Question : If $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$, then what is the value of $x^{21}+\frac{1}{x^{1331}}$?
Option 1: 0
Option 2: 1
Option 3: 2
Option 4: 4
Correct Answer: 2
Solution : Given: $x+\frac{1}{x}=2$ Put the value of $x$ = 1. $1+\frac{1}{1}=1+1=2$ So the value of $x$ is 1. Now put the value of $x$ in = $x^{21}+\frac{1}{x^{1331}}$ = $1^{21}+\frac{1}{1^{1331}}$ = $1+1$ = $2$ Hence, the correct answer is 2.
Question : What is the reflection of the point (–0.5, 6) on the x-axis?
Option 1: (0.5, – 6)
Option 2: (– 6, – 0.5)
Option 3: (6, – 0.5)
Option 4: (– 0.5, – 6)
Correct Answer: (– 0.5, – 6)
Solution : The image of the point (– 0.5, 6) when reflected in the x-axis is (– 0.5, – 6)
When a point is reflected in the x-axis, the sign of the y-coordinate changes. Hence, the correct answer is (– 0.5, – 6).
