Simplify (y - 7)(y - 1)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 6y - 7
y2 - 6y - 7
y2 + 8y + 7
y2 - 8y + 7

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 7)(y - 1)
(y x y) + (y x -1) + (-7 x y) + (-7 x -1)
y2 - y - 7y + 7
y2 - 8y + 7


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral and isosceles

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and right

isosceles and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

What is 5a9 + 4a9?

75% Answer Correctly
1
9a9
9
a918

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.

5a9 + 4a9 = 9a9


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 4?

69% Answer Correctly
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{4}{2} \)
r = 2
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π
