What is the distributive property?
The distributive property states that a(b + c) = ab + ac.
True or False: The distributive property can only be applied to addition.
False
Fill in the blank: The distributive property allows you to multiply a number by a sum or a ______.
difference
If 3 is multiplied by the sum of 4 and 5, what is the result using the distributive property?
27
Which of the following expressions uses the distributive property correctly? a) 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6 b) 2(x + 3) = 2x + 3
a) 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6
What is the definition of the domain of a function?
The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which the function is defined.
True or False: The range of a function includes all possible output values (y-values) that a function can produce.
True
Fill in the blank: The domain of the function f(x) = 1/(x-2) is ________.
All real numbers except x = 2
Which of the following represents the range of the function f(x) = x^2?
The range is all real numbers greater than or equal to 0.
What determines the domain of a function?
The domain is determined by the values that do not cause division by zero or result in taking the square root of a negative number, among other considerations.
What is an independent variable?
An independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed in an experiment to test its effects on the dependent variable.
True or False: The dependent variable is the one that is measured in an experiment.
True
Fill in the blank: In an experiment, the __________ variable is expected to change as a result of changes to the independent variable.
dependent
Which of the following is an example of an independent variable? A) Plant growth B) Amount of sunlight C) Water consumption D) Fertilizer type
D) Fertilizer type
Short answer: How do independent and dependent variables relate in a scientific experiment?
Independent variables are changed to observe their effect on the dependent variables, which are measured as outcomes.
What is the formula for exponential growth?
The formula for exponential growth is y = a(1 + r)^t, where ‘y’ is the final amount, ‘a’ is the initial amount, ‘r’ is the growth rate, and ‘t’ is time.
True or False: Exponential decay occurs when a quantity decreases by a consistent percentage over equal time intervals.
True
Fill in the blank: In exponential decay, the formula is y = a(1 - r)^t, where ‘r’ represents the _____ rate.
decay
What is the key characteristic of exponential functions compared to linear functions?
Exponential functions grow or decay at a rate proportional to their current value, while linear functions grow or decay at a constant rate.
Multiple Choice: Which of the following is an example of exponential growth? A) Population increase, B) Temperature change, C) Linear distance, D) Constant speed.
A) Population increase
What is the first step in solving the equation 2x + 3 = 11?
Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
True or False: To isolate a variable, you can perform the same operation on both sides of the equation.
True
Fill in the blank: In the equation 5x - 7 = 18, the value of x can be found by first _____ both sides by 5.
adding 7 to
What does it mean to ‘solve for x’ in an equation?
It means to find the value of x that makes the equation true.
