✍️ Sample NBT Questions & Answers
1. An author writes that survey results were 'skewed' by a small sample. The word 'skewed' implies the results were:
✓ Distorted or biased
'Skewed' means distorted away from a true or balanced value, here because of the small sample.
2. Expand: (x + 2)(x + 3).
✓ x^2 + 5x + 6
FOIL: x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = x^2 + 5x + 6.
3. The circumference of a circle is given by which formula (r = radius)?
✓ 2 pi r
Circumference = 2 pi r (or pi d). The area, by contrast, is pi r^2.
4. Solve the inequality: x - 6 < 2.
✓ x < 8
Add 6 to both sides: x < 8.
5. The average rate of change of f(x) = x² from x = 1 to x = 3 is:
✓ 4
[f(3) − f(1)] / (3 − 1) = (9 − 1) / 2 = 8/2 = 4.
6. Which of the following equals ∫4x³ dx?
✓ x⁴ + C
∫4x³ dx = 4 · x⁴/4 + C = x⁴ + C by the power rule for integration.
