1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

binomial

quadratic

polynomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

Simplify (2a)(5ab) - (4a2)(8b).

63% Answer Correctly
-22a2b
22ab2
42ab2
84ab2

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.

(2a)(5ab) - (4a2)(8b)
(2 x 5)(a x a x b) - (4 x 8)(a2 x b)
(10)(a1+1 x b) - (32)(a2b)
10a2b - 32a2b
-22a2b


3

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c - a


Solution

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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


4

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Last

Odd

Inside

First


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


5

If a = 5, b = 7, c = 9, and d = 1, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
29
21
22
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 7 + 9 + 1
p = 22
