Practice CAT Quadratic Equations in the app →The sample space of a single throw of a fair six-faced die isIf a fair coin is tossed once, the probability of getting a HEAD isA fair die is rolled. The probability of getting an ODD number isTwo fair dice are rolled. The probability that the SUM of the numbers showing is 7 isFor any two events $A$ and $B$, the probability of $A \cup B$ (A or B) is given byA card is drawn from a well-shuffled standard deck of 52 cards. The probability of drawing a KING isA fair die is rolled. The probability of getting a PRIME number isThree fair coins are tossed simultaneously. The probability of getting EXACTLY two heads isA card is drawn from a standard deck of 52. The probability that it is a KING or a QUEEN isIf $P(A) = 0.4$ and $P(B) = 0.5$ and $P(A \cap B) = 0.2$, then $P(A \cup B)$ isWhat is the probability that a randomly drawn card from a 52-card deck is a FACE CARD (King, Queen, or Jack)?Two events $A$ and $B$ are MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE ifTwo fair coins are tossed. The probability of getting AT LEAST ONE head isIf the probability that a student passes a CAT mock test is $0.6$, what is the probability that the student FAAn equation p(x) = 0 where p is a polynomial of degree 2 is called a:The standard form of such an equation is written as:In that standard form, the one restriction placed on the coefficient a is that it is:The scholar credited with deriving the quadratic formula around 1025 CE was:The expression b squared minus 4ac is called the equation's:If that expression is greater than zero, the equation has:If that expression equals zero, the equation has:If that expression is less than zero, the equation has:For the equation 2x squared minus 5x plus 3 equals 0, the discriminant is:Because that discriminant is positive, the equation 2x squared minus 5x plus 3 equals 0 has:The roots of 2x squared minus 5x plus 3 equals 0 are:For the equation 6x squared minus x minus 2 equals 0, the discriminant is:The roots of 6x squared minus x minus 2 equals 0 are:For the equation x squared plus 4x minus 5 equals 0, the discriminant is:The roots of x squared plus 4x minus 5 equals 0 are:A method that rewrites the equation so one side becomes a perfect square is called:The values of x that satisfy a quadratic equation are called its:The roots of a quadratic equation are the same as the zeroes of the corresponding:A number of toys problem leads to 2x squared plus x minus 300 equals 0. Its discriminant is:Because 2401 is the square of 49, that equation has roots that are:Which two methods of solving quadratic equations are worked through in the examples?Before applying any solving method, an equation must first be written in its:Two expressions joined by a less-than or greater-than sign form an:Statements such as 3 less than 5 and 7 greater than 5 are examples of:Statements such as x less than 5 and y greater than 2 are examples of:A statement like 3 less than x less than 5 is called a:Inequalities using only the strict signs, without an equals part, are called:Inequalities that also allow equality are called:Adding the same number to both sides of an inequality:Multiplying both sides of an inequality by the same positive number:Multiplying or dividing both sides by a negative number means the sign of the inequality is:Solving 30x less than 200 gives x less than:When x must be a natural number, the solutions of 30x less than 200 are:How many natural number solutions does 30x less than 200 have?When x may be any integer, the solutions of 30x less than 200 include:Solving 5x minus 3 less than 3x plus 1 gives:When x is an integer in that inequality, the largest solution is:When x is a real number in that inequality, the solution set is written as:Solving 4x plus 3 less than 6x plus 7 gives:The set of all values of the variable that make an inequality true is called its:Unless stated otherwise, inequalities in that chapter are solved over the set of:Which sign makes a statement an inequality rather than an equation?A firm needing at least 6 units and at most 10 would write that as a:The study of inequalities is described as useful in solving problems in science and:
