Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?
slope |
|
y-intercept |
|
x-intercept |
|
\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\) |
A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
c2 - a2 |
|
c - a |
|
a2 - c2 |
|
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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.
equal angle |
|
right angle |
|
equal length |
|
parallel |
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
factoring |
|
normalizing |
|
deconstructing |
|
squaring |
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?
addition |
|
exponents |
|
pairs |
|
division |
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.)
