Question 1 of 3 · No calculator needed
Which conclusion follows deductively from the assumption that n is divisible by 6?
If n is divisible by 6, n = 6k = 3(2k) for some integer k. Hence n is divisible by 3.

Question 2 of 3 · No calculator needed
Rationalise 4/(3 - √5).
Multiply by (3 + √5)/(3 + √5). The denominator is 9 - 5 = 4, so the expression becomes 4(3 + √5)/4 = 3 + √5.
Question 3 of 3 · No calculator needed
Simplify sin x/(1 + cos x) by rationalising the trigonometric denominator.
Multiply by (1-cos x)/(1-cos x). This gives sin x(1-cos x)/sin²x = (1-cos x)/sin x = tan(x/2).
These tiles show your answers to three questions. They are a starting point, not a mastery score or grade prediction.
Proof
Correct answer: n is divisible by 3
If n is divisible by 6, n = 6k = 3(2k) for some integer k. Hence n is divisible by 3.
Algebra and functions
Correct answer: 3 + √5
Multiply by (3 + √5)/(3 + √5). The denominator is 9 - 5 = 4, so the expression becomes 4(3 + √5)/4 = 3 + √5.
Trigonometry
Correct answer: tan(x/2)
Multiply by (1-cos x)/(1-cos x). This gives sin x(1-cos x)/sin²x = (1-cos x)/sin x = tan(x/2).
For parents: look at the explanation together. A correct answer is encouraging; a missed answer gives you something specific to work on. Broader practice over time is needed to understand progress.
