1

Solve for z:
z2 - 3z + 2 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
8 or 2
1 or 2
6 or -4
4 or 3

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 3z + 2 = 0
(z - 1)(z - 2) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 1) or (z - 2) must equal zero:

If (z - 1) = 0, z must equal 1
If (z - 2) = 0, z must equal 2

So the solution is that z = 1 or 2


2

What is 2a5 - 2a5?

74% Answer Correctly
0a5
a510
4
0

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.

2a5 - 2a5 = 0a5


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 9?

71% Answer Correctly
30π
18π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 9)
c = 18π


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
28
24

168

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 3 x 2
v = 24


5

If angle a = 65° and angle b = 20° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
112°
151°
154°
115°

Solution

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° - 65° - 20° = 95°

So, d° = 20° + 95° = 115°

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° - 65° = 115°
