Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


2

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

88% Answer Correctly
12
25
18
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 3 + 1 + 3
p = 12


3

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

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


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

division

pairs

exponents

addition


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


5

If side a = 9, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{97} \)
\( \sqrt{73} \)
\( \sqrt{40} \)
\( \sqrt{162} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 92
c2 = 81 + 81
c2 = 162
c = \( \sqrt{162} \)
