Generated by the same engine as the Kollego course, at a level close to the entrance math. Pick an answer in your head, then open the solution.

  1. 1. Evaluate: log_3(9)

    • a4
    • b3
    • c1
    • d2
    Show solution

    Answer: 2

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

    3^2 = 9, so log_3(9) = 2.

  2. 2. Solve for x: √(2x + 37) = 7

    • a6
    • b7
    • c-6
    • d5
    Show solution

    Answer: 6

    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: 2x + 37 = 7² = 49. x = (49 − 37) / 2 = 6. Check: 2(6) + 37 = 49 = 7², and √49 = 7 ✓.

  3. 3. A circle has radius 4. An arc on the circle subtends a central angle of 270°. What is the arc length, expressed as a multiple of π? (e.g. an arc length of 3π has answer 3)

    • a5.0
    • b6.0
    • c67.5
    • d7.0
    Show solution

    Answer: 6.0

    Arc length = (θ/360) × 2πr.

    (270/360) × 2π×4 = 6π.
