This diagram represents two parallel lines with a transversal. If c° = 34, what is the value of x°?

73% Answer Correctly
146
14
159
39

Solution

For parallel lines with a transversal, the following relationships apply:

  • angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°)
  • alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°)
  • all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other
  • same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°)

Applying these relationships starting with c° = 34, the value of x° is 146.

Factor y2 + y - 30

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 5)(y + 6)
(y + 5)(y + 6)
(y + 5)(y - 6)
(y - 5)(y - 6)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -30 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 1. For this problem, those two numbers are -5 and 6. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + y - 30
y2 + (-5 + 6)y + (-5 x 6)
(y - 5)(y + 6)


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

Solve for x:
x - 2 > \( \frac{x}{-5} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
x > -1\(\frac{31}{33}\)
x > -\(\frac{2}{7}\)
x > -1\(\frac{11}{43}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

x - 2 > \( \frac{x}{-5} \)
-5 x (x - 2) > x
(-5 x x) + (-5 x -2) > x
-5x + 10 > x
-5x + 10 - x > 0
-5x - x > -10
-6x > -10
x > \( \frac{-10}{-6} \)
x > 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

chord

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
