The correct answer is b) If (a, b) is in the relation, then (b, a) is also in the relation. - Find the domain of the function f(x) = √(x+1).
A) {x ∈ ℝ : x ≥ -1}
B) {x ∈ ℝ : x ≤ -1}
C) {x ∈ ℝ : x > -1}
D) {x ∈ ℝ : x < -1}
S2. ANS:- A) {x ∈ ℝ : x ≥ -1}
Sol:- The domain of a square root function includes all real numbers that make the expression under the square root non-negative.
For the function f(x) = √x+1, the expression under the square root, x + 1, must be greater than or equal to zero for the function to be defined.
So, we solve the inequality x + 1 ≥ 0 for X
x + 1 ≥ 0
x ≥ −1
So, the domain of the function is all real numbers greater than or equal to -1.
The correct answer is A) {x ∈ ℝ : x ≥ -1} - Determine if the function f(x) = x22 is one-to-one.
A) Yes
B) No
ANS:- B) No
Sol:-The function f(x)=x2 is not one-to-one.
A function is one-to-one (or injective) if each element of the function’s codomain is mapped to by at most one element of its domain.
However, in the case of f(x) = x2, multiple inputs can result in the same output. For example, both f(2) = 4 and f(−2) = 4, indicating that the function fails the horizontal line test.
So, the correct answer is B) No - Which of the following functions is not onto?
A) f(x) = x2
B) f(x) = 2x + 1
C) f(x) = ex
D) f(x) = |x|
ANS:- A) f(x) = x2
Sol:- To determine which function is not onto (or surjective), we need to find if any elements in the function’s codomain do not have pre-images in the domain.
Let’s analyze each function:
A) f(x) = x2
This function is not onto because there are elements in the codomain (e.g., negative real numbers) that do not have pre-images in the domain.
B) f(x) = 2x + 1
This function is onto because, for any real number y, we can find x = (y−1) / 2 such that f(x) = y. In other words, every real number can be expressed as 2x + 1, so the function covers the entire real line.
C) f(x) = ex
This function is onto because the exponential function ex maps to all positive real numbers, and it’s defined for all real numbers x, covering the entire positive real line.
D) f(x) = |x|
This function is onto because, for any real number y, we can find x = y or x = −y such that f(x) = ∣x∣ = y. In other words, every real number can be expressed as ∣x∣, so the function covers the entire real line.
So, the function that is not onto is A) f(x) = x2 - Calculate the inverse of the function f(x) = 3x – 1.
A) f(-1)(x) = (x+1) / 3
B) f(-1)(x) = (x-1) / 3
C) f(-1)(x) = (x-1) / 3
D) f(-1)(x) = (x+1) / 3
ANS:- A) f(-1)(x) = (x+1) / 3
Sol:- To find the inverse of a function, we need to swap the roles of x and y and solve for y.
Given the function
f(x) = 3x − 1, let’s denote the inverse as f(-1)(x)
So, we have:
y = 3x − 1
Swap x and y:
x = 3y − 1
Now, solve for y:
x +1 = 3y
y = (x+1) / 3
So, the inverse function is f(-1)(x) = (x+1) / 3
The correct answer is A) f(-1)(x) = (x+1) / 3 - What does a dependent system of linear equations indicate?
A) The system has infinitely many solutions.
B) The system has no solution.
C) The system has exactly one solution.
D) None of the above
ANS:- A) The system has infinitely many solutions.
Sol:- In a dependent system, the equations represent parallel lines or coincide with each other, meaning they have infinitely many points of intersection, resulting in infinite solutions. Therefore, option A) The system has infinitely many solutions is correct. - Which equation represents a line parallel to the x-axis?
A) y − 2 = 0
B) 3x + 4y = 7
C) x = 2
D) 4y − 3 = 0
ANS:- A) y − 2 = 0
Sol:- A line parallel to the x-axis is a horizontal line, meaning its equation will have a constant value for y. Among the given options:
Option A) y − 2 = 0 is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis because it implies y = 2
Option B) 3x + 4y = 7 is a linear equation, but it doesn’t represent a line parallel to the x-axis.
Option C) x = 2 represents a vertical line parallel to the y-axis, not the x-axis.
Option D) 4y − 3 0 is a horizontal line parallel to the x-axis because it implies y = 3/4
So, the correct answer is A) y− 2 = 0 - What is the solution to the equation 5x + 3 = 28?
A) x = 5
B) x = 6
C) x = 7
D) x = 8
ANS:- A) x=5
Sol:- To solve the equation 5x + 3 = 28, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation.
First, subtract 3 from both sides:5x+3−3=28−3
5x = 25
Then, divide both sides by 5 to solve for
5x/5 = 25/5
x=5
So, the correct answer is A) x=5 - Which method is commonly used to solve systems of linear equations with three variables?

Therefore, option B) A statement asserting the equality of two expressions is the correct choice. - What is the primary focus of simultaneous equations?
A) Finding the sum of equations.
B) Finding the product of equations.
C) Finding a common solution to a set of independent equations.
D) Finding the difference between equations.
ANS:- C) Finding a common solution to a set of independent equations
Sol:- Simultaneous equations primarily focus on finding a common solution to a set of independent equations. These equations represent relationships between variables, and solving them involves determining the values of the variables that satisfy all the equations simultaneously. Therefore, option C) Finding a common solution to a set of independent equations is the correct choice. - When do inconsistent equations have no solution?
A) a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2
B) a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
C) a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2
D) a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2
ANS:- C) a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2
Sol:- Inconsistent equations have no solution when the ratios of corresponding coefficients are not equal. This means that the lines represented by the equations are not parallel and do not intersect, resulting in no common solution. Therefore, option C) a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2 is the correct choice. - When factoring a quadratic equation, what do you set each factor equal to?
A) 0
B) 1
C) 2
D) The coefficient of x
ANS:- A) 0
Sol:- This is because when factoring a quadratic equation, you typically rewrite it in the form (x−r) (x−s) = 0, where r and s are the roots or solutions of the equation. Setting each factor equal to zero allows you to solve for the values of x that make each factor equal to zero, thereby finding the solutions to the quadratic equation. Therefore, option A) 0 is the correct choice. - Which method involves plotting equations on a graph?
A) Factoring
B) Elimination Method
C) Graphical Method
D) Substitution Method
ANS:- C) Graphical Method
