1What is the discriminant of the quadratic equation 2x² - 5x + 3 = 0?
A.1
B.-1
C.49
D.13
Explanation: The discriminant is calculated using Δ = b² - 4ac. Substituting a = 2, b = -5, and c = 3 gives Δ = (-5)² - 4(2)(3) = 25 - 24 = 1. A positive discriminant indicates two distinct real roots.
2What is the value of log₂ (32)?
A.4
B.5
C.6
D.16
Explanation: By definition, log_b(a) = c means b^c = a. Since 2^5 = 32, log₂(32) = 5.
3What is the domain of the real-valued function f(x) = √(x - 4)?
A.x ≥ 4
B.x > 4
C.x ≤ 4
D.All real numbers
Explanation: For a real-valued square root function, the expression inside the radical must be non-negative. Solving x - 4 ≥ 0 gives x ≥ 4.
4Given f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x², what is the value of the composite function f(g(3))?
A.21
B.81
C.15
D.45
Explanation: First evaluate g(3) = 3² = 9. Then substitute 9 into f(x) to obtain f(9) = 2(9) + 3 = 18 + 3 = 21.
5In a right-angled triangle, the side opposite to angle θ is 6 cm and the adjacent side is 8 cm. What is tan(θ)?
A.0.6
B.0.75
C.0.8
D.1.33
Explanation: The tangent ratio is defined as opposite / adjacent. Therefore, tan(θ) = 6 / 8 = 3 / 4 = 0.75.
6Convert an angle of 120° into radians.
A.π/3
B.2π/3
C.3π/4
D.5π/6
Explanation: To convert degrees to radians, multiply by π / 180°. So 120° × (π / 180°) = 120π / 180 = 2π/3 radians.
7What is the midpoint of the line segment joining points A(2, -4) and B(8, 6)?
A.(5, 1)
B.(3, 1)
C.(5, 5)
D.(10, 2)
Explanation: The midpoint formula is ((x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2). Substituting the coordinates yields ((2 + 8)/2, (-4 + 6)/2) = (10/2, 2/2) = (5, 1).
8Calculate the distance between points P(1, 2) and Q(4, 6).
A.3
B.4
C.5
D.7
Explanation: Using the distance formula d = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²), we get d = √((4 - 1)² + (6 - 2)²) = √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5.
9Given vectors u = <3, -2> and v = <1, 5>, find the vector sum u + v.
A.<4, 3>
B.<2, -7>
C.<3, -10>
D.<4, 7>
Explanation: Vector addition is performed component-wise: u + v = <3 + 1, -2 + 5> = <4, 3>.
10What is the magnitude of vector a = <6, -8>?
A.2
B.14
C.10
D.100
Explanation: The magnitude of a vector <x, y> is |a| = √(x² + y²). Here, |a| = √(6² + (-8)²) = √(36 + 64) = √100 = 10.
