What is the area enclosed by y = x² and y = x between x = 0 and x = 1?
Answer: 1/6
∫₀¹ (x - x²) dx = [x²/2 - x³/3]₀¹ = 1/2 - 1/3 = 1/6.
What is the value of sin(π/6)?
Answer: 1/2
sin(30°) = sin(π/6) = 1/2 is a standard trigonometric value.
If a vector a = (3, 4), what is |a|?
Answer: 5
|a| = √(3² + 4²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5.
What is the general solution to dy/dx = 2y?
Answer: y = Ce^(2x)
Separating variables: dy/y = 2dx → ln|y| = 2x + const → y = Ce^(2x).
How many complex roots does x⁴ + 1 = 0 have?
Answer: 4
A degree-4 polynomial always has exactly 4 roots (counting multiplicity) in the complex numbers.
What is the dot product of vectors (1, 2, 3) and (4, -1, 2)?
Answer: 8
(1)(4) + (2)(-1) + (3)(2) = 4 - 2 + 6 = 8.
