Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

diameter

circumference

chord


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).


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 10?

71% Answer Correctly
17π
16π
24π
20π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 10)
c = 20π


5

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

division

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
