1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
128π
49π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 7)
v = 7π


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

Solve for y:
y2 - 5y + 6 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
7 or -5
2 or 3
3 or -7
3 or -1

Solution

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

y2 - 5y + 6 = 0
(y - 2)(y - 3) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 2) or (y - 3) must equal zero:

If (y - 2) = 0, y must equal 2
If (y - 3) = 0, y must equal 3

So the solution is that y = 2 or 3


4

Simplify (7a)(8ab) + (3a2)(9b).

66% Answer Correctly
-29a2b
29ab2
29a2b
83a2b

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.

(7a)(8ab) + (3a2)(9b)
(7 x 8)(a x a x b) + (3 x 9)(a2 x b)
(56)(a1+1 x b) + (27)(a2b)
56a2b + 27a2b
83a2b


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 6, b = 4, c = 9, d = 9, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
16\(\frac{1}{2}\)
13
12
26

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(4 + 9)(4)
a = ½(13)(4)
a = ½(52) = \( \frac{52}{2} \)
a = 26
