O-Level Elementary Mathematics Quiz - Algebra Functions (Answer Key)

Topic: Algebra Functions
Total Marks: 40
Level: O-Level Elementary Mathematics

Section A: Basic Function Notation and Evaluation

1. [2 marks]
Given $f(x) = 3x - 4$ , find $f(5)$ .

Substitute $x = 5$ : $f(5) = 3(5) - 4 = 15 - 4 = 11$ .
Answer: 11
Teaching note: A function $f(x)$ means "replace x with the given number". Common mistake: forgetting to multiply before subtracting.

2. [2 marks]
Given $g(x) = x^2 + 2x$ , find $g(-3)$ .

$g(-3) = (-3)^2 + 2(-3) = 9 - 6 = 3$ .
Answer: 3
Teaching note: $(-3)^2 = 9$ , not $-9$ . Squaring a negative gives positive.

3. [2 marks]
$h(x) = \frac{10}{x}$ , find $h(2)$ .

$h(2) = \frac{10}{2} = 5$ .
Answer: 5

4. [2 marks]
$p(x) = 5 - x$ , find $x$ when $p(x) = 0$ .

$5 - x = 0 \Rightarrow x = 5$ .
Answer: 5
Marking: 1 mark for equation, 1 mark for solution.

5. [2 marks]
$f(x) = 2x + 1$ , find $f(a+1)$ .

$f(a+1) = 2(a+1) + 1 = 2a + 2 + 1 = 2a + 3$ .
Answer: $2a + 3$
Teaching note: Replace every x with $(a+1)$ inside brackets.

Section B: Graphs of Linear and Quadratic Functions

6. [2 marks]
$y = 2x + 3$ : gradient = 2, y-intercept = 3.
Answer: Gradient 2, y-intercept 3
Teaching note: For $y = mx + c$ , $m$ is gradient, $c$ is y-intercept.

7. [2 marks]
Sketch $y = 4 - x$ : line through $(0,4)$ and $(4,0)$ .
Answer: Correct straight line with both intercepts labelled.
Marking: 1 mark line, 1 mark intercepts.

8. [2 marks]
$y = x^2 - 4 = 0 \Rightarrow x^2 = 4 \Rightarrow x = 2$ or $x = -2$ .
Answer: $x = 2, -2$

9. [2 marks]
$y = (x-1)^2 + 2$ : minimum at $(1, 2)$ .
Answer: $(1, 2)$
