2. Twice the square of a number
Ans. 2 x 2
3. The square of the sum of two numbers
Ans. (x + y)2
4. The sum of the squares of two numbers
Ans. x2 + y2
5. A number less by three
Ans. x - 3
6. Twice of a number added by four
Ans. 2x + 4
7. The cube of a number less than five
Ans. 5 − x3
8. The area of a rectangle whose length is seven more than its width
A = w(w + 7)
Ans. A = w2 + 7w
9. The difference of a square of two numbers
Ans. x2 −y2
10. The quotient of the sum of two numbers by another number
x+y
Ans. z
B.
1. Tell whether the following is true or false: (5 points)
a. Empty set is also called a unit set.
Ans. False
b. { ∅ } is an empty set.
Ans. True
c. A set with two elements has 2 subsets.
Ans. False
d. Equivalent set is also an equal set.
Ans. False
e. Counting number is an example of a finite set.
Ans. True

2. List down all the subsets of a set (5 points)

 A = { a, b, c, d }.
Ans. {}; {a}; {b};{c}; {d}; {a,b}; {a,c}; {a,d}; {b,c}; {b,d}; {c,d}; {a,b,c}; {a,b,d};
{a,c,d}; {b,c,d}; {a,b,c,d};
3. If A = {1,2,3} and B={i,o,u}, find A x B. (5 points)
Ans. A x B={(1, i), (1, o), (1, u), (2, i), (2, o), (2, u), (3, i), (3, o), (3, u)}
4. Find a and b if (2a-3, 5-b) = (-6a+1,-1) (5 points)
Solve for a :
(2a − 3) = (− 6a + 1)
2a − 3 = − 6a + 1
2a + 6a = 1 + 3
8a 4
8 = 8
1
a= 2

Solve for b :
(5 − b) = (− 1)
5−b=−1
5+1= b
b=6
Ans. a = 12 ; b = 6
