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

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π r

c = π d

c = π d2
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.

3

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

84% Answer Correctly

Last

First

Inside

Odd
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

Simplify (y + 7)(y - 5)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 12y + 35
y2 + 12y + 35
y2 + 2y - 35
y2 - 2y - 35
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 + 7)(y - 5)
(y x y) + (y x -5) + (7 x y) + (7 x -5)
y2 - 5y + 7y - 35
y2 + 2y - 35

5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

all interior angles are right angles

the area is length x width

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides
Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
