If x/3 + 2 = 6, what is x?
Answer: 12
Subtract 2 to get x/3 = 4, then multiply by 3 to get x = 12.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to y = 3x - 1?
Answer: -1/3
Perpendicular slopes are negative reciprocals, so -1/3.
Factor completely: x^2 + 7x + 12.
Answer: (x + 3)(x + 4)
3 and 4 multiply to 12 and add to 7, giving (x + 3)(x + 4).
If h(x) = 4 - x^2, what is the maximum value of h(x)?
Answer: 4
The maximum occurs at x = 0, giving h(0) = 4.
Solve for x: 2x - 5 < 7.
Answer: x < 6
Add 5 then divide by 2: x < 6.
If a sequence is 3, 7, 11, 15, ..., what is the 10th term?
Answer: 39
The common difference is 4, so the 10th term is 3 + 9(4) = 39.
What is the value of (x + 2)^2 when x = 3?
Answer: 25
(3 + 2)^2 = 5^2 = 25.
