Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?
all of these statements are correct |
|
you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents |
|
you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
|
you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
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.
If a = -6 and y = -6, what is the value of -9a(a - y)?
| 0 | |
| 24 | |
| 672 | |
| -30 |
To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
-9a(a - y)
-9(-6)(-6 + 6)
-9(-6)(0)
(54)(0)
0
What is 9a4 + 6a4?
| 3a8 | |
| 15a4 | |
| 15 | |
| 54a8 |
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.
9a4 + 6a4 = 15a4
A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.
triangle |
|
quadrilateral |
|
rhombus |
|
trapezoid |
A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
squaring |
|
deconstructing |
|
normalizing |
|
factoring |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
