1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

Factor y2 - y - 42

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 7)(y - 6)
(y + 7)(y + 6)
(y - 7)(y + 6)
(y - 7)(y - 6)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -42 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -1. For this problem, those two numbers are -7 and 6. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - y - 42
y2 + (-7 + 6)y + (-7 x 6)
(y - 7)(y + 6)


4

If side x = 13cm, side y = 15cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
27cm
22cm
40cm
32cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 15cm + 12cm = 40cm


5

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

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

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


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).
