Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

deconstructing

factoring

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 8. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
294π
125π
245π
576π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 9)
v = 576π


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 4. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
104π
10π
216π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(42) + 2π(4 x 9)
sa = 2π(16) + 2π(36)
sa = (2 x 16)π + (2 x 36)π
sa = 32π + 72π
sa = 104π


4

Solve for b:
b2 - 13b + 74 = 4b + 2

48% Answer Correctly
7 or -3
-2 or -9
3 or -3
8 or 9

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

b2 - 13b + 74 = 4b + 2
b2 - 13b + 74 - 2 = 4b
b2 - 13b - 4b + 72 = 0
b2 - 17b + 72 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

b2 - 17b + 72 = 0
(b - 8)(b - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b - 8) or (b - 9) must equal zero:

If (b - 8) = 0, b must equal 8
If (b - 9) = 0, b must equal 9

So the solution is that b = 8 or 9

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

radius

diameter

circumference


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).
