On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% 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).


2

Solve for b:
3b - 6 > 6 - 7b

55% Answer Correctly
b > -4
b > -\(\frac{5}{9}\)
b > 1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
b > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)

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.

3b - 6 > 6 - 7b
3b > 6 - 7b + 6
3b + 7b > 6 + 6
10b > 12
b > \( \frac{12}{10} \)
b > 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)


3

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

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

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


4

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


5

Solve for x:
-x - 5 > \( \frac{x}{1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
x > 2
x > -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
x > -1\(\frac{7}{17}\)
x > -2\(\frac{4}{7}\)

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