1

Simplify (y - 2)(y + 3)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 5y + 6
y2 - 5y + 6
y2 - y - 6
y2 + y - 6

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 2)(y + 3)
(y x y) + (y x 3) + (-2 x y) + (-2 x 3)
y2 + 3y - 2y - 6
y2 + y - 6


2

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

68% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


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

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

circumference

radius

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).


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 8) and (2, -4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
-1
-3

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, 8) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (8.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3


5

If a = 9, b = 5, c = 4, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
14
12
23
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 5 + 4 + 5
p = 23
