1

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

87% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

division

addition


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

What is 6a9 + 7a9?

74% Answer Correctly
13a9
-1
13a18
42a18

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.

6a9 + 7a9 = 13a9


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

binomial

quadratic

monomial

polynomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

If a = c = 7, b = d = 8, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
4
16
56
9

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 8
a = 56


5

If angle a = 66° and angle b = 67° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
151°
159°
157°
114°

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° - 66° - 67° = 47°

So, d° = 67° + 47° = 114°

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° - 66° = 114°
