Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


2

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d


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.


3

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

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 - a2


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

What is 3a7 - 4a7?

73% Answer Correctly
-1a7
a714
-1
7a14

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a7 - 4a7 = -1a7


5

Solve -7c - 7c = 4c - 4x - 5 for c in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{8}{11}\)x + \(\frac{8}{11}\)
-\(\frac{1}{6}\)x - \(\frac{2}{3}\)
-\(\frac{3}{11}\)x + \(\frac{5}{11}\)
-13x + 9

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-7c - 7x = 4c - 4x - 5
-7c = 4c - 4x - 5 + 7x
-7c - 4c = -4x - 5 + 7x
-11c = 3x - 5
c = \( \frac{3x - 5}{-11} \)
c = \( \frac{3x}{-11} \) + \( \frac{-5}{-11} \)
c = -\(\frac{3}{11}\)x + \(\frac{5}{11}\)
