1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
112π
486π
72π
49π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 7)
v = 112π


2

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
90
4
15
60

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 4 = \( \frac{8}{2} \) = 4


3

Solve for c:
c2 - 10c + 24 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
8 or -5
8 or -1
4 or 6
9 or 4

Solution

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

c2 - 10c + 24 = 0
(c - 4)(c - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c - 4) or (c - 6) must equal zero:

If (c - 4) = 0, c must equal 4
If (c - 6) = 0, c must equal 6

So the solution is that c = 4 or 6


4

Solve for y:
y2 + 21y + 58 = 5y - 5

49% Answer Correctly
-6 or -9
-7 or -9
1 or -5
3 or -7

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

y2 + 21y + 58 = 5y - 5
y2 + 21y + 58 + 5 = 5y
y2 + 21y - 5y + 63 = 0
y2 + 16y + 63 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

y2 + 16y + 63 = 0
(y + 7)(y + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 7) or (y + 9) must equal zero:

If (y + 7) = 0, y must equal -7
If (y + 9) = 0, y must equal -9

So the solution is that y = -7 or -9


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1
