Worked practice questions

A "well-behaved" object in mathematics does what?

  1. It meets regularity rules
  2. It has no name at all
  3. It cannot be computed
  4. It is always a whole number
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. It meets regularity rules

1. A well-behaved object satisfies prevailing regularity properties or conforms to intuition. 2. It contrasts with a pathological object. 3. Having a name, being uncomputable or being whole are unrelated. _Source: Wikipedia, Glossary of mathematical jargon, Philosophy of mathematics_

What does the phrase "almost all" often shorten?

  1. All except a set of measure zero
  2. All except exactly one item
  3. Nearly half of the items
  4. Only the largest items
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. All except a set of measure zero

1. "Almost all" is shorthand for all except for a set of measure zero. 2. For example, almost all real numbers are transcendental. 3. It does not mean one item, half, or the largest. _Source: Wikipedia, Glossary of mathematical jargon, Descriptive informalities_

In the context of limits, "eventually" means what?

  1. For sufficiently large arguments
  2. For the smallest argument
  3. For a randomly chosen argument
  4. For no argument at all
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. For sufficiently large arguments

1. In limit statements, eventually is shorthand for sufficiently large arguments. 2. For example, log(log(x)) eventually becomes larger than 100. 3. Small, random or no arguments are not what it means. _Source: Wikipedia, Glossary of mathematical jargon, Descriptive informalities_
