Solve -8a - 2a = -6a - 4x - 2 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-2x + 2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
-\(\frac{2}{5}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{5}\)
x + 1
\(\frac{2}{3}\)x - \(\frac{1}{12}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-8a - 2x = -6a - 4x - 2
-8a = -6a - 4x - 2 + 2x
-8a + 6a = -4x - 2 + 2x
-2a = -2x - 2
a = \( \frac{-2x - 2}{-2} \)
a = \( \frac{-2x}{-2} \) + \( \frac{-2}{-2} \)
a = x + 1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
25π
24π
216π
75π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 6)
v = 24π


3

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

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

a2 - c2


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


4

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

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

4π r2

π r2h

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.


5

Factor y2 - 4y - 12

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 6)(y - 2)
(y - 6)(y + 2)
(y + 6)(y - 2)
(y + 6)(y + 2)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -12 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -4. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and 2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 4y - 12
y2 + (-6 + 2)y + (-6 x 2)
(y - 6)(y + 2)
