Q:

What does the judicial branch do?

Answer

The United States government has 3 branches, which all serve an important role in running the government and keeping our system of laws in place.


 


1. The legislative branch


2. The executive branch 


3. The judicial branch


 


The legislative branch makes the laws while the executive branch enforces these laws. 


The judicial branch is a system of courts that applies the laws.


 


Both the federal government and each of the 5 states have individual judicial branches which all serve this purpose.


 


For example :: 


If the federal government were like a basketball game, the judicial branch is much like the referee that helps settle disputes. The executive branch and the legislative branch are often like the players in the game trying to score points against each other, and the judicial branch is there to clarify the rules and make sure each side is acting fairly.

Q:

I am a 5 letter word.

I am normally below you. If you remove my 1st letter, you'll find me above you. If you remove my 1st & 2nd letters, you can't see me.

What am I?

Answer

Firstly, I focussed on "If you remove my 1st & 2nd letters, you can't see me". The first thing that comes to mind which we can’t see is the "AIR".


 


So now, what 4 letter words can be formed ending with "AIR"? Think of all the words from A to Z, considering which one lies above you. That is how we get to "HAIR".


 


Now, which 5 letter word can be formed ending with "HAIR"? Starting with A to Z, we reach "CHAIR" and also, it lies below us.


 


And the required answer is "CHAIR".

Q:

(3x + 2) (2x - 5) = ax² + kx + n. What is the value of  a - n + k ?

A) 4 B) 1
C) 5 D) 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5

Explanation:

(3x + 2) (2x - 5) = ax2+kx+n ...............(1)

 

But (3x + 2)(2x - 5) = 6x2-11x-10........(2)

 

so by comparing (1) & (2),

 

we get a= 6, k= -11 , n= -10

 

(a - n + k) = 6 + 10 - 11 = 5.
