SOLUTION KEY

1. True or False. A square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square.

True, a square is a type of rectangle because it has four right angles and opposite sides that are
equal in length, satisfying the definition of a rectangle. However, not all rectangles are squares
because a square requires all four sides to be of equal length, which is not a requirement for a
general rectangle.

Answer: True

2. How many sides does an icosagon have?

An icosagon is a polygon with 20 sides. The prefix "icosa-" refers to the number 20, so an
icosagon has 20 sides.

Answer: 20

3. What is the degree of the polynomial term 3x5 + 5x3y3 + y4?

The degree of the polynomial 3x5 + 5x3y3 + y4 is determined by finding the degree of each term
and then selecting the highest degree.

1. The degree of the term 3x5 is 5 (since the exponent of xxx is 5).

2. The degree of the term 5x3y3 is 3 + 3 = 6 (since the exponents of x and y are 3 and 3,
respectively).

3. The degree of the term y4 is 4 (since the exponent of y is 4).

o The highest degree among these terms is 6.

Thus, the degree of the polynomial is 6.


Answer: 6

4. At least how many points are necessary to determine a curve?

At least three points are necessary to determine a curve because two points can only determine
a straight line. A third point allows us to determine a non-linear curve such as a parabola or
higher-degree curves.

Answer: 3 points

5. If the first term of the binomial is x4, what is the degree of the leading term when the
expression is raised to the power of 6?

The first term of the binomial is x4. If the entire expression is raised to the power of 6, we
multiply the exponent of x4 by 6:
(x4)6=x4×6=x24

Therefore, the degree of the leading term is 24.

Answer: 24
6. Two lines meet at a point of intersection forming 90-degree angles. What is the gradient of
𝟐
the second line if the first's is - 𝟑?

When two lines meet at a 90-degree angle, their slopes (gradients) are negative reciprocals of
𝟐
each other. If the slope of the first line is − , the slope of the second line will be the negative
𝟑
reciprocal:

𝟏 𝟑
Slope of second line = − ( 𝟐) =
−𝟑 𝟐

𝟑
So, the slope (gradient) of the second line is .
𝟐

𝟑
Answer:
𝟐

𝟏
7. What is the final value 9 - 3 ÷ 𝟐
+ 1 × 0?
1
To solve the expression 9 - 3 ÷ + 1 × 0, follow the order of operations (PEMDAS:
2
Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and
Subtraction (from left to right)).

1. First, handle the division:


1
3÷ =3×2=6
2
Now the expression becomes:
9–6+1×0
2. Next, handle the multiplication:
1×0=0
Now the expression becomes:
9−6+0

3. Finally, perform the addition and subtraction from left to right:


9–6+0=3
Final value: 3

Answer: 3

8. What is the median of the data set 3, 7, 9, 5, 12?

First, arrange the data set in ascending order: 3, 5, 7, 9, 12.

The median is the middle value of the ordered set, which is 7.

Answer: 7

𝟏
9. If sin A = 𝟐 , find the value of csc A.

The cosecant function is the reciprocal of the sine function:


1 1
csc A = = 1=2
𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝐴
2

Answer: 2
10. A term used to refer to a value which is mathematically inexpressible such as a rational
algebraic expression whose denominator is 0.

When the denominator of a rational expression is zero, the expression is said to be undefined.
Division by zero is mathematically undefined.

Answer: Undefined
