1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
392π
245π
128π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 1)
v = 4π


2

What is 4a + 8a?

81% Answer Correctly
12
-4
32a2
12a

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.

4a + 8a = 12a


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -7). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x - 3
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4

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 -4. 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, -1) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4


4

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

polynomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

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


5

What is 5a - 6a?

79% Answer Correctly
11
-1a
30a
-a2

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.

5a - 6a = -1a
