1

If BD = 25 and AD = 27, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
1
18
2
13

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 27 - 25
AB = 2


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 17?

71% Answer Correctly
26π
17π
12π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 17π


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π d2

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

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

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

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

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.

Simplify (2a)(5ab) - (7a2)(6b).

63% Answer Correctly
-32a2b
52ab2
91a2b
32ab2

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)(5ab) - (7a2)(6b)
(2 x 5)(a x a x b) - (7 x 6)(a2 x b)
(10)(a1+1 x b) - (42)(a2b)
10a2b - 42a2b
-32a2b
