100 Question from Math
Simplify the square root of 48
100 Answer from Math
What is 4 root 3?
Solution – 43 = 4*4*4 = 16*4=48
200 Question from Math
Solve the equation 7a + 3 = 5a – 3a + 8
200 Answer from Math
What is a = 1?
Solution of 7a + 3 = 5a – 3a + 8
7a – 5a + 3a = 8 – 3
5a = 5
a = 5/5 = 1
300 Question from Math
Let f(x) = x3, and g(x) = x – 2
What is f(g(x))
300 Answer from Math

400 Question from Math
Multiply 7 – 4i and 10 + 6i
400 Answer from Math
What is 94 + 2i ?
Solution for Multiply 7 – 4i and 10 + 6i
(7 – 4i)(10 + 6i)
70 + 42i-40i – 24i2
70 + 2i – 24i2
500 Question from Math
Solve the system of equations:
y = x2 – 5x + 1
x+y+2=0
500 Answer from Math
What is (x + 4)(x – 1) = 0 ?
or
What is x2 – 4x + 3 = 0?
solution:
y = x2 – 5x + 1
-y =
x+2
0 = x2 – 4x + 3
