- A.
0
- B.
1
- C.
2
- D.
Infinite
Correct Answer
A. 0Explanation
The cardinality of a set refers to the number of elements it contains. The empty set, also known as the null set, is a set that does not contain any elements. Therefore, the cardinality of the empty set is 0, as there are no elements to count.Rate this question:

If lnl = 8, which integer/s can replace it n?
- A.
-8
- B.
0
- C.
8
- D.
Both a and c
Correct Answer
D. Both a and cExplanation
The given equation lnl = 8 implies that the natural logarithm of n is equal to 8. The natural logarithm of a negative number does not exist, so the integer -8 cannot replace n. However, the natural logarithm of 1 is 0, so the integer 0 can replace n. Additionally, the natural logarithm of 8 is not equal to 8, but it is a valid solution. Therefore, both -8 and 8 can replace n in the equation.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a subset of set A = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25}?
- A.
{ }
- B.
{1, 4, 16}
- C.
{1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
- D.
{1, 4, 9, 16, 25}
Correct Answer
C. {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}Explanation
The set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} is not a subset of set A = {1, 4, 9, 16, 25} because it contains elements that are not present in set A. Set A only contains the squares of the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, while the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} includes additional numbers that are not squares of the given numbers.Rate this question:

Which of the following is an infinite set?
- A.
Empty set
- B.
Universal set
- C.
The set of natural numbers
- D.
Both b and c
Correct Answer
C. The set of natural numbersExplanation
The set of natural numbers is an infinite set because it includes all positive whole numbers starting from 1 and continuing indefinitely. There is no largest natural number, so the set does not have an endpoint and can be considered infinite. The empty set and universal set are both finite sets, as they have a specific number of elements or include all possible elements, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is the set of natural numbers.Rate this question:

Which of the following statements is false?
- A.
All integers are rational.
- B.
All fractions are rational.
- C.
All repeating decimals are rational.
- D.
All terminating decimals are rational.
Correct Answer
B. All fractions are rational.Explanation
The statement "All fractions are rational" is false because there are fractions that are not rational, such as irrational numbers like √2 or π. Rational numbers can be expressed as a ratio of two integers, while fractions can have a numerator and denominator that are not both integers. Therefore, not all fractions are rational.Rate this question:

Think of x as a real number. Which of the following numbers when added to x gives x?
- A.
0
- B.
1
- C.
-x
- D.
1/x
Correct Answer
A. 0Explanation
When 0 is added to any real number x, the sum will always be x. This is because the additive identity property states that any number plus 0 is equal to that number. Therefore, 0 is the correct answer as it satisfies the condition of adding to x and giving x as the result.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a unit of volume?
- A.
Ha
- B.
Cubic inches
- C.
L
- D.
Cubic meter
Correct Answer
A. HaExplanation
The correct answer is "ha" because it is not a unit of volume. "ha" is actually a unit of area, specifically hectare, which is commonly used to measure land area. Volume, on the other hand, is a measure of the amount of space occupied by an object or substance. The other options - cubic inches, liters, and cubic meters - are all units of volume commonly used in different contexts.Rate this question:

What property is illustrated by the equation (5)(3+4)=(5)(3)+(5)(4)?
- A.
Associative property
- B.
Distributive property
- C.
Property of opposites
- D.
Commutative property
Correct Answer
B. Distributive propertyExplanation
The equation (5)(3+4)=(5)(3)+(5)(4) demonstrates the distributive property. This property states that when multiplying a number by a sum, you can distribute the multiplication to each term inside the parentheses. In this equation, the number 5 is being multiplied by the sum (3+4), and the distributive property allows us to multiply 5 by each term inside the parentheses separately, resulting in (5)(3)+(5)(4).Rate this question:

An electric fan has a power rating of 65 W. If it is used for 3 hours, what is the electric consumption?
- A.
0.195 kWh
- B.
1.2 kWh
- C.
1.5 kWh
- D.
1.195 kWh
Correct Answer
A. 0.195 kWhExplanation
The electric consumption can be calculated by multiplying the power rating of the fan (65 W) by the time it is used (3 hours). This gives us a total energy consumption of 195 Wh. To convert this to kilowatt-hours, we divide by 1000, resulting in 0.195 kWh.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a term in the expansion of (x + y + 3)2?
- A.
2xy
- B.
6xy
- C.
6x
- D.
6y
Correct Answer
B. 6xyExplanation
In the expansion of (x + y + 3)2, all the terms are obtained by multiplying the terms in the two brackets. The term 6xy cannot be obtained because there is no term in the other bracket that contains both x and y. Therefore, 6xy is not a term in the expansion.Rate this question:

If angles form a linear pair, which of the following statements is true?
- A.
They are adjacent and complementary.
- B.
They are adjacent and supplementary.
- C.
They are supplementary but not necessarily adjacent.
- D.
They are complementary but not necessarily adjacent.
Correct Answer
B. They are adjacent and supplementary.Explanation
When angles form a linear pair, it means that they are adjacent, which means they share a common vertex and side. Additionally, they are supplementary, which means that their measures add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, the correct statement is that they are adjacent and supplementary.Rate this question:

- A.
12
- B.
35
- C.
45
- D.
54
Correct Answer
D. 54Explanation
A dodecagon is a polygon with 12 sides. To find the number of diagonals that can be drawn in a dodecagon, we can use the formula n(n-3)/2, where n is the number of sides of the polygon. Plugging in 12 for n, we get 12(12-3)/2 = 12(9)/2 = 108/2 = 54. Therefore, the correct answer is 54.Rate this question:
