The vertical line test determines whether a graph is:
Answer: A function
The vertical line test checks if any vertical line intersects the graph more than once; if not, it is a function.
Solve for y: 7y = 49
Answer: y = 7
Divide both sides by 7 to get y = 7.
What is the product of the roots of 2x² - 6x + 4 = 0?
Answer: 2
By Vieta's formulas, the product of roots = c/a = 4/2 = 2.
What is √144?
Answer: 12
12 × 12 = 144, so √144 = 12.
Multiply: (x + 3)(x - 2).
Answer: x² + x - 6
Use FOIL: x² - 2x + 3x - 6 = x² + x - 6.
What is the value of (-8)^(1/3)?
Answer: -2
(-8)^(1/3) is the cube root of -8; since (-2)³ = -8, the answer is -2.
Subtract: (4x² - 3x + 2) - (x² + 2x - 5).
Answer: 3x² - 5x + 7
Distribute the negative: 4x² - 3x + 2 - x² - 2x + 5 = 3x² - 5x + 7.
A consistent dependent system has:
Answer: Infinitely many solutions
A consistent dependent system represents the same line, giving infinitely many solutions.
Solve: x + 5 > 9
Answer: x > 4
Subtract 5 from both sides to get x > 4.
Solve: |x - 2| > 3
Answer: x > 5 or x < -1
|x - 2| > 3 means x - 2 > 3 or x - 2 5 or x < -1.
Which function graphs as a straight line?
Answer: f(x) = 2x + 1
f(x) = 2x + 1 is a linear function and graphs as a straight line.
Solve x² + 2x - 15 = 0 by factoring.
Answer: x = 3 and x = -5
Factor as (x + 5)(x - 3) = 0, giving x = 3 and x = -5.
Factor out the GCF: 6x³ + 9x².
Answer: 3x²(2x + 3)
The GCF of 6x³ and 9x² is 3x², giving 3x²(2x + 3).
What notation means 'f composed with g'?
Answer: f ∘ g
Function composition is written f ∘ g, meaning f(g(x)).
What is the GCF of 12x³ and 8x²?
Answer: 4x²
The GCF of 12 and 8 is 4, and the GCF of x³ and x² is x², giving 4x².
If f(x) = 3x - 2, what is f(4)?
Answer: 10
f(4) = 3(4) - 2 = 10.
Solve: 5 - 2x < 1
Answer: x > 2
Subtract 5: -2x 2.
What are the solutions to x² - 5x + 6 = 0?
Answer: x = 2 and x = 3
Factor as (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, giving x = 2 and x = 3.
Rationalize the denominator of 1/√5.
Answer: √5/5
Multiply by √5/√5: (1 · √5)/(√5 · √5) = √5/5.
Solve for x: 5(x - 2) = 15
Answer: x = 5
Divide both sides by 5 to get x - 2 = 3, then add 2 to get x = 5.
