1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

monomial

binomial

polynomial

quadratic


Solution

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


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

origin

all of these

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 8. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
84π
96π
104π
160π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 2)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(16)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 16)π
sa = 128π + 32π
sa = 160π


4

Solve for a:
a2 - 4a + 3 = 0

57% Answer Correctly
2 or 2
4 or -2
1 or 3
3 or -1

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

a2 - 4a + 3 = 0
(a - 1)(a - 3) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 1) or (a - 3) must equal zero:

If (a - 1) = 0, a must equal 1
If (a - 3) = 0, a must equal 3

So the solution is that a = 1 or 3


5

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 6?

70% Answer Correctly
36π
18π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 6π
