1

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

67% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2


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.


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 7, c = 7, d = 2, and h = 3. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
9
20
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
13\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(7 + 2)(3)
a = ½(9)(3)
a = ½(27) = \( \frac{27}{2} \)
a = 13\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

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

all of these statements are correct


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.


5

Solve for z:
-9z - 7 < 6 - 6z

54% Answer Correctly
z < -4\(\frac{1}{3}\)
z < 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
z < \(\frac{4}{9}\)
z < -\(\frac{3}{5}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

-9z - 7 < 6 - 6z
-9z < 6 - 6z + 7
-9z + 6z < 6 + 7
-3z < 13
z < \( \frac{13}{-3} \)
z < -4\(\frac{1}{3}\)
