Question 1: Solving Linear Equations

Question: Solve for x x x: 3x+5=17 3x + 5 = 17 3x+5=17.


Answer: x=4 x = 4 x=4

Explanation:

  • Subtract 5 from both sides: 3x=17−5 3x = 17 - 5 3x=17−5, so 3x=12 3x = 12 3x=12.
  • Divide both sides by 3: x=123=4 x = \frac{12}{3} = 4 x=312=4.

Question 2: Quadratic Equations

Question: Solve the quadratic equation x2−5x+6=0 x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 x2−5x+6=0 by factoring.


Answer: x=2 x = 2 x=2 or x=3 x = 3 x=3

Explanation:

  • Find two numbers that multiply to 6 and add to -5: these are -2 and -3.
  • Factor the equation: (x−2)(x−3)=0 (x - 2)(x - 3) = 0 (x−2)(x−3)=0.
  • Set each factor to zero: x−2=0 x - 2 = 0 x−2=0 gives x=2 x = 2 x=2, and x−3=0 x - 3 = 0 x−3=0 gives x=3 x = 3 x=3.

Question 3: Geometry - Area of a Triangle

Question: A triangle has a base of 8 cm and a height of 5 cm. What is its area?


Answer: 20 cm2 20 \, \text{cm}^2 20cm2

Explanation:

  • The area of a triangle is given by Area=12×base×height \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} Area=21×base×height.
  • Substitute the values: Area=12×8×5=20 cm2 \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 5 = 20 \, \text{cm}^2 Area=21×8×5=20cm2.

Question 4: Slope of a Line

Question: Find the slope of the line passing through the points (2,3) (2, 3) (2,3) and (5,9) (5, 9) (5,9).


Answer: Slope = 2

Explanation:

  • The slope m m m is calculated using m=y2−y1x2−x1 m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} m=x2−x1y2−y1.
  • Substitute the points (x1,y1)=(2,3) (x_1, y_1) = (2, 3) (x1,y1)=(2,3) and (x2,y2)=(5,9) (x_2, y_2) = (5, 9) (x2,y2)=(5,9): m=9−35−2=63=2 m = \frac{9 - 3}{5 - 2} = \frac{6}{3} = 2 m=5−29−3=36=2.

Question 5: Basic Trigonometry

Question: In a right triangle, the angle θ \theta θ has an opposite side of 6 units and a hypotenuse of 10 units. What is sin⁡(θ) \sin(\theta) sin(θ)?


Answer: sin⁡(θ)=35 \sin(\theta) = \frac{3}{5} sin(θ)=53

Explanation:

  • The sine of an angle in a right triangle is sin⁡(θ)=oppositehypotenuse \sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} sin(θ)=hypotenuseopposite.
  • Substitute the given values: sin⁡(θ)=610=35 \sin(\theta) = \frac{6}{10} = \frac{3}{5} sin(θ)=106=53.
