Question 1: In a complex number written in algebraic form $z = a + bi$, the term $bi$ is defined as the imaginary part of the complex number.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: According to the study materials, for a complex number $z = a + bi$, $a$ is called the real part and $b$ is called the imaginary part. The term $bi$ itself is not defined as the imaginary part; $b$ is the imaginary part.

Question 2: Compute the division of complex numbers: $(2 + 3\mathrm{i}) / (1 + \mathrm{i})$

A. $\frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{i}$

B. $\frac{1}{2} + \frac{5}{2}\mathrm{i}$

C. $\frac{5}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{i}$

D. $2 - 3\mathrm{i}$

Explanation: To compute the division of complex numbers, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the conjugate of the denominator. The denominator is $1 + \mathrm{i}$, so its conjugate is $1 - \mathrm{i}$. First, calculate the numerator: $(2 + 3\mathrm{i})(1 - \mathrm{i}) = 2 \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot (-\mathrm{i}) + 3\mathrm{i} \cdot 1 + 3\mathrm{i} \cdot (-\mathrm{i}) = 2 - 2\mathrm{i} + 3\mathrm{i} - 3\mathrm{i}^2 = 2 + \mathrm{i} - 3(-1) = 2 + \mathrm{i} + 3 = 5 + \mathrm{i}$. Next, calculate the denominator: $(1 + \mathrm{i})(1 - \mathrm{i}) = 1^2 - (\mathrm{i})^2 = 1 - (-1) = 1 + 1 = 2$. Finally, combine the results: $(5 + \mathrm{i}) / 2 = \frac{5}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\mathrm{i}$.

Question 3: The formula for the surface area of a cube with edge length 'a' is S = a³.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: According to the study materials, the formula for the surface area of a cube with edge length 'a' is S = 6a², not S = a³.

Question 4: A cylinder has a base radius of 3 cm and a height of 5 cm. What is its total surface area?

A. 30π cm²

B. 18π cm²

C. 48π cm²

D. 54π cm²

Explanation: According to the study materials, the total surface area of a cylinder is given by the formula S_total = 2πrh + 2πr². Given radius r = 3 cm and height h = 5 cm, we substitute these values into the formula: S_total = 2π(3)(5) + 2π(3)² = 30π + 2π(9) = 30π + 18π = 48π cm².

Question 5: Probability Theory is the mathematical branch that quantifies uncertain phenomena.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: Probability Theory is defined as the mathematical branch that studies and quantifies uncertain phenomena.
