Algebra 1 Questions and Answers

  • 1. 

     42  =

    • A.

      8

    • B.

      16

    • C.

      6

    • D.

      1

    Correct Answer
    B. 16
    Explanation
    The expression 4^2 represents 4 raised to the power of 2. In mathematical terms, this is referred to as "four squared." When you square a number, you multiply the number by itself.

    So, 4^2 is calculated as follows:
    4×4=16
    Thus, 4^2 equals 16.

    Rate this question:

  • 2. 

    What will be the value of x in this equation:  2x - 4 = 0

    • A.

      0

    • B.

      -2

    • C.

      2

    • D.

      1

    • E.

      4

    Correct Answer
    C. 2
    Explanation
    To find the value of 
    𝑥 in the equation 2x−4=0, you can follow these steps:
    Add 4 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with 
    x on one side:
    2x−4+4=0+4
    2x=4
    Divide both sides by 2 to solve for 𝑥
    2x / 2 = 4/2
    x=2
    Thus, the value of 
    x is 2.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Use the formula above, when x = -1 to find the value for y.

    • A.

      6

    • B.

      -4

    • C.

      8

    • D.

      5

    • E.

      0

    Correct Answer
    A. 6
    Explanation
    To find the value of ( y ) when ( x = -1 ) using the given formula, we can substitute ( x ) into the equation shown on the graph:

    [ y = (x-1)^2 + 2 ]

    Substituting ( x = -1 ):

    [ y = (-1-1)^2 + 2 = (-2)^2 + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6 ]

    Therefore, when ( x = -1 ), the value of ( y ) is ( 6 ).

    Rate this question:

    • C.

      11/4

    • D.

      7/4

    • E.

      5 2/1

    Correct Answer
    B. 5  1/2
    Explanation
    The given expression involves adding two fractions with a common denominator of 2. When we add 4/2 and 7/2, we get a sum of 11/2. However, 11/2 can be simplified to the mixed number 5 1/2. Therefore, the correct answer is 5 1/2.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Which term describes a polynomial with two terms?

    • A.

      Monomial

    • B.

      Binomial

    • C.

      Trinomial

    • D.

      Polynomial

    Correct Answer
    B. Binomial
    Explanation
    In algebra, a polynomial with two terms is called a binomial. Each term is referred to as a monomial, and a binomial consists of two such monomials. Common examples include expressions like x+y and 3x2−2x. The prefix "bi-" indicates two, aligning with the number of terms.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    Use the formula above to find a when b = 4, c = 5.

    • A.

      2

    • B.

      1

    • C.

      4

    • D.

      6

    • E.

      3

    Correct Answer
    E. 3
    Explanation
    To find the value of ( a ) using the Pythagorean theorem when ( b = 4 ) and ( c = 5 ), the formula used is:

    [ a^2 + b^2 = c^2 ]

    Given ( b = 4 ) and ( c = 5 ), substitute these values into the formula:

    [ a^2 + 4^2 = 5^2 ]
    [ a^2 + 16 = 25 ]

    Now, solve for ( a^2 ):

    [ a^2 = 25 - 16 ]
    [ a^2 = 9 ]

    Taking the square root of both sides gives:

    [ a = √{9} ]
    [ a = 3 ]

    Thus, when ( b = 4 ) and ( c = 5 ), the value of ( a ) is ( 3 ).

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Find the value of x in this equation: x + 2(x + 7) = 14x– 7. 

    • A.

      3/2

    • B.

      21/11

    • C.

      11/7

    • D.

      2/5

    Correct Answer
    B. 21/11
    Explanation
    To find the value of x in the equation, we first distribute the 2 to the terms inside the parentheses: x + 2x + 14 = 14x - 7. Then, we combine like terms: 3x + 14 = 14x - 7. Next, we isolate the variable terms on one side and the constant terms on the other side: 14 + 7 = 14x - 3x. Simplifying further, we have 21 = 11x. Finally, we divide both sides by 11 to solve for x, resulting in x = 21/11. 

    Rate this question:

  • 9.

    12q – 10 = 14q + 2. Find q. 

    • A.

      8

    • B.

      6

    • C.

      -6

    • D.

      0

    Correct Answer
    C. -6
    Explanation
    Start by isolating the variable q on one side of the equation. To do this, you need to move all terms with q to one side and constants to the other side.
    12q - 14q = 2 + 10
    -2q = 12
    Now, divide both sides by -2 to solve for q:
    (-2q) / (-2) = 12 / (-2)
    q = -6
    So, the value of q is q = -6.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    What is the value of 𝑥 in the equation 2𝑥+3=11?

    • A.

      3

    • B.

      4

    • C.

      5

    • D.

      6

    Correct Answer
    B. 4
    Explanation
    To solve for x, you need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Start by subtracting 3 from both sides to eliminate the constant term on the left side:
    2x+3−3=11−3
    This simplifies to:
    2x=8
    Next, divide both sides by 2 to solve for 
    2x= 8/2
    ​Resulting in:
    x=4

    Rate this question:

  • 13. 

    Which expression represents the distributive property?

    • A.

      [a(b+c)=ab+ac]

    • B.

      [a+b=b+a]

    • C.

      [a(bc)=(ab)c]

    • D.

      [a(b−c)=ab−ac]

    Correct Answer
    A. [a(b+c)=ab+ac]
    Explanation
    The distributive property states that multiplying a number by a sum is the same as multiplying the number by each addend separately and then adding the results. In this case, a(b+c) = ab + ac demonstrates the distributive property, where "a" is distributed to both "b" and "c." The other expressions represent different mathematical properties: B) is the commutative property of addition, C) is the associative property of multiplication, and D) is another form of the distributive property but with subtraction.

    Rate this question:

  • 14. 

    Simplify: (x2−3x+2)−(2x2−5x+4)

    • A.

      -x2+2x−2

    • B.

      −x2+8x−6

    • C.

      3x2−2x+6

    • D.

      X2−8x+6

    Correct Answer
    A. -x2+2x−2
    Explanation
    To simplify this expression, distribute the negative sign across the terms in the second polynomial:
    x2−3x+2−2x2+5x-4
    Combine like terms (terms with the same variable raised to the same power):
    (x2−2x2)+(−3x+5x)+(2−4)
    This results in:
    -x2+2x−2

    Rate this question:

  • 15. 

    Solve for y in the equation: 3y−6=9.

    • A.

      6

    • B.

      5

    • C.

      3

    • D.

      1

    Correct Answer
    B. 5
    Explanation
    Begin by adding 6 to both sides to remove the constant term from the left side:
    3y−6+6=9+6
    Simplifying gives:
    3y=15
    y=15/3
    y=5
