Simplify (6a)(3ab) + (8a2)(4b).

66% Answer Correctly
50a2b
14a2b
108ab2
108a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(6a)(3ab) + (8a2)(4b)
(6 x 3)(a x a x b) + (8 x 4)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (32)(a2b)
18a2b + 32a2b
50a2b


2

What is 4a + 4a?

81% Answer Correctly
8a
8
8a2
16a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

4a + 4a = 8a


3

What is 5a - 8a?

80% Answer Correctly
-3
-3a
13
-3a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

5a - 8a = -3a


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3
2

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 8. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
94
280
254
124

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 1 x 8) + (2 x 8 x 6) + (2 x 1 x 6)
sa = (16) + (96) + (12)
sa = 124
