Solve for y:
y2 + 4y - 21 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
3 or 1
3 or -7
8 or -5
6 or -4
Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

y2 + 4y - 21 = 0
(y - 3)(y + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 3) or (y + 7) must equal zero:

If (y - 3) = 0, y must equal 3
If (y + 7) = 0, y must equal -7

So the solution is that y = 3 or -7

2

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

360°

180°

45°
Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.

3

If side x = 6cm, side y = 14cm, and side z = 11cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
29cm
34cm
31cm
36cm
Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 14cm + 11cm = 31cm
