Instant Remedial Maths Test

Up: Home > Question Bank

This will let you rapidly create and print out a test (with answer sheet) made from questions with random parameters. First, choose some question types.

Question Type	Example	Select
Multiply out the following expressions	(2x² − 5x + 10)(2x + 7)
Find the maximum value of each quadratic and the x value at which it occurs	y = 9 + 8x − 8x²
Solve the following simultaneous equations	4y − 3x = 8; x − y = 5
Find the graph of the following straight lines in the form y=ax + b	The line passing through (7, −1) and (−3, 2)
Solve the following quadratics by factorising	3x² + 29x + 56 = 0
Find the x co-ordinates of the stationary points on the following equations	y = x³ + 7x² + 16x + 9
Simplify the following into a single quadratic and then solve by factorising	2x² + 10x − 21 = 5x + 4
Find the area under these curves between the two x values	y = 2x² + x − 5 between x=3 and x=5
