Simplify (y - 4)(y - 8)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 4y - 32
y2 - 12y + 32
y2 + 12y + 32
y2 - 4y - 32
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 - 4)(y - 8)
(y x y) + (y x -8) + (-4 x y) + (-4 x -8)
y2 - 8y - 4y + 32
y2 - 12y + 32

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 2. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
270
150
192
82
Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 8 x 2) + (2 x 2 x 8) + (2 x 8 x 8)
sa = (32) + (32) + (128)
sa = 192

3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height
Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).

Inside

Odd

Last

First
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.

5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 8. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
32π
320π
24π
144π
Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 5)
v = 320π
