What is the perimeter of a rectangle with length 2x and width 3x?
8x
5x
10x
6x
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2×(length + width). Here, 2×(2x + 3x) = 2×5x = 10x, so 10x is the correct perimeter.
If a line segment is divided into lengths x + 1 and 2x - 1 and the total is 9, what is x?
2
3
4
5
The sum is (x + 1) + (2x - 1) = 3x. Setting 3x = 9 gives x = 3, so that is the correct value.
Evaluate f(x) = 2x² when x = 2.
4
6
8
10
Substitute x = 2 into 2x²: 2 × (2)² = 2 × 4 = 8, making 8 the correct result.
What is the midpoint of the segment connecting (0, 0) and (4, 2)?
(2, 1)
(1, 2)
(4, 1)
(0, 2)
The midpoint formula averages coordinates: ((0+4)/2, (0+2)/2) = (2, 1), so that is correct.
Find the slope of the line through points (1, 2) and (3, 6).
1
2
3
4
Slope = (6 - 2)/(3 - 1) = 4/2 = 2, so 2 is the correct slope.
In a triangle, two angles are 2x° and 3x°, and the third is 50°. What is x?
20
25
26
30
The angles sum to 180: 2x + 3x + 50 = 180 ⇒ 5x = 130 ⇒ x = 26, so 26 is correct.
What is the equation of the line perpendicular to y = 2x + 3 passing through (1, 4)?
y = -2x + 6
y = -1/2 x + 9/2
y = 1/2 x + 4
y = 2x - 1
A perpendicular slope is -1/2. Using point-slope: y − 4 = -1/2(x − 1) ⇒ y = -1/2 x + 9/2, which is correct.
Factor the expression x² − 9.
(x − 3)(x + 3)
(x − 9)(x + 1)
(x − 1)(x + 9)
(x − 4.5)(x + 2)
x² − 9 is a difference of squares: x² − 3² = (x − 3)(x + 3), so that is correct.
What is the area of the triangle with vertices (0,0), (4,0), and (4,3)?
6
12
7
24
The base is 4 and height is 3, so area = ½ × 4 × 3 = 6, making 6 correct.
Is the function f(x) = x² − 4x + 4 increasing or decreasing at x = 3?
Increasing
Decreasing
Constant
Not defined
The derivative is 2x − 4; at x = 3, f' = 2(3) − 4 = 2 > 0, so the function is increasing there.
Calculate the distance between (1, 1) and (4, 5).
4
5
6
7
Distance = √[(4−1)² + (5−1)²] = √[9 + 16] = √25 = 5, so 5 is correct.
What type of triangle has side lengths 5, 12, and 13?
Isosceles
Right
Equilateral
Scalene
Since 5² + 12² = 25 + 144 = 169 = 13², the triangle satisfies the Pythagorean theorem and is right-angled.
In a convex pentagon, interior angles are x+20, x+40, x+60, x+80, and x+100 degrees. What is x?
40
48
50
60
Sum = (5−2)×180 = 540. Summing angles gives 5x + 300 = 540 ⇒ 5x = 240 ⇒ x = 48, so 48 is correct.
Find the vertex of the parabola y = x² − 6x + 5.
(3, -4)
(2, -3)
(3, 5)
(6, -1)
The vertex is at x = −b/(2a) = 6/2 = 3; y(3) = 9 − 18 + 5 = −4, so (3, −4) is correct.
Are the lines y = 2x + 1 and 4x − 2y + 3 = 0 parallel, perpendicular, or neither?
Parallel
Perpendicular
Neither
Coincident
Rewriting 4x − 2y + 3 = 0 gives y = 2x + 1.5. Both lines have slope 2 but different intercepts, so they are parallel.
In a cyclic quadrilateral, two opposite angles measure 3x° and 5x + 30°. Find x.
18.75
20
15
12
Opposite angles in a cyclic quadrilateral sum to 180°: 3x + 5x + 30 = 180 ⇒ 8x = 150 ⇒ x = 18.75.
Find the equation of the circle whose center lies on the x-axis and passes through (3, 4) and (−3, 4).
x² + y² = 25
(x − 3)² + y² = 25
x² + (y − 4)² = 25
x² + y² = 34
Symmetry shows the center is (0,0) on the x-axis. Radius² = 3² + 4² = 25, so the circle is x² + y² = 25.
What is the equation of the parabola with vertex (2, -3) and focus (2, -1)?
(x − 2)² = 8(y + 3)
(y + 3)² = 8(x − 2)
(x + 2)² = 4(y − 1)
(y − 1)² = 4(x + 2)
Focus is 2 units above vertex, so p = 2 and 4p = 8. The axis is vertical, yielding (x−2)²=8(y+3).
Find the coordinates of the centroid of the triangle with vertices (0,0), (4,0), and (0,6).
(4/3, 2)
(2, 3)
(4, 6)
(1, 1)
The centroid is the average of the vertices: ((0+4+0)/3, (0+0+6)/3) = (4/3, 2), so that is correct.
For rectangle ABCD with A(0,0), B(6,0), C(6,4), D(0,4), what is the intersection point of its diagonals?
(3, 2)
(6, 4)
(0, 0)
(2, 3)
The diagonals meet at their midpoints: midpoint of A(0,0) and C(6,4) is ((0+6)/2, (0+4)/2) = (3,2), which is correct.
