Solutions to Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs)
1. The area of a circle as a function of its radius is:
Correct answer: (B) pi * r^2
Explanation: The formula for the area of a circle with radius r is A = pi * r^2.
2. Which of the following is the correct identity?
Correct answer: (A) sinh(2x) = 2 sinh(x) cosh(x)
Explanation: The hyperbolic sine double-angle formula is sinh(2x) = 2 sinh(x) cosh(x).
3. If f(x) is a function such that f(-x) = f(x), then f(x) is called:
Correct answer: (B) Even function
Explanation: An even function satisfies f(-x) = f(x).
4. A function defined by f(x) = x^2 is:
Correct answer: (A) Even function
Explanation: f(-x) = (-x)^2 = x^2 = f(x), so it is an even function.
5. The parametric equations x = a cos(t), y = 2a sin(t) represent a:
Correct answer: (D) Ellipse
Explanation: The equation (x/a)^2 + (y/2a)^2 = 1 is the equation of an ellipse.
6. The domain of f(x) = 2 + sqrt(x - 1) is:
Correct answer: (C) [1, infinity)
Explanation: The square root function is defined when x - 1 >= 0, which gives x >= 1.
7. A function defined by f(x) = x^2 is:
Correct answer: (C) Even function
Explanation: Already proven in Question 4.
8. If f(x) = cos(x), then f(0) is:
Correct answer: (D) 1
Explanation: cos(0) = 1.
9. 2 sinh(x) is equal to:
Correct answer: (C) 2 (e^x - e^(-x)) / 2
Explanation: The definition of hyperbolic sine is sinh(x) = (e^x - e^(-x)) / 2.
