Solve for c:
c2 - 8c + 16 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
7 or 6
7 or -3
6 or -9
4

Solution

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

c2 - 8c + 16 = 0
(c - 4)(c - 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, (c - 4) must equal zero:

If (c - 4) = 0, c must equal 4

So the solution is that c = 4


2

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

lw x wh + lh

2lw x 2wh + 2lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


3

What is 7a8 + 9a8?

75% Answer Correctly
-2a16
16a8
a816
63a16

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.

7a8 + 9a8 = 16a8


4

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

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


5

If a = 1, b = 7, c = 2, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
14
27
12

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 7 + 2 + 2
p = 12
