Simplify (4a)(3ab) - (5a2)(4b).

62% Answer Correctly
-8a2b
63a2b
32ab2
63ab2

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.

(4a)(3ab) - (5a2)(4b)
(4 x 3)(a x a x b) - (5 x 4)(a2 x b)
(12)(a1+1 x b) - (20)(a2b)
12a2b - 20a2b
-8a2b


2

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

quadratic

binomial

monomial


Solution

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


3

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
9
180
90
20

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 3 x 3 x 1
v = 9


5
