What is 3a - 4a?
| 7a2 | |
| -1 | |
| a2 | |
| -1a |
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
3a - 4a = -1a
If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.
midpoints |
|
bisects |
|
intersects |
|
trisects |
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.
For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
a2 - c2 |
|
c - a |
|
c2 + a2 |
|
c2 - a2 |
The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
normalizing |
|
factoring |
|
squaring |
|
deconstructing |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?
pairs |
|
exponents |
|
division |
|
addition |
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.)
