What is the slope of a horizontal line?
Answer: 0
A horizontal line has no vertical change, so its slope is 0.
Solve for x: 3x - 7 = 2x + 4.
Answer: x = 11
Subtract 2x and add 7 to get x = 11.
What is (x^4)^2 simplified?
Answer: x^8
Raising a power to a power multiplies exponents: 4 × 2 = 8.
A line has slope 3 and passes through (0, -2). What is its equation?
Answer: y = 3x - 2
With slope 3 and y-intercept -2, the equation is y = 3x - 2.
Solve the inequality: -2x < 8.
Answer: x > -4
Divide by -2 and flip the inequality to get x > -4.
What is the discriminant of x^2 + 4x + 3 = 0?
Answer: 4
The discriminant b^2 - 4ac = 16 - 12 = 4.
If g(x) = x^2 - 1, what is g(-3)?
Answer: 8
Substitute -3: (-3)^2 - 1 = 9 - 1 = 8.
