Simplify 2a x 5b.

85% Answer Correctly
10ab
7ab
10a2b2
10\( \frac{b}{a} \)
Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

2a x 5b = (2 x 5) (a x b) = 10ab

2

What is 8a - 3a?

79% Answer Correctly
5a2
11
5a
24a
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.

8a - 3a = 5a

3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

deconstructing

normalizing
Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.

4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)

5

If a = c = 3, b = d = 6, and the blue angle = 60°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
16
12
18
54
Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 6
a = 18
