Simplify (3a)(2ab) - (7a2)(2b).

62% Answer Correctly
-8a2b
45a2b
8ab2
20ab2

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)(2ab) - (7a2)(2b)
(3 x 2)(a x a x b) - (7 x 2)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) - (14)(a2b)
6a2b - 14a2b
-8a2b

If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

69% Answer Correctly

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


4

If a = 1, b = 1, c = 3, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
10
6
24

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 1 + 3 + 5
p = 10


5

Solve for b:
-8b + 3 < 5 - 7b

55% Answer Correctly
b < 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
b < 3
b < -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b < -2

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-8b + 3 < 5 - 7b
-8b < 5 - 7b - 3
-8b + 7b < 5 - 3
-b < 2
b < \( \frac{2}{-1} \)
b < -2
