- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. Xz>yzExplanation
If x, y, and z are real numbers and z is less than 0, then x < y implies that xz > yz. This can be explained by considering that when z is negative, multiplying both sides of the inequality x < y by z will result in a reversal of the inequality sign. Therefore, xz will be greater than yz.Rate this question:

The value of i9 is ____________
- A.
1
- B.
-1
- C.
I
- D.
-i
Correct Answer
C. IExplanation
The value of i9 is i because i is the imaginary unit, which represents the square root of -1. When i is raised to the power of 9, it cycles through a pattern where the powers of i repeat every 4 terms: i, -1, -i, 1. Since 9 is equivalent to 8 + 1, the power of i can be simplified to i8 * i1. i8 is equal to 1, so the value of i9 is i.Rate this question:

Imaginary part of -i(3i+2) is ___________
- A.
-2
- B.
2
- C.
3
- D.
-3
Correct Answer
A. -2Explanation
To find the imaginary part of -i(3i+2), we need to simplify the expression. Distributing -i to both terms inside the parentheses, we get -i(3i) - i(2). Simplifying further, -i(3i) becomes 3i^2, and since i^2 is equal to -1, 3i^2 becomes -3. -i(2) simplifies to -2i. Combining the two terms, we have -3 - 2i. The imaginary part of this expression is the coefficient of i, which is -2. Therefore, the correct answer is -2.Rate this question:

(27x-1)-2/3
- A.
3√x2/9
- B.
√x3/9
- C.
3√x2/8
- D.
√x3/8
Correct Answer
A. 3√x2/9Explanation
The given expression can be simplified by first simplifying the expression inside the parentheses. The expression (27x - 1) can be simplified further by distributing the -2/3 to both terms inside the parentheses. This gives us -54x/3 + 2/3. Simplifying this further, we get -18x + 2/3. Next, we need to simplify the expression outside the parentheses. Taking the cube root of x^2/9 gives us (x^2/9)^(1/3) which simplifies to (x^2)^(1/3)/(9)^(1/3). Simplifying this further, we get x^(2/3)/3. Therefore, the correct answer is 3√x^2/9.Rate this question:

What will be added to complete the square of 9a2-12ab?
- A.
-16b2
- B.
16b2
- C.
4b2
- D.
-4b2
Correct Answer
C. 4b2Explanation
To complete the square of 9a^2 - 12ab, we need to add a term that will make the expression a perfect square trinomial. The coefficient of the middle term is -12ab, so we want to find a term that, when squared, will give us (12ab/2)^2 = (6ab)^2 = 36a^2b^2. This term is 36a^2b^2. However, since we want to add this term to the expression, we need to subtract it to maintain the equality. Therefore, the term that needs to be added to complete the square is -36a^2b^2. Simplifying, we get 9a^2 - 12ab - 36a^2b^2. Factoring out a common factor, we have (3a - 6ab)^2. Notice that the middle term is -12ab, which matches the original expression. Therefore, the correct answer is 4b^2.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
C. 4Explanation
To find m so that x^2 + 4x + m is a complete square, we can use the formula for completing the square. The formula states that if we have a quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c, then we can rewrite it as (x + (b/2a))^2 + (c - b^2/4a). In this case, a = 1, b = 4, and c = m. Plugging these values into the formula, we get (x + 2)^2 + (m - 4)/4. To make this a complete square, we want the second term to be equal to zero. Therefore, (m - 4)/4 = 0, which implies m = 4.Rate this question:

- D.
-2
Correct Answer
B. -3Explanation
If (x-2) is a factor of P(x), it means that when we substitute x=2 into P(x), the result will be zero. Therefore, we can substitute x=2 into P(x) and solve for k. By substituting x=2 into P(x)=x^2+2kx+8, we get 2^2+2k(2)+8=0. Simplifying this equation, we get 4+4k+8=0. Combining like terms, we have 4k+12=0. Subtracting 12 from both sides, we get 4k=-12.

A2-b2
- C.
A4-b4
- D.
A-b
Correct Answer
C. A4-b4Explanation
The L.C.M (Least Common Multiple) of a2+b2 and a4-b4 can be found by factoring both expressions. When we factor a2+b2, it cannot be further simplified. However, when we factor a4-b4, we can use the difference of squares formula to simplify it as (a2+b2)(a2-b2). Therefore, the L.C.M of a2+b2 and a4-b4 is a4-b4.Rate this question:

H.C.F of x-2 and x2+x-6 is ________________
- A.
X2+x-6
- B.
X+3
- C.
X-2
- D.
X+2
Correct Answer
C. X-2Explanation
The given question asks for the highest common factor (H.C.F) of the expressions x-2 and x^2+x-6. To find the H.C.F, we need to factorize both expressions. The expression x^2+x-6 can be factored as (x+3)(x-2). The common factor between x-2 and (x+3)(x-2) is x-2. Therefore, the correct answer is x-2.Rate this question:

Which of the following is the solution of the inequality 3-4x≤11?
- A.
-8
- B.
-2
- C.
- 14/4
- D.
None of these
Correct Answer
B. -2Explanation
To find the solution of the inequality 3-4x≤11, we need to isolate the variable x. We can do this by subtracting 3 from both sides of the inequality, which gives us -4x≤8. Next, we divide both sides of the inequality by -4, remembering to reverse the inequality sign since we are dividing by a negative number. This gives us x≥-2. Therefore, the solution to the inequality is x=-2.Rate this question:
