1. Which equation represents a linear function?

  1. $y = 2x + 1$
  2. $y = x2 - 3$
  3. $y = x3 + 2$
  4. $y = 4x$
Show answer

Answer: A

A linear function has a highest power of $x$ equal to 1, forming a straight line graph.

2. If $f(x) = 5 - 2x$, find $x$ when $f(x) = 1$.

  1. 2
  2. 3
  3. -2
  4. 1
Show answer

Answer: A

$1 = 5 - 2x \implies 2x = 4 \implies x = 2$.

3. Identify the degree of the independent variable $x$ in a cubic function.

  1. 3
  2. 2
  3. 1
  4. -1
Show answer

Answer: A

A cubic function has an highest exponent (degree) of 3 for the variable $x$.

4. A line passes through $(0, 4)$ and $(2, 10)$. Which linear function matches this line?

  1. $y = 3x + 4$
  2. $y = 2x + 4$
  3. $y = 4x + 2$
  4. $y = 5x - 1$
Show answer

Answer: A

Gradient $m = 10 - 42 - 0 = 62 = 3$. Y-intercept is 4. Equation is $y = 3x + 4$.

5. What is the shape of the graph of a quadratic function $y = ax2 + bx + c$ when $a > 0$?

  1. U-shape curve
  2. Inverted U-shape curve
  3. Straight line
  4. Hyperbola
Show answer

Answer: A

When the coefficient of $x2$ ($a$) is positive, the quadratic graph opens upwards (U-shape).

6. Given $y = -x2 + 5$, what is the maximum value of $y$?

  1. 5
  2. 0
  3. 25
  4. Undefined
Show answer

Answer: A

Since $-x2 ≤ 0$ for all real numbers, the maximum value occurs at $x = 0$, giving $y = 5$.

7. Given $y = 12x$, calculate $y$ when $x = -4$.

  1. -3
  2. 3
  3. -4
  4. 48
Show answer

Answer: A

$y = 12-4 = -3$.

8. When scale on x-axis is 2 cm to 1 unit, what physical length represents 3 units?

  1. 6 cm
  2. 3 cm
  3. 1.5 cm
  4. 12 cm
Show answer

Answer: A

$3 units × 2 cm/unit = 6 cm$.

9. Given $y = 3x - 5$, calculate the value of $y$ when $x = 4$.

  1. 7
  2. 12
  3. 2
  4. 17
Show answer

Answer: A

$y = 3(4) - 5 = 12 - 5 = 7$.

10. Which relation is NOT a function?

  1. One-to-Many
  2. One-to-One
  3. Many-to-One
  4. None of the above
Show answer

Answer: A

A One-to-Many relation is not a function because one input value produces multiple output values.
