To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?
Inside |
|
First |
|
Odd |

Last |
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.
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -3) and (2, 7). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?
| y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4 | |
| y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2 | |
| y = x + 4 | |
| y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3 |
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 2. 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, -3) and (2, 7) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(7.0) - (-3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?
division |
|
addition |
|
exponents |
|
pairs |
When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
If angle a = 51° and angle b = 64° what is the length of angle d?
| 128° | |
| 116° | |
| 122° | |
| 129° |
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:
d° = b° + c°
To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 51° - 64° = 65°
So, d° = 64° + 65° = 129°
A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:
a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 51° = 129°
What is 3a8 - 7a8?
| 10 | |
| 10a16 | |
| -4a8 | |
| 21a8 |
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.
3a8 - 7a8 = -4a8
