tan(45°) equals:

  1. ∞
  2. 0
  3. 1
  4. √3
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 1

We have tan(45°) = sin(45°)/cos(45°). That is tan(45°) = (1/√2)/(1/√2). So tan(45°) = 1.

For 3 sets A, B, C: n(A ∪ B ∪ C) =

  1. Random
  2. Σn(individual) - Σn(pairs) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C)
  3. n(A) + n(B) + n(C)
  4. n(A) × n(B) × n(C)
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Σn(individual) - Σn(pairs) + n(A ∩ B ∩ C)

**Inclusion-exclusion for 3 sets:** n(A∪B∪C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A∩B) - n(A∩C) - n(B∩C) + n(A∩B∩C). Generalizes to n sets with alternating signs.

The square of any odd integer, when divided by 8, leaves remainder

  1. 3
  2. 5
  3. 0
  4. 1
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. 1

An odd integer is $2k+1$; its square is $4k(k+1)+1$. Since $k(k+1)$ is even, $4k(k+1)$ is a multiple of 8, so the square is $\equiv 1 \pmod 8$.
