1. Expand (x + 2)². What is the coefficient of x?
- a5
- b2
- c4
- d3
Show solution
Answer: 4
(x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a².
The middle term is 2·a·x = 4x.
2. Solve for x: √(3x + 64) = 7
- a-6
- b5
- c-4
- d-5
Show solution
Answer: -5
Square both sides to remove the root, then isolate x. Since the right side is already ≥ 0 here, squaring introduces no extraneous root, but always check that the expression under the root is ≥ 0 for your solution.
Square both sides: 3x + 64 = 7² = 49. x = (49 − 64) / 3 = -5. Check: 3(-5) + 64 = 49 = 7², and √49 = 7 ✓.
3. Expand (x + 2)². What is the coefficient of x?
- a4
- b2
- c5
- d3
Show solution
Answer: 4
(x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a².
The middle term is 2·a·x = 4x.
