Simplify (y + 9)(y - 8)

64% 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 + 9)(y - 8)
(y x y) + (y x -8) + (9 x y) + (9 x -8)
y2 - 8y + 9y - 72
y2 + y - 72

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 15?

71% Answer Correctly
8π
2π
15π
28π
Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 15π

3

If b = 3 and y = -8, what is the value of 3b(b - y)?

69% Answer Correctly
105
40
99
-15
Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

3b(b - y)
3(3)(3 + 8)
3(3)(11)
(9)(11)
99

4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 8, length (l) = 9, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
30
72
270
56
Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 8 x 9 x 1
v = 72

5

If the base of this triangle is 6 and the height is 7, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
36
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)
21
35
Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 6 x 7 = \( \frac{42}{2} \) = 21
