1

If b = 6 and x = -1, what is the value of b(b - x)?

69% Answer Correctly
42
-360
-196
324

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.)

b(b - x)
1(6)(6 + 1)
1(6)(7)
(6)(7)
42


2

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

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 + a2

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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

Simplify (y - 9)(y + 1)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 10y + 9
y2 + 8y - 9
y2 - 8y - 9
y2 + 10y + 9

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:

(y - 9)(y + 1)
(y x y) + (y x 1) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x 1)
y2 + y - 9y - 9
y2 - 8y - 9

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

70% Answer Correctly
49π
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


5

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

50% Answer Correctly

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

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


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).
