Question:

In an upcoming local election, the city council is deciding whether to implement a new public transportation system to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Citizens have expressed both support and opposition to this initiative. Supporters argue it will lead to a cleaner environment and more accessible city, while opponents believe the costs are too high and it may not be used enough to justify the investment. As a concerned citizen, deliberate on this issue by considering these opposing arguments. Develop a reasoned conclusion on whether the city should move forward with the new public transportation system.

✅ Answer:

A reasoned conclusion could be that the city should move forward with the new transportation system if the long-term environmental benefits and improved accessibility outweigh the initial costs, and if measures are in place to ensure its utilization. Alternatively, the city may decide against it if cost concerns and potential underuse present too great a risk.

💡 Explanation:

This question requires students to evaluate both sides of a public issue, consider the implications, and develop a well-reasoned conclusion.
Students should weigh the environmental and accessibility benefits against the financial costs and potential underuse risks, demonstrating high-level critical thinking and reasoning skills.

Question:

A scatter plot shows a set of data points that suggest a linear association. Which of the following best describes the process of fitting a linear function to this data?

Answer Choices:

A) Calculate the mean of all data points
B) Draw a straight line that best represents the data points
C) Connect all data points with a zigzag line
D) Find the median of the data points

✅ Answer:

Draw a straight line that best represents the data points

💡 Explanation:

Fitting a linear function to a scatter plot involves drawing a straight line that best represents the general trend of the data points.
This is often done using a method called 'least squares' to minimize the differences between the data points and the line.

Question:

Consider the vectors $\mathbf{u} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}$ . If these vectors are multiplied by scalars $a$ and $b$ respectively, select all transformations that correctly represent the resulting vectors when $a = 2$ and $b = -3$ .

Answer Choices:

A)
$A. The vector $ 2\mathbf{u}$ is $\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}$ and $-3\mathbf{v}$ is $\begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -12 \end{pmatrix}$ .$
B)
$B. The vector $ 2\mathbf{u}$ is $\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}$ and $-3\mathbf{v}$ is $\begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ 12 \end{pmatrix}$ .$
C)
$C. The vector $ -3\mathbf{u}$ is $\begin{pmatrix} -6 \\ -9 \end{pmatrix}$ and $2\mathbf{v}$ is $\begin{pmatrix} -2 \\ 8 \end{pmatrix}$ .$
D)
$D. The vector $ 2\mathbf{u}$ is $\begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}$ and $-3\mathbf{v}$ is $\begin{pmatrix} -3 \\ -12 \end{pmatrix}$ .$

✅ Answer:

B, D

💡 Explanation:

To multiply vector $\mathbf{u} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \end{pmatrix}$ by scalar $a = 2$ , you compute $2\mathbf{u} = \begin{pmatrix} 2 \times 2 \\ 2 \times 3 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ 6 \end{pmatrix}$ .
To multiply vector $\mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -1 \\ 4 \end{pmatrix}$ by scalar $b = -3$ , you compute $-3\mathbf{v} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 \times -1 \\ -3 \times 4 \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 3 \\ -12 \end{pmatrix}$ .
Hence, only options B and D represent the correct transformations.
