GED Math Practice Test 2019

Answer all the multiple-choice questions in this section.

1.) If a = 3, the value of a2– 2  is

  • (A) 7
  • (B) -7
  • (C) 9
  • (D) -9
Show Answers & Solution

Answer: A. 7
Explanation: Substituting the value of a as 3 in  a2– 2 so  32– 2 = 9 – 2 =7

2.) A line 3y = 2x + 6 is shown below.

The y intercept of the line is:

  • (A) 2/3
  • (B) -2/3
  • (C) 2
  • (D) -2
Show Answers & Solution

Answer: C. 2
Explanation: This point will always have an x coordinate of zero. In the equation 3y = 2x + 6 , the y -intercept is the solution to the equation when x = 0. Substituting the value of x as 3 in 3y = 2x + 6,

3.) Which ordered pair represents ƒ (3) = –5?

  • (A) (–5, 3)
  • (B) (–3, 5)
  • (C) (3, –5)
  • (D) (5, –3)
Show Answers & Solution

Answer: C. (3, –5)
Explanation: In general, f ( x ) = y Compare: f ( 3 ) = –5 We can say that x = 3 and y = –5, Recall ordered pair is  written as (x, y) Thus,(3, –5).

4. Which of the following lines has a zero gradient?

GED Math Practice Test Question 4
Show Answers & Solution

Answer: C.

GED Math Practice Test Question 4 Solution

5.) The domain of the graph shown below is

GED Math Practice Test Question 5

  • (A) {y = 2, y ∈ R}
  • (B) {x = 2, x ∈ R }
  • (C) {x ≥ 2, x ∈ R}
  • (D) {x ≤ 2, x ∈ R }
Show Answers & Solution

Answer: (B) {x = 2, x ∈ R }
Explanation: Domain represents the x values. In this case, x is only at the value 2, Thus {x = 2, x∈R }

6.) What is the value of x in the equation: 3x – 5 = 10?

  • (A) 2
  • (B) 3
  • (C) 4
  • (D) 5
Show Answers & Solution

Answer:(D) 5
Explanation: Solve for the x value:
3x – 5 = 10
3x – 5 + 5 = 10 + 5
3x = 15
3𝑥/3= 15/3
x=5

7.) The values of x that make the equation x² – 4 = 0 true, are

  • (A) {–2, 2}
  • (B) {–2, 0}
  • (C) {0, 2}
  • (D) {– 4, 4}
Show Answers & Solution

Answer:(A) {–2, 2}
Explanation: Solve for the x value:
x² – 4 = 0
x² – 4 + 4 = 0 + 4
x² = 4
√x² = ±√4
x = – 2 ,+2 

8.) √9x² is equal to

  • (A) 6x²
  • (B) 9x
  • (C) 3x²
  • (D) 3x
Show Answers & Solution

Answer:(D)  3x
Explanation: Use law of Surds
√ab=√a × √b
Simplify √9x²
√9x²=√9 √x²
=3x

9. When simplified, the expression (2x – 3) – (x – 4) is

  • (A) x-7
  • (B) x+1
  • (C) x²+7
  • (D) x²-1

Answer:(D)  3x
Explanation

10.) 3x0 can be simplified to

  • (A) 0
  • (B) 1
  • (C) 2
  • (D) 3
Show Answers & Solution

Answer:(D)  3
Explanation: Index law: anything raise to power zero except zero is one 3x0
= 3 (1)
= 3 × 1
= 3

11.) The value of (4²)³ in base – index form is equal to

  • (A) 42
  • (B) 44
  • (C) 46
  • (D) 48
Show Answers & Solution
 Answer:(C) 46 Explanation: Index law: when a power is raise to another power, multiply the two powers
(4²)³ =42×3=4

12.) Which of the following expressions will give the value of the angle marked x in the diagram given below?

  • (A) sin x =18/17
  • (B) cos x =18/17
  • (C) sin x =15/17
  • (D) cos x =8/15
Show Answers & Solution
 Answer:(A) Expression SOH 

13.) In a triangle XYZ, which side is the hypotenuse?

  • (A) XY
  • (B) YZ
  • (C) XZ
  • (D) ZY
Show Answers & Solution
 Answer:(C) XZ
Explanation: Hypotenuse is the longest length, i.e. directly opposite of 90o. Thus, XZ

14.) A toy suitcase measures 8 cm long and 6 cm high. What is the diagonal length of the suitcase?

  • (A) 4 cm
  • (B) 6 cm
  • (C) 8 cm
  • (D) 10 cm
Show Answers & Solution
 Answer:(D) 10
Explanation: Pythagoras Theorem a²+b² = c² Substituting values
6²+8² = c²
c²= 36 + 64
c² = 100
c=10 

15. The perpendicular bisectors of the sides of a triangle meet at the point called

a× a× a×b×b
a¹× a¹× a¹×b¹×b¹
a1+1+1×b1+1
a³b²
