1

Simplify (y + 8)(y - 9)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 - 17y + 72
y2 + 17y + 72
y2 + y - 72
y2 - y - 72

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 8)(y - 9)
(y x y) + (y x -9) + (8 x y) + (8 x -9)
y2 - 9y + 8y - 72
y2 - y - 72


2

Solve for z:
-8z - 1 > -5 + 4z

54% Answer Correctly
z > 1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
z > \(\frac{1}{7}\)
z > -2\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z > \(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

-8z - 1 > -5 + 4z
-8z > -5 + 4z + 1
-8z - 4z > -5 + 1
-12z > -4
z > \( \frac{-4}{-12} \)
z > \(\frac{1}{3}\)


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 4. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
64π
224π
256π
112π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(42) + 2π(4 x 4)
sa = 2π(16) + 2π(16)
sa = (2 x 16)π + (2 x 16)π
sa = 32π + 32π
sa = 64π


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

binomial

polynomial


Solution

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


5

Solve for c:
-3c + 1 = -1 - 8c

58% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{5}{7}\)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-1

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-3c + 1 = -1 - 8c
-3c = -1 - 8c - 1
-3c + 8c = -1 - 1
5c = -2
c = \( \frac{-2}{5} \)
c = -\(\frac{2}{5}\)
