Simplify (y + 2)(y - 4)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 2y - 8
y2 + 6y + 8
y2 - 2y - 8
y2 - 6y + 8

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 2)(y - 4)
(y x y) + (y x -4) + (2 x y) + (2 x -4)
y2 - 4y + 2y - 8
y2 - 2y - 8


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
486π
112π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 1)
v = 4π


3

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

slope

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

bisects

midpoints

intersects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

Solve -5b + 3b = -6b + 2y + 7 for b in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - \(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{3}{5}\)y + \(\frac{1}{2}\)
-y + 7
\(\frac{5}{6}\)y - \(\frac{5}{6}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-5b + 3y = -6b + 2y + 7
-5b = -6b + 2y + 7 - 3y
-5b + 6b = 2y + 7 - 3y
b = -y + 7
