Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

factoring

normalizing

deconstructing

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


2

If AD = 30 and BD = 28, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
20
7
2
18

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 30 - 28
AB = 2


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-2
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
3

Solution

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, 3) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

Solve 7a + 6a = 2a - 2x - 4 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)x - \(\frac{4}{5}\)
5\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{3}{5}\)x - \(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{7}{18}\)x + \(\frac{1}{18}\)

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.

7a + 6x = 2a - 2x - 4
7a = 2a - 2x - 4 - 6x
7a - 2a = -2x - 4 - 6x
5a = -8x - 4
a = \( \frac{-8x - 4}{5} \)
a = \( \frac{-8x}{5} \) + \( \frac{-4}{5} \)
a = -1\(\frac{3}{5}\)x - \(\frac{4}{5}\)


5

If a = 3, b = 4, c = 4, and d = 8, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
16
21
18

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 4 + 4 + 8
p = 19
