Solve for z:
z2 - 2z - 35 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-8 or -9
-5 or -8
-5 or 7
8 or -3

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 2z - 35 = 0
(z + 5)(z - 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 5) or (z - 7) must equal zero:

If (z + 5) = 0, z must equal -5
If (z - 7) = 0, z must equal 7

So the solution is that z = -5 or 7


2

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

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

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.


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

binomial

polynomial


Solution

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


4

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

radius

circumference

chord


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).


5

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

radius

diameter

chord

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).
