Sample Secondary 4 Mathematics—Technical and Scientific Option Ministerial Examination — Québec Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Secondary 4 Mathematics—Technical and Scientific Option Ministerial Examination — Québec exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1What are the coordinates of the vertex of the parabola defined by the quadratic function f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 + 5?
A.(3, 5)
B.(-3, 5)
C.(3, -5)
D.(-3, -5)
Explanation: In vertex form f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k, the vertex is (h, k). For f(x) = 2(x - 3)^2 + 5, h = 3 and k = 5, so the vertex is (3, 5).
2Determine the y-intercept of the quadratic function f(x) = -3(x + 1)^2 + 12.
A.12
B.9
C.0
D.-3
Explanation: The y-intercept occurs where x = 0. Substituting x = 0 yields f(0) = -3(0 + 1)^2 + 12 = -3(1) + 12 = 9.
3Evaluate the greatest integer (step) function f(x) = [x] at x = -2.4.
A.-2
B.-3
C.-2.4
D.2
Explanation: The greatest integer function [x] returns the greatest integer less than or equal to x. For x = -2.4, the greatest integer less than or equal to -2.4 is -3.
4What is the domain of the square root function f(x) = √(x - 4) + 2?
A.[4, ∞)
B.(-∞, 4]
C.[2, ∞)
D.(-∞, ∞)
Explanation: The expression inside the square root must be non-negative: x - 4 ≥ 0, which means x ≥ 4. Therefore, the domain is [4, ∞).
5What are the coordinates of the vertex (apex) of the absolute value function f(x) = 3|x - 2| + 1?
A.(-2, 1)
B.(2, 1)
C.(2, -1)
D.(3, 1)
Explanation: For an absolute value function in standard form f(x) = a|x - h| + k, the vertex is (h, k). Here h = 2 and k = 1, giving (2, 1).
6What is the inverse function f⁻¹(x) of the linear function f(x) = 4x - 8?
A.f⁻¹(x) = (x + 8) / 4
B.f⁻¹(x) = (x - 8) / 4
C.f⁻¹(x) = 8 - 4x
D.f⁻¹(x) = 4x + 8
Explanation: To find the inverse, swap x and y: x = 4y - 8. Solve for y: x + 8 = 4y => y = (x + 8) / 4.
7Evaluate the step function f(x) = 2[x - 1] + 3 at x = 3.8.
A.7
B.9
C.5
D.8
Explanation: Substitute x = 3.8: f(3.8) = 2[3.8 - 1] + 3 = 2[2.8] + 3. Since [2.8] = 2, f(3.8) = 2(2) + 3 = 7.
8What is the range of the quadratic function f(x) = -(x - 5)^2 + 9?
A.(-∞, 9]
B.[9, ∞)
C.(-∞, 5]
D.[5, ∞)
Explanation: Since a = -1 < 0, the parabola opens downward, so the maximum y-value is k = 9. The range is (-∞, 9].
9Find the zero (x-intercept) of the square root function f(x) = √(x + 9) - 5.
A.16
B.25
C.-4
D.14
Explanation: Set f(x) = 0: √(x + 9) - 5 = 0 => √(x + 9) = 5 => x + 9 = 25 => x = 16.
10Evaluate the absolute value function f(x) = -2|x + 3| + 10 at x = 1.
A.2
B.18
C.-2
D.8
Explanation: Substitute x = 1: f(1) = -2|1 + 3| + 10 = -2|4| + 10 = -8 + 10 = 2.
