Solve for z:
z2 - 5z - 46 = -4z - 4

48% Answer Correctly
-6 or -9
7 or 3
8 or 5
-6 or 7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 - 5z - 46 = -4z - 4
z2 - 5z - 46 + 4 = -4z
z2 - 5z + 4z - 42 = 0
z2 - z - 42 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - z - 42 = 0
(z + 6)(z - 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 6) or (z - 7) must equal zero:

If (z + 6) = 0, z must equal -6
If (z - 7) = 0, z must equal 7

So the solution is that z = -6 or 7


2

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2


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.


3

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

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

triangle

rhombus

quadrilateral


Solution

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


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = 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.


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

quadratic

monomial

polynomial

binomial


Solution

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