1

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

addition

division


Solution

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.)


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, -7) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


4

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

equation

expression

problem

formula


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

diameter

circumference

radius


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).
