83% Answer Correctly

monomial

binomial

quadratic

polynomial


Solution

2

If BD = 24 and AD = 29, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
3
15
14
5

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 29 - 24
AB = 5


3

Solve for c:
c2 + 5c - 39 = 4c + 3

48% Answer Correctly
6 or -7
6 or -8
7 or -5
-5 or -9

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:

c2 + 5c - 39 = 4c + 3
c2 + 5c - 39 - 3 = 4c
c2 + 5c - 4c - 42 = 0
c2 + c - 42 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

c2 + c - 42 = 0
(c - 6)(c + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c - 6) or (c + 7) must equal zero:

If (c - 6) = 0, c must equal 6
If (c + 7) = 0, c must equal -7

So the solution is that c = 6 or -7

91% Answer Correctly

4

5

3

2


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

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

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2


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.
