Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

What is 4a3 + 5a3?

76% Answer Correctly
a36
-1
9a3
-a6

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.

4a3 + 5a3 = 9a3


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 4?

70% Answer Correctly
81π
16π
64π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


4

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

3

5

4


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.


5

If side a = 6, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
10
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{50} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 82
c2 = 36 + 64
c2 = 100
c = \( \sqrt{100} \)
c = 10
