  1. 1. Evaluate: log_2(4)

    • a2
    • b1
    • c3
    • d4
    Show solution

    Answer: 2

    log_b(x) asks: to what power must b be raised to get x?

    2^2 = 4, so log_2(4) = 2.

  2. 2. Solve |x − 1| = 6. What is the sum of the two solutions?

    • a1
    • b12
    • c2
    • d3
    Show solution

    Answer: 2

    |x − a| = b has two solutions, a + b and a − b, symmetric about a; their sum is 2a.

    x = 1 + 6 or x = 1 − 6, i.e. x = 7 or x = -5. Sum = 2.

  3. 3. Solve for x: 2(x + 3) − 9 = 2x − 3

    • a-4
    • b5
    • c-6
    • d-5
    Show solution

    Answer: -5

    Expand, collect x-terms on one side, constants on the other, divide.

    Expand: 2x + 6 − 9 = 2x − 3, then isolate x.
