1

Solve for z:
z2 - 7z + 6 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
5 or -5
9 or -6
7 or 6
1 or 6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 7z + 6 = 0
(z - 1)(z - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 1) or (z - 6) must equal zero:

If (z - 1) = 0, z must equal 1
If (z - 6) = 0, z must equal 6

So the solution is that z = 1 or 6


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

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

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

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


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.


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

trisects

bisects


Solution

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.


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

89% Answer Correctly

y-axis

origin

all of these

x-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
