Simplify (8a)(5ab) - (9a2)(5b).

62% Answer Correctly
5ab2
182ab2
-5a2b
182a2b

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.

(8a)(5ab) - (9a2)(5b)
(8 x 5)(a x a x b) - (9 x 5)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) - (45)(a2b)
40a2b - 45a2b
-5a2b


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

53% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
48π
729π
256π
18π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 3)
v = 48π


4

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d

a = π r2

a = 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.


5

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

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

division

pairs


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.)
