Simplify 5a x 6b.

86% Answer Correctly
11ab
30\( \frac{a}{b} \)
30ab
30\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

5a x 6b = (5 x 6) (a x b) = 30ab


2

Factor y2 + 10y + 21

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 3)(y + 7)
(y + 3)(y + 7)
(y - 3)(y - 7)
(y + 3)(y - 7)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 21 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 10. For this problem, those two numbers are 3 and 7. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 10y + 21
y2 + (3 + 7)y + (3 x 7)
(y + 3)(y + 7)


3

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

67% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

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.


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, 0). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -2x + 0
y = 2x + 4
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = x - 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

4

3

2

5


Solution

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