1

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

triangle

trapezoid

rhombus

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


2

Simplify (2a)(7ab) - (9a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
135a2b
68ab2
-40a2b
68a2b

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.

(2a)(7ab) - (9a2)(6b)
(2 x 7)(a x a x b) - (9 x 6)(a2 x b)
(14)(a1+1 x b) - (54)(a2b)
14a2b - 54a2b
-40a2b


3

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

parallel

right angle

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

deconstructing

squaring

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
