Solve for b:
b2 + 2b - 48 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
9 or -3
7 or -1
6 or -8
-1 or -4

Solution

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

b2 + 2b - 48 = 0
(b - 6)(b + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 6) or (b + 8) must equal zero:

If (b - 6) = 0, b must equal 6
If (b + 8) = 0, b must equal -8

So the solution is that b = 6 or -8


2

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 12?

71% Answer Correctly
38π
24π
12π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 12π


3

4

What is 2a - 7a?

79% Answer Correctly
9
14a
14a2
-5a

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

2a - 7a = -5a


5

If side x = 12cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 10cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
26cm
24cm
32cm
35cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 10cm + 10cm = 32cm
