Sample New Jersey NJSLA-Adaptive Math Algebra I Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your New Jersey NJSLA-Adaptive Math Algebra I exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1The expression 5p + 3 represents the total cost, in dollars, of buying p pens at $5 each plus a $3 shipping fee. What does the 3 represent in this context?
A.The cost per pen
B.The fixed shipping fee
C.The number of pens
D.The total cost
Explanation: In 5p + 3, the term 5p varies with the number of pens (variable cost) while 3 is a constant added regardless of p. It is the fixed $3 shipping fee that does not depend on how many pens are bought.
2Which expression is equivalent to 3(x - 2) + 4x?
A.7x - 6
B.7x - 2
C.7x + 2
D.3x - 6
Explanation: Distribute first: 3(x - 2) = 3x - 6. Then combine the x-terms: 3x + 4x = 7x. The simplified expression is 7x - 6.
3Which expression is equivalent to x^2 - 49?
A.(x - 7)^2
B.(x - 7)(x + 7)
C.(x - 7)(x - 7)
D.(x + 7)^2
Explanation: x^2 - 49 is a difference of squares of the form a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b), with a = x and b = 7. So x^2 - 49 = (x - 7)(x + 7).
4Which expression is equivalent to x^4 - y^4?
A.(x^2 - y^2)(x^2 + y^2)
B.(x - y)^4
C.(x^2 - y^2)^2
D.(x + y)^2(x - y)^2
Explanation: Viewing x^4 - y^4 as (x^2)^2 - (y^2)^2, it is a difference of squares: (x^2 - y^2)(x^2 + y^2). The first factor can factor further into (x - y)(x + y), but the listed form is already a valid equivalent.
5The function f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 6 is written in factored form as (x - 2)(x - 3). What are the zeros of f?
A.x = 2 and x = 3
B.x = -2 and x = -3
C.x = 5 and x = 6
D.x = 6 and x = -1
Explanation: In factored form (x - 2)(x - 3), the function equals zero when either factor is zero: x - 2 = 0 gives x = 2, and x - 3 = 0 gives x = 3. So the zeros are x = 2 and x = 3.
6Which equivalent form of f(x) = x^2 - 6x + 10 reveals the minimum value of the function?
A.(x - 3)^2 + 1
B.(x + 3)^2 + 1
C.(x - 3)^2 + 19
D.(x - 6)^2 - 26
Explanation: Complete the square: x^2 - 6x + 10 = (x^2 - 6x + 9) - 9 + 10 = (x - 3)^2 + 1. Since a square is never negative, the minimum occurs at x = 3 with value 1, so the vertex form (x - 3)^2 + 1 reveals the minimum.
7Which expression is equivalent to (x^3)^4?
A.x^7
B.x^12
C.x^81
D.4x^3
Explanation: When a power is raised to another power, multiply the exponents: (x^3)^4 = x^(3*4) = x^12.
8An amount grows according to P(t) = 500(1.04)^t. Which equivalent expression most directly shows the annual percent increase?
A.500(1 + 0.04)^t
B.500(0.04)^t
C.500 + 500(0.04)^t
D.500(1.04t)
Explanation: Writing the base 1.04 as 1 + 0.04 makes the 4% growth rate explicit: each year the amount is 104% of the previous year, i.e., 4% more. So 500(1.04)^t = 500(1 + 0.04)^t.
9Which expression is equivalent to 6x^2 + 9x?
A.3x(2x + 3)
B.3(2x^2 + 3x)
C.3x(2x + 9)
D.6x(x + 9)
Explanation: The greatest common factor of 6x^2 and 9x is 3x. Factoring it out gives 3x(2x + 3), since 3x * 2x = 6x^2 and 3x * 3 = 9x.
10Which expression is equivalent to x^2 + 10x + 25?
A.(x + 5)^2
B.(x - 5)^2
C.(x + 10)^2
D.(x + 5)(x - 5)
Explanation: x^2 + 10x + 25 is a perfect square trinomial: the first and last terms are x^2 and 5^2, and the middle term 10x equals 2 * x * 5. So it factors as (x + 5)^2.

New Jersey NJSLA-Adaptive Math Algebra I Study Tips from Top Performers

1Distribute the negative sign carefully when subtracting polynomials term by term.
2Factor quadratics by first multiplying the leading coefficient by the constant, then find the factor pair that sums to the middle term.
3Check a proposed solution by substituting it back into the original equation.
4Identify a function's key features (intercepts, max/min, end behavior) from its graph before calculating.
5Tell linear from exponential growth by checking whether the graph curves upward or grows by a constant slope.
