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

75% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

deconstructing

normalizing


Solution

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


2

Solve for y:
y2 - 16y + 47 = -2y + 2

49% Answer Correctly
5 or 9
3 or -8
8 or -5
9 or 2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

y2 - 16y + 47 = -2y + 2
y2 - 16y + 47 - 2 = -2y
y2 - 16y + 2y + 45 = 0
y2 - 14y + 45 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

y2 - 14y + 45 = 0
(y - 5)(y - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 5) or (y - 9) must equal zero:

If (y - 5) = 0, y must equal 5
If (y - 9) = 0, y must equal 9

So the solution is that y = 5 or 9


3

If angle a = 60° and angle b = 61° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
64°
101°
63°
59°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 60° - 61° = 59°


4

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

diameter

chord

circumference

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 5, and width (w) = 9. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
270
8
108
504

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 5 x 9
v = 270
