1

If b = -9 and z = -2, what is the value of 5b(b - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
100
-72
315
18

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

5b(b - z)
5(-9)(-9 + 2)
5(-9)(-7)
(-45)(-7)
315


2

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

What is 3a3 + 8a3?

75% Answer Correctly
-5
-5a6
11a3
24a6

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.

3a3 + 8a3 = 11a3


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -10) and (2, 2). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1
-2
3

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, -10) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (-10.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3


5

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

π r2h2

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
