What is 5a + 3a?

81% Answer Correctly
8a2
8
15a2
8a

Solution

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.

5a + 3a = 8a


2

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

41% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

slope

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

quadratic

monomial


Solution

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


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
432
25
20
324

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 4 x 1
v = 20


5

If side x = 13cm, side y = 5cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
37cm
32cm
24cm
26cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 13cm + 5cm + 8cm = 26cm
