What is 4a - 3a?

79% Answer Correctly
12a
7a2
1a
7

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.

4a - 3a = 1a


2

Simplify 9a x 5b.

85% Answer Correctly
45\( \frac{b}{a} \)
45ab
45\( \frac{a}{b} \)
45a2b2

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.

9a x 5b = (9 x 5) (a x b) = 45ab


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

y-axis

all of these

origin


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.


4

Simplify (3a)(8ab) - (8a2)(6b).

59% Answer Correctly
72a2b
154a2b
-24a2b
72ab2

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.

(3a)(8ab) - (8a2)(6b)
(3 x 8)(a x a x b) - (8 x 6)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) - (48)(a2b)
24a2b - 48a2b
-24a2b


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 8. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
240π
272π
182π
224π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(82) + 2π(8 x 7)
sa = 2π(64) + 2π(56)
sa = (2 x 64)π + (2 x 56)π
sa = 128π + 112π
sa = 240π
