Multiple Choice Questions: Python Functions for Mathematical Calculations

📚 Quick Study Guide: Python Math Functions

• 💡 The `math` module in Python provides access to many standard mathematical functions and constants.
• ✔️ `math.sqrt(x)`: Returns the square root of `$x$`. For example, `math.sqrt(9)` is `$3.0$`.
• 🔢 `math.pow(x, y)`: Returns `$x$` raised to the power of `$y$`. Equivalent to `$x^y$`. For instance, `math.pow(2, 3)` is `$8.0$`.
• ⬇️ `math.floor(x)`: Returns the largest integer less than or equal to `$x$`. Example: `math.floor(4.7)` is `$4$`, `math.floor(-3.2)` is `$-4$`.
• ⬆️ `math.ceil(x)`: Returns the smallest integer greater than or equal to `$x$`. Example: `math.ceil(4.1)` is `$5$`, `math.ceil(-3.9)` is `$-3$`.
• 📏 `math.fabs(x)`: Returns the absolute value of `$x$` as a float. Similar to `abs()` but always returns a float. Example: `math.fabs(-5)` is `$5.0$`.
• 📈 `math.log(x, base)`: Returns the logarithm of `$x$` to the given `base`. If `base` is not specified, it defaults to the natural logarithm (base `$e$`). Example: `math.log(100, 10)` is `$2.0$`.
• 📐 Trigonometric Functions: `math.sin(x)`, `math.cos(x)`, `math.tan(x)` take `radians` as input. `math.radians(degrees)` converts an angle from degrees to radians.
• 🌐 `math.pi`: The mathematical constant `$\pi$` (approximately `$3.14159$`).
• 📊 `math.e`: The mathematical constant `$e$` (approximately `$2.71828$`).
