Sample SISC Mathematics Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the SISC Mathematics exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1After expanding and simplifying (x + 4)(x - 2) - x^2, what is the coefficient of x?
A.2
B.6
C.-2
D.-8
Explanation: Expanding the product gives x^2 + 2x - 8. Subtracting x^2 leaves 2x - 8, whose coefficient of x is 2; the constant term is -8.
2Factorise completely the expression 6x^2 - 15x.
A.3(2x^2 - 5x)
B.3x(2x - 5)
C.6x(x - 15)
D.3x(2x + 5)
Explanation: The highest common factor of 6x^2 and 15x is 3x. Dividing each term by 3x gives 6x^2 / (3x) = 2x and -15x / (3x) = -5, so 6x^2 - 15x = 3x(2x - 5).
3A rectangle has perimeter P = 2L + 2W. If P = 36 cm and W = 6 cm, what is its length L?
A.6 cm
B.24 cm
C.12 cm
D.18 cm
Explanation: Substitute the given values: 36 = 2L + 12. Subtract 12 and divide by 2 to obtain L = 12 cm; checking gives 2(12) + 2(6) = 36 cm.
4What are the gradient and the y-intercept of the straight line 3x + 2y = 12?
A.Gradient = 3, y-intercept = (0, 12)
B.Gradient = 1.5, y-intercept = (0, 6)
C.Gradient = -3, y-intercept = (0, 6)
D.Gradient = -1.5, y-intercept = (0, 6)
Explanation: Rearrange 3x + 2y = 12 into gradient-intercept form y = mx + c: subtract 3x from both sides to get 2y = -3x + 12, then divide every term by 2 to obtain y = -1.5x + 6. The gradient m is -1.5 and the y-intercept is (0, 6).
5Find the coordinates of the midpoint of the line segment joining A(-4, 7) and B(8, -3).
A.(2, 2)
B.(6, -5)
C.(4, 4)
D.(-6, 5)
Explanation: Using the midpoint formula M = ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2), we get M = ((-4 + 8) / 2, (7 + (-3)) / 2) = (4 / 2, 4 / 2) = (2, 2).
6Solve the linear inequality 7 - 3x >= 19.
A.x >= -4
B.x <= -4
C.x <= -26/3
D.x >= 4
Explanation: Subtract 7 from both sides to obtain -3x >= 12. Divide both sides by -3 and reverse the inequality sign (because we are dividing by a negative number) to get x <= -4.
7Simplify the expression (2x^3 y^2)^3 / (4x^5 y), where x and y are nonzero.
A.1.5x^4 y^5
B.2x^14 y^7
C.2x^4 y^5
D.2x^2 y^5
Explanation: First apply the power of 3 to the numerator: (2x^3 y^2)^3 = 2^3 x^(3*3) y^(2*3) = 8x^9 y^6. Now divide by 4x^5 y: (8 / 4) x^(9 - 5) y^(6 - 1) = 2x^4 y^5.
8Factorise completely 9x^2 - 49y^2.
A.(9x - 7y)(x + 7y)
B.(3x - 7y)^2
C.(3x - 49y)(3x + y)
D.(3x - 7y)(3x + 7y)
Explanation: The expression 9x^2 - 49y^2 is a difference of two squares, (3x)^2 - (7y)^2. Using a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b), it factorises to (3x - 7y)(3x + 7y).
9Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept of the line 4x - 5y = 20.
A.x-intercept (5, 0) and y-intercept (0, -4)
B.x-intercept (-4, 0) and y-intercept (0, 5)
C.x-intercept (5, 0) and y-intercept (0, 4)
D.x-intercept (4, 0) and y-intercept (0, -5)
Explanation: At the x-intercept, y = 0, so 4x = 20 and x = 5, giving (5, 0). At the y-intercept, x = 0, so -5y = 20 and y = -4, giving (0, -4).
10Evaluate (27 / 8)^(-2/3) as a fraction in simplest form.
A.9/4
B.4/9
C.-4/9
D.18/8
Explanation: A negative exponent inverts the base fraction: (27 / 8)^(-2/3) = (8 / 27)^(2/3). Taking the cube root first gives (8^(1/3) / 27^(1/3))^2 = (2 / 3)^2 = 4/9.

About the SISC Mathematics Exam
