To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Last

Odd

First

Inside


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.

Find the value of a:
-3a + x = 9
-7a - 7x = -6

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{28}\)
3
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of a so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-3a + x = 9
x = 9 + 3a

then substitute the result (9 - -3a) into the second equation:

-7a - 7(9 + 3a) = -6
-7a + (-7 x 9) + (-7 x 3a) = -6
-7a - 63 - 21a = -6
-7a - 21a = -6 + 63
-28a = 57
a = \( \frac{57}{-28} \)
a = -2\(\frac{1}{28}\)


3

If a = c = 4, b = d = 7, and the blue angle = 59°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
28
4
9
35

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 7
a = 28


4

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

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 + a2


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

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
