Math & Logic Trivia: sample questions

Answer in your head, then tap to check. In the game you type it.

  1. easy

    What is 3 cubed (3 x 3 x 3)?

    Show answer

    27

    A cubed number is called that because it equals the volume of a cube whose sides are that length.

  2. easy

    What is the name of the mathematical rule stating that, in a right triangle, the square of the longest side equals the sum of the squares of the other two sides?

    Show answer

    Pythagorean theorem

    Whole-number solutions like 3-4-5 that satisfy this equation are called Pythagorean triples.

  3. medium

    What statistical measure, symbolized by the Greek letter sigma, describes how spread out data values are from the mean?

    Show answer

    Standard deviation

    Standard deviation is simply the square root of another common measure of spread called the variance.

  4. medium

    What is the largest prime number that has only one digit?

    Show answer

    7

    The prime numbers below ten are 2, 3, 5, and 7, making 7 the largest single-digit prime.

  5. hard

    In linear algebra, what single scalar value, computed from a square matrix's entries, tells you the matrix is invertible whenever it is nonzero?

    Show answer

    Determinant

    A matrix with a determinant of zero is called singular, meaning it squashes space down a dimension and can never be undone by an inverse transformation.
