1

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

Find the value of a:
a + z = -3
-4a - 3z = -4

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{9}{19}\)
\(\frac{48}{67}\)
13
2\(\frac{2}{19}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of z:

a + z = -3
z = -3 - a

then substitute the result (-3 - 1a) into the second equation:

-4a - 3(-3 - a) = -4
-4a + (-3 x -3) + (-3 x -a) = -4
-4a + 9 + 3a = -4
-4a + 3a = -4 - 9
-a = -13
a = \( \frac{-13}{-1} \)
a = 13


5

If angle a = 23° and angle b = 36° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
121°
60°
71°
84°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 23° - 36° = 121°
