1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

binomial

monomial

quadratic

polynomial


Solution

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


2

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 8?

70% Answer Correctly
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{8}{2} \)
r = 4
a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


3

If the area of this square is 9, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) = 3

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 32
c2 = 18
c = \( \sqrt{18} \) = \( \sqrt{9 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{9} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 3\( \sqrt{2} \)


4

What is 2a2 - 9a2?

74% Answer Correctly
18a4
a24
18a2
-7a2

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.

2a2 - 9a2 = -7a2


5

If a = c = 5, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
27
10
8
24

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 2
a = 10
