What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

69% Answer Correctly
25π
64π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


2

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

76% Answer Correctly

formula

problem

equation

expression


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.


3

Factor y2 - y - 30

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 6)(y - 5)
(y + 6)(y - 5)
(y - 6)(y + 5)
(y + 6)(y + 5)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -30 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -1. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and 5. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - y - 30
y2 + (-6 + 5)y + (-6 x 5)
(y - 6)(y + 5)


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

division

addition

pairs

exponents


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


5

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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