Simplify (7a)(3ab) - (7a2)(5b).

62% Answer Correctly
120a2b
120ab2
-14a2b
56ab2

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.

(7a)(3ab) - (7a2)(5b)
(7 x 3)(a x a x b) - (7 x 5)(a2 x b)
(21)(a1+1 x b) - (35)(a2b)
21a2b - 35a2b
-14a2b


2

If b = -2 and z = 7, what is the value of -5b(b - z)?

69% Answer Correctly
315
-90
72
120

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-5b(b - z)
-5(-2)(-2 - 7)
-5(-2)(-9)
(10)(-9)
-90


3

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

chord

radius

circumference

diameter


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).


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 3?

70% Answer Correctly
16π
36π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


5

If side a = 8, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{45} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 92
c2 = 64 + 81
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)
