Solve 2x + 5 = 13.
x = 4
x = 3
x = 5
x = 6
Subtract 5 from both sides to get 2x = 8, then divide by 2 to find x = 4. This basic linear equation demonstrates the use of inverse operations.
Simplify the expression 3(x + 4).
3x + 12
3x + 4
x + 12
7x
Apply the distributive property by multiplying 3 with both x and 4, resulting in 3x + 12. This reinforces the basic concept of distribution.
If f(x) = 2x - 1, what is f(3)?
5
6
4
7
Substitute x = 3 into the function f(x): 2(3) - 1 equals 5. This question checks basic function evaluation skills.
Which property of multiplication is shown in 3*(x*y) = (3*x)*y?
Associative Property
Commutative Property
Distributive Property
Identity Property
The rearrangement of grouping in the multiplication without changing the product exemplifies the associative property. This property highlights that how numbers are grouped in multiplication does not affect the outcome.
Solve for y: 3y = 12.
y = 4
y = 3
y = 6
y = 5
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to obtain y = 4. This straightforward problem tests the understanding of basic algebraic manipulation.
Solve for x: 4x + 7 = 23.
x = 4
x = 3
x = 6
x = 5
Subtract 7 from both sides to get 4x = 16, then divide by 4 to find x = 4. This demonstrates the process of solving a linear equation with one variable.
Simplify the expression: 2(3x - 4) - x.
5x - 8
6x - 8
5x - 4
6x - 4
Expanding 2(3x - 4) results in 6x - 8; subtracting x gives 5x - 8. This tests understanding of the distributive property and combining like terms.
Factor the quadratic expression: x^2 + 5x + 6.
(x + 2)(x + 3)
(x + 1)(x + 6)
(x + 2)(x + 4)
(x + 3)(x + 4)
Identify two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to 5; these numbers are 2 and 3. Thus, the quadratic factors as (x + 2)(x + 3).
Solve for x: (x/2) - 3 = 5.
x = 16
x = 8
x = 10
x = 14
Add 3 to both sides to obtain x/2 = 8, then multiply by 2 to find x = 16. This problem involves fractional equations and simple algebraic operations.
What is the slope of the line represented by 2y = 4x + 6?
2
4
1/2
3
Rewriting the equation as y = 2x + 3 shows that the slope is 2. This reinforces the method of converting to slope-intercept form to identify the slope.
Simplify the expression: (3x^2 * 2x) / (6x).
x^2
3x^2
x^3
2x^2
Multiply in the numerator to get 6x^3, then divide by 6x to cancel like terms, leaving x^2. This solidifies the application of exponent rules in simplification.
If f(x) = x^2 - 4, what is f(3)?
5
-1
3
7
Substitute x = 3 into f(x) to calculate 3^2 - 4, which equals 5. This question reinforces the concept of evaluating functions.
Express y in terms of x from the equation 3y + 2x = 12.
y = 4 - (2/3)x
y = 4 + (2/3)x
y = 12 - 2x
y = 12 + 2x
Rearrange the equation by subtracting 2x and dividing by 3 to isolate y, resulting in y = 4 - (2/3)x. This tests skills in solving for a variable.
Solve the inequality: x - 5 > 2.
x > 7
x < 7
x ≥ 7
x ≤ 7
Add 5 to both sides to find x > 7. The inequality illustrates basic operations used with inequalities.
Determine the value of x that satisfies: x/3 + x/6 = 1.
x = 2
x = 3
x = 1
x = 6
Combine the fractions by finding a common denominator to get (1/2)x = 1, then multiply both sides by 2 to find x = 2. This problem emphasizes the management of fractions in algebraic equations.
Solve the quadratic equation: x^2 - 3x - 10 = 0.
x = 5 or x = -2
x = 5
x = -2
x = 2 or x = -5
Factor the quadratic into (x - 5)(x + 2) = 0 to obtain the solutions x = 5 and x = -2. This question reinforces factoring techniques and solving quadratic equations.
