1

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


2

Find the value of a:
-7a + x = -1
5a - 9x = 1

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{16}{23}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
1\(\frac{5}{14}\)
\(\frac{4}{29}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-7a + x = -1
x = -1 + 7a

then substitute the result (-1 - -7a) into the second equation:

5a - 9(-1 + 7a) = 1
5a + (-9 x -1) + (-9 x 7a) = 1
5a + 9 - 63a = 1
5a - 63a = 1 - 9
-58a = -8
a = \( \frac{-8}{-58} \)
a = \(\frac{4}{29}\)


3

Simplify (4a)(7ab) - (7a2)(3b).

62% Answer Correctly
110a2b
7a2b
49ab2
-7ab2

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)(7ab) - (7a2)(3b)
(4 x 7)(a x a x b) - (7 x 3)(a2 x b)
(28)(a1+1 x b) - (21)(a2b)
28a2b - 21a2b
7a2b


4

Solve for c:
c2 + 9c + 14 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-2 or -7
1 or -6
2 or -1
7 or -8

Solution

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

c2 + 9c + 14 = 0
(c + 2)(c + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 2) or (c + 7) must equal zero:

If (c + 2) = 0, c must equal -2
If (c + 7) = 0, c must equal -7

So the solution is that c = -2 or -7


5

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.
