  1. Solve the inequality: 3x - 4 > 11

    Answer: x > 5

    3x > 15, so x > 5.

  2. What is the asymptote of f(x) = 1/(x - 3)?

    Answer: x = 3

    The vertical asymptote occurs where the denominator is zero: x - 3 = 0, so x = 3.

  3. If 5^x = 125, what is x?

    Answer: 3

    125 = 5³, so 5^x = 5³ → x = 3.

  4. A function is odd if f(-x) = -f(x). Which of the following is an odd function?

    Answer: f(x) = x³

    f(-x) = (-x)³ = -x³ = -f(x), confirming f(x) = x³ is odd.

  5. Simplify: (x² - 9)/(x - 3)

    Answer: x + 3

    x² - 9 = (x+3)(x-3); dividing by (x-3) gives (x+3).

  6. The quadratic y = x² - 4x + 3 crosses the x-axis at which two points?

    Answer: x = 1 and x = 3

    Factoring: (x-1)(x-3) = 0 gives x = 1 and x = 3.
