1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 4, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 8. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
96
90
200
35

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 4 x 3 x 8
v = 96


2

Solve for z:
z2 + 6z + 5 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
2 or -9
7 or -3
6 or -4
-1 or -5

Solution

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

z2 + 6z + 5 = 0
(z + 1)(z + 5) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 1) or (z + 5) must equal zero:

If (z + 1) = 0, z must equal -1
If (z + 5) = 0, z must equal -5

So the solution is that z = -1 or -5


3

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

91% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

pairs

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.)


4

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


5

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

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

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, -6) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (-6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2
