1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

binomial

polynomial

monomial


Solution

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


2

If side a = 3, side b = 6, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{85} \)
\( \sqrt{26} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 62
c2 = 9 + 36
c2 = 45
c = \( \sqrt{45} \)


3

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Odd

Inside

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.


4

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

bisects

midpoints

intersects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
