Paper art illustrating a trivia quiz for high school mathematics students, titled Chapter 11 Challenge.

Solve the equation: 2x + 5 = 13. What is the value of x?
3
4
5
6
Subtract 5 from both sides to obtain 2x = 8, and then divide by 2 to find x = 4. This step-by-step process is fundamental in solving linear equations.
What is the value of 3(2 + 4)?
12
15
18
9
First, evaluate the expression inside the parentheses: 2 + 4 = 6. Then, multiply by 3 to get 18, following the order of operations.
Find the slope of the line passing through the points (1, 2) and (3, 6).
1
2
3
4
The slope is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x: (6 - 2) / (3 - 1) equals 2. This is a basic application of the slope formula.
What is the area of a triangle with a base of 8 and a height of 5?
20
40
10
16
Use the formula for the area of a triangle, which is (1/2) x base x height. Substituting the values gives (1/2) x 8 x 5 = 20.
What is the probability of getting heads when flipping a fair coin?
1/2
1/3
1
0
A fair coin has two equally likely outcomes, so the probability of landing on heads is 1 out of 2, which is 1/2. This is a fundamental concept in probability.
Factor the expression x² - 9.
(x - 3)(x + 3)
(x - 9)(x + 1)
(x + 3)²
(x - 3)²
The expression x² - 9 is a difference of squares, which factors into (x - 3)(x + 3). Recognizing this pattern simplifies the factoring process.
Solve the system of equations: 2x + y = 7 and x - y = 1.
(8/3, 5/3)
(2, 3)
(3, 2)
(7/3, 8/3)
Solve the second equation for y (y = x - 1) and substitute into the first equation to get 2x + (x - 1) = 7. Solving gives x = 8/3 and y = 5/3.
Simplify the expression (x² - 4) / (x + 2).
x - 2
x + 2
(x - 2)/(x + 2)
x² - 4
Factor the numerator as (x - 2)(x + 2), then cancel the common factor (x + 2) with the denominator, yielding x - 2. This is valid assuming x ≠ -2.
What is the median of the set {3, 7, 9, 15, 20}?
3
7
9
15
When the numbers are arranged in order, the median is the middle value. In this set, 9 is the third number, making it the median.
Solve the inequality: 3x - 5 > 10.
x > 5
x ≥ 5
x < 5
x = 5
Add 5 to both sides to obtain 3x > 15, then divide by 3 to find x > 5. This inequality solution shows the proper steps for isolating the variable.
Evaluate the function f(x) = x² - 4x + 3 for x = 2.
1
-1
0
2
Substitute x = 2 into the function to get 2² - 4(2) + 3, which simplifies to 4 - 8 + 3 = -1. This demonstrates proper function evaluation.
In a quadratic function that opens upwards, what does the vertex represent?
The minimum point
The maximum point
An x-intercept
A y-intercept
For a quadratic function with a positive leading coefficient, the vertex is the point where the function attains its minimum value. This is a key concept when analyzing the graph of a quadratic function.
Solve the equation |x - 3| = 5.
x = 8 or x = -2
x = 3 or x = -5
x = 5
x = -3 or x = 5
The absolute value equation leads to two cases: x - 3 = 5 and x - 3 = -5. Solving these gives x = 8 or x = -2, which are the solutions.
Calculate the value of 2³ + 3².
15
16
17
18
Compute 2³ = 8 and 3² = 9, then add them to obtain 17. This problem reinforces skills in exponentiation and basic arithmetic.
Simplify the radical expression √50.
5√2
√25
2√5
25√2
Factor 50 into 25 and 2, then simplify by knowing that √25 = 5. Thus, √50 simplifies to 5√2, a key technique in simplifying radicals.
Solve the quadratic equation x² - 5x + 6 = 0.
x = 2 or 3
x = -2 or -3
x = 1 or 6
x = 0 or 5
Factor the quadratic as (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0, then apply the zero product property to find x = 2 or x = 3. This is a standard method for solving quadratic equations.
Find the volume of a cone with radius 3 and height 4 using V = (1/3)πr²h.
12π
36π
4π
9π
Substitute r = 3 and h = 4 into the formula to obtain V = (1/3)π(3²)(4) = (1/3)π(9)(4) = 12π. This problem applies the formula for the volume of a cone.
What is the probability of obtaining a sum of 3 when rolling three fair dice?
1/216
1/36
1/18
1/6
The only way to obtain a sum of 3 with three dice is if each die shows a 1. Since there is only 1 favorable outcome out of 6³ (216) possible outcomes, the probability is 1/216.
If f(x) = 2x + 3 and g(x) = x², what is the value of (f ∘ g)(2)?
11
13
14
10
First, calculate g(2) which is 2² = 4. Then, substitute into f to get f(4) = 2(4) + 3 = 11. This illustrates function composition step-by-step.
A rectangle's length is twice its width and its perimeter is 36. What is the area of the rectangle?
72
36
60
96
Let the width be w; then the length is 2w. The perimeter is given by 2(w + 2w) = 6w = 36, so w = 6 and the length is 12. The area is width × length, which is 6 × 12 = 72.
