Secondary 3 Elementary Mathematics Quiz - Algebra Functions (Answer Key)

Section A: Algebraic Manipulation and Indices

  1. (3x2y−3)2×(2x−1y4)=(9x4y−6)×(2x−1y4)=18x3y−2=18x3y2(3x^2y^{-3})^2 \times (2x^{-1}y^4) = (9x^4y^{-6}) \times (2x^{-1}y^4) = 18x^3y^{-2} = \frac{18x^3}{y^2}
  2. 641/2+27−1/3=8+13=81364^{1/2} + 27^{-1/3} = 8 + \frac{1}{3} = 8\frac{1}{3} or 8.338.33
  3. (16a4b−2)1/2a−3b2=4a2b−1a−3b2=4a2−(−3)b−1−2=4a5b−3=4a5b3\frac{(16a^4b^{-2})^{1/2}}{a^{-3}b^2} = \frac{4a^2b^{-1}}{a^{-3}b^2} = 4a^{2-(-3)}b^{-1-2} = 4a^5b^{-3} = \frac{4a^5}{b^3}
  4. 12x2−75=3(4x2−25)=3(2x−5)(2x+5)12x^2 - 75 = 3(4x^2 - 25) = 3(2x - 5)(2x + 5)
  5. 3ax−6ay−bx+2by=3a(x−2y)−b(x−2y)=(3a−b)(x−2y)3ax - 6ay - bx + 2by = 3a(x - 2y) - b(x - 2y) = (3a - b)(x - 2y)

Section B: Algebraic Fractions and Quadratics

  1. 4x2−12x+9=(2x−3)24x^2 - 12x + 9 = (2x - 3)^2
  2. 3x−2−2x+1=3(x+1)−2(x−2)(x−2)(x+1)=3x+3−2x+4(x−2)(x+1)=x+7(x−2)(x+1)\frac{3}{x-2} - \frac{2}{x+1} = \frac{3(x+1) - 2(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+1)} = \frac{3x + 3 - 2x + 4}{(x-2)(x+1)} = \frac{x + 7}{(x-2)(x+1)}
  3. x2−7x+10=0  ⟹  (x−2)(x−5)=0  ⟹  x=2,x=5x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0 \implies (x-2)(x-5) = 0 \implies x = 2, x = 5
  4. 2x2+5x−4=0  ⟹  x=−5±25−4(2)(−4)2(2)=−5±574  ⟹  x≈0.64,x≈−3.142x^2 + 5x - 4 = 0 \implies x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 4(2)(-4)}}{2(2)} = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{57}}{4} \implies x \approx 0.64, x \approx -3.14
  5. x2+6x−1=0  ⟹  (x+3)2−9−1=0  ⟹  (x+3)2=10  ⟹  x+3=±10  ⟹  x=−3±10x^2 + 6x - 1 = 0 \implies (x+3)^2 - 9 - 1 = 0 \implies (x+3)^2 = 10 \implies x+3 = \pm\sqrt{10} \implies x = -3 \pm \sqrt{10}

Section C: Equations and Inequalities

  1. 4x−3=3x+2  ⟹  4(x+2)=3(x−3)  ⟹  4x+8=3x−9  ⟹  x=−17\frac{4}{x-3} = \frac{3}{x+2} \implies 4(x+2) = 3(x-3) \implies 4x + 8 = 3x - 9 \implies x = -17
  2. 3x−12<5x+2  ⟹  −14<2x  ⟹  x>−73x - 12 < 5x + 2 \implies -14 < 2x \implies x > -7
  3. 2x≤6  ⟹  x≤32x \le 6 \implies x \le 3 AND 3x>−6  ⟹  x>−23x > -6 \implies x > -2. Result: −2<x≤3-2 < x \le 3
  4. −5<2x+1≤7  ⟹  −6<2x≤6  ⟹  −3<x≤3-5 < 2x + 1 \le 7 \implies -6 < 2x \le 6 \implies -3 < x \le 3
  5. x2−5x−6=0  ⟹  (x−6)(x+1)=0  ⟹  x=6,x=−1x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0 \implies (x-6)(x+1) = 0 \implies x = 6, x = -1

Section D: Functions and Graphs

  1. Vertex: (3,−4)(3, -4)
  2. 0=−(x+1)(x−5)  ⟹  x=−1,x=50 = -(x+1)(x-5) \implies x = -1, x = 5. Intercepts: (−1,0)(-1, 0) and (5,0)(5, 0)
  3. y=(x2−8x+16)−16+12  ⟹  y=(x−4)2−4y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) - 16 + 12 \implies y = (x - 4)^2 - 4
  4. 0=−5t2+20t  ⟹  0=−5t(t−4)  ⟹  t=0,t=40 = -5t^2 + 20t \implies 0 = -5t(t - 4) \implies t = 0, t = 4. Ball hits ground at t=4t = 4 seconds.
  5. y=2x2−4x−6y = 2x^2 - 4x - 6
    • y-intercept: (0,−6)(0, -6)
    • x-intercepts: 2(x2−2x−3)=0  ⟹  2(x−3)(x+1)=0  ⟹  x=3,x=−12(x^2 - 2x - 3) = 0 \implies 2(x-3)(x+1) = 0 \implies x = 3, x = -1. Intercepts: (3,0),(−1,0)(3, 0), (-1, 0)
    • Vertex: x=−(−4)/(2×2)=1x = -(-4)/(2 \times 2) = 1; y=2(1)2−4(1)−6=−8y = 2(1)^2 - 4(1) - 6 = -8. Vertex: (1,−8)(1, -8)
