  1. 1. Solve for x: 4(x + 1) − 11 = 2x + 5

    • a5
    • b6
    • c-6
    • d7
    Show solution

    Answer: 6

    Expand, collect x-terms on one side, constants on the other, divide.

    Expand: 4x + 4 − 11 = 2x + 5, then isolate x.

  2. 2. A = [-4, 1], B = (-1, 4) How many integers lie in A ∩ B?

    • a1
    • b4
    • c2
    • d3
    Show solution

    Answer: 2

    The intersection runs from the larger left end to the smaller right end; a round bracket excludes its end.

    A ∩ B = (-1, 1]: 2 integers.

  3. 3. A circle has radius 6. A sector of the circle has a central angle of 60°. What is the area of the sector, expressed as a multiple of π? (e.g. an area of 5π has answer 5)

    • a36
    • b8
    • c5
    • d6
    Show solution

    Answer: 6

    Sector area = (θ/360) × πr².

    (60/360) × π×6² = (60/360) × 36π = 6π.
