Simplify (6a)(8ab) + (6a2)(6b).

66% Answer Correctly
168ab2
84ab2
-12a2b
84a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(6a)(8ab) + (6a2)(6b)
(6 x 8)(a x a x b) + (6 x 6)(a2 x b)
(48)(a1+1 x b) + (36)(a2b)
48a2b + 36a2b
84a2b


2

If a = c = 8, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
10
25
40
24

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 3
a = 24


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

92% Answer Correctly

y-axis

x-axis

all of these

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 5). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

42% Answer Correctly
y = x + 3
y = x - 1
y = 3x - 4
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 3. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x + 3