Solve the system of equations: 2x + y = 7 and x - y = 1.
x = 8/3, y = 5/3
x = 5/3, y = 8/3
x = 3, y = 1
x = 4, y = -1
Using substitution or elimination, solve the system to get x = 8/3 and y = 5/3. This problem requires careful manipulation of simultaneous equations.
Find the vertex of the parabola defined by y = -x^2 + 4x + 1.
(2, 5)
(2, -5)
(-2, 5)
(-2, -5)
Calculate the x-coordinate using -b/(2a) which gives x = 2, then substitute back into the equation to find y = 5. This process identifies the vertex of the parabola accurately.
Simplify the rational expression: (x^2 - 9) / (x^2 - x - 12).
(x - 3) / (x - 4)
(x + 3) / (x - 4)
(x - 3) / (x + 4)
(x - 4) / (x + 3)
Factor the numerator as (x - 3)(x + 3) and the denominator as (x - 4)(x + 3), then cancel the common term (x + 3) to simplify the expression. This question emphasizes factoring and simplification of rational expressions.
Solve for x: √(2x + 3) = 5.
x = 11
x = 14
x = 10
x = 12
Square both sides to eliminate the square root, resulting in 2x + 3 = 25, then subtract 3 and divide by 2 to get x = 11. This tests the method of solving equations involving radicals.

Chapter 5 Night Questions Cheat Sheet

  1. General form of a quadratic function - Quads are everywhere! The general form f(x)=ax²+bx+c helps you identify which way the parabola opens and how wide it is. Spotting a, b, and c quickly is like having a map to your graph's journey. OpenStax: Key Equations
  2. Standard form and the vertex - Transform f(x)=a(x−h)²+k and you unlock the vertex (h,k) instantly. It's like finding the peak of a mountain or the bottom of a valley with one glance. This form makes graphing a breeze and highlights shifts from the origin. OpenStax: Key Equations
  3. Division Algorithm for polynomials - Say you have f(x)=d(x)·q(x)+r(x); this neat trick splits a big polynomial into a divisor, a quotient, plus a tiny remainder. It's the secret recipe for long division with polynomials and helps you test factors. Mastering this keeps your algebraic toolbox sharp! OpenStax: Key Equations
  4. Rational function fundamentals - A rational function f(x)=p(x)/q(x) is like a fraction gym for polynomials - except whenever q(x)=0, the function throws up a "no entry" sign! Understanding holes and vertical asymptotes will make you a graphing superstar. Always check the denominator first! OpenStax: Key Equations
  5. Direct variation - y=kx means y grows (or shrinks) in perfect sync with x, with k as your growth dial. No surprises here - double x, double y (if k>0)! Recognizing direct variation helps you see linear relationships in real life. OpenStax: Key Equations
  6. Inverse variation - y=k/x flips the script: as x doubles, y halves (for constant k). It's a beautiful dance of give-and-take, showing up in physics, chemistry, and everyday formulas. Spotting inverse variation prevents nasty division-by-zero blunders! OpenStax: Key Equations
  7. Parabola shape and direction - Every quadratic graphs as a parabola that either smiles (opens up if a>0) or frowns (opens down if a<0). Think of a as the "mood" of your curve - positive is happy, negative is glum. Visualizing this helps you predict maximums and minimums before you even calculate them. OpenStax: Key Concepts
  8. Vertex significance - The vertex is the summit or valley of your parabola, showing its highest or lowest point. It's where the magic happens - maximum profit, minimum cost, or just a sweet graphing landmark. Finding the vertex is your shortcut to understanding the quadratic's real-world story. OpenStax: Key Concepts
  9. Axis of symmetry - Every parabola has a vertical line slicing right down the middle - x=h. This axis of symmetry gives you perfect mirror images on both sides. Once you know it, you can plot one side and simply reflect to get the other! OpenStax: Key Concepts
  10. Zeros or x-intercepts - Setting f(x)=0 reveals the roots where your graph crosses the x-axis - think of them as treasure spots on a map. Solving ax²+bx+c=0 by factoring, completing the square, or using the quadratic formula uncovers these critical points. Zeros tell you where the function changes sign! OpenStax: Key Concepts
