
Explanation: Finding a common denominator in the numerator yields [(x - 2) - (x + 2)] / (x² - 4) = -4 / (x² - 4). Dividing this by 4 / (x² - 4) is equivalent to multiplying by (x² - 4) / 4, which simplifies directly to -4 / 4 = -1.
3Rationalize the denominator of the fraction and express it in simplest radical form: 6 / (√7 - 1).
A.√7 + 1
B.√7 - 1
C.(√7 + 1) / 6
D.6√7 + 6
Explanation: Multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate (√7 + 1) gives 6(√7 + 1) / [(√7)² - 1²] = 6(√7 + 1) / (7 - 1) = 6(√7 + 1) / 6 = √7 + 1.
4Determine the sum of all valid real solutions to the equation: |2x - 5| = 3x - 10.
A.3
B.5
C.8
D.No real solution
Explanation: Solving 2x - 5 = 3x - 10 gives x = 5. Checking x = 5 yields |5| = 5, which is valid. Solving -(2x - 5) = 3x - 10 gives 5x = 15, or x = 3; however, checking x = 3 yields |1| = -1, which is extraneous because absolute values cannot equal negative numbers. Thus, x = 5 is the sole solution.
5Let r and s be the roots of the quadratic equation 2x² - 6x + 1 = 0. Find the numerical value of (1 / r) + (1 / s).
A.3
B.1/3
C.6
D.1/6
Explanation: By Vieta's formulas, the sum of roots is r + s = -(-6)/2 = 3, and the product of roots is rs = 1/2. Combining fractions gives (1 / r) + (1 / s) = (r + s) / (rs) = 3 / (1/2) = 6.
6The three roots of the cubic equation x³ - 9x² + 23x - 15 = 0 form an arithmetic progression. What is the value of the largest root?
A.5
B.3
C.7
D.1
Explanation: Let the roots in arithmetic progression be a - d, a, and a + d. By Vieta's formulas, their sum is 3a = 9, which implies a = 3. The product of roots is (3 - d)(3)(3 + d) = 15, leading to 9 - d² = 5, or d² = 4 (d = 2). Thus, the roots are 1, 3, and 5, with the largest root being 5.
7When the polynomial P(x) = 3x⁴ - 2x³ + x - 5 is divided by x - 1 using synthetic division, what is the coefficient of x² in the resulting quotient?
A.3
B.-2
C.0
D.1
Explanation: Writing the coefficients of P(x) including the missing degree-two term gives [3, -2, 0, 1, -5]. Performing synthetic division with 1: bring down 3; 3(1) + (-2) = 1; 1(1) + 0 = 1; 1(1) + 1 = 2. The quotient polynomial is 3x³ + 1x² + 1x + 2, meaning the coefficient of x² is 1.
8For f(x) = (x^2 + 1)/(x - 1), what is f'(2)?
A.4
B.-1
C.1
D.9
Explanation: The quotient rule gives f'(x) = [2x(x - 1) - (x^2 + 1)]/(x - 1)^2. At x = 2 this is (4 - 5)/1 = -1. The subtraction applies to the whole numerator x^2 + 1.
9Determine the value of z in the system of linear equations: x + y + z = 6 2x - y + z = 3 x + 2y - z = 2
A.3
B.1
C.2
D.4
Explanation: Adding the first and third equations eliminates z, giving 2x + 3y = 8. Adding the first and second equations gives 3x + 2z = 9. From the first equation, z = 6 - x - y; substituting into the second equation gives x - 2y = -3. Solving the 2x2 system {2x + 3y = 8, x - 2y = -3} yields y = 2 and x = 1. Finally, z = 6 - 1 - 2 = 3.
10Find the product xy for non-zero real numbers satisfying the reciprocal system: (2 / x) + (3 / y) = 8 and (5 / x) - (1 / y) = 3.
A.2
B.1
C.1/4
D.1/2
Explanation: Let u = 1/x and v = 1/y. The linear system is 2u + 3v = 8 and 5u - v = 3. Multiplying the second equation by 3 yields 15u - 3v = 9. Adding the equations produces 17u = 17, so u = 1, giving x = 1. Substituting u = 1 into 2(1) + 3v = 8 gives 3v = 6, so v = 2, giving y = 1/2. Thus, xy = 1 · (1/2) = 1/2.

About the FIUNA Admission Exam

Independent practice for FIUNA A-CPI mathematics and published CPI algebra, geometry/vector, and physics topics. A-CPI is a standalone Spanish MCQ selection examination without a prior FIUNA course. The subsequent CPI is compulsory and assesses written worked solutions. This bank is an English-language, four-option MCQ study adaptation, not an official translation or format simulation, and does not substitute for writing complete solutions, compulsory attendance, or course assessment.

Exam sponsor: Universidad Nacional de Asunción — Facultad de Ingeniería. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does passing A-CPI provide?

It provides access to CPI, not final admission to an engineering degree. A-CPI evaluates arithmetic/algebra and geometry/trigonometry in two papers. The normal selection threshold is 60% aggregate with ranking; the regulation permits progressive vacancy-filling thresholds down to 50%. Its score does not carry into CPI.

What must CPI students complete?

CPI requires 80% attendance in each subject. Two partial examinations carry 10% and 20%, and the final carries 70%. Assessment is by written worked responses with credit for the solution process. Final admission requires subject minimums, the overall mean, and a place in the ranking. No separate oral or laboratory entrance examination was identified.

Is Chemistry part of this admission scope?

The published CPI subjects are Álgebra y Pre-Cálculo, Geometría y Vectores, and Física. Chemistry is not listed. Use the current applicant guide and permitted-calculator list for each paper.
