What is 7a + 8a?

81% Answer Correctly
15a2
-1
a2
15a

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.

7a + 8a = 15a


2

If a = 3, b = 1, c = 2, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
13
26
20
14

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 1 + 2 + 7
p = 13


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 2) and (2, 6). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
2
1
-1

Solution

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, 6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1


4

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

monomial

polynomial

binomial


Solution

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