1

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

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

π r2h

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.


2

What is 4a5 + 8a5?

76% Answer Correctly
12a5
12a10
-4
12

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.

4a5 + 8a5 = 12a5


3

Solve for y:
-4y - 1 = \( \frac{y}{-9} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{13}{36}\)
10
\(\frac{40}{41}\)
-\(\frac{9}{35}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-4y - 1 = \( \frac{y}{-9} \)
-9 x (-4y - 1) = y
(-9 x -4y) + (-9 x -1) = y
36y + 9 = y
36y + 9 - y = 0
36y - y = -9
35y = -9
y = \( \frac{-9}{35} \)
y = -\(\frac{9}{35}\)


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -4) and (2, 6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = -3x - 3
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3
y = x + 0

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. 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, -4) and (2, 6) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (-4.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1


5

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 8?

70% Answer Correctly
81π
16π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{8}{2} \)
r = 4
a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π
