1

If a = 1 and z = -4, what is the value of 8a(a - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
44
-60
40
315

Solution

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.)

8a(a - z)
8(1)(1 + 4)
8(1)(5)
(8)(5)
40


2

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°.


3

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


4

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

First

Inside

Last

Odd


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.


5

Simplify (8a)(7ab) - (2a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
-44ab2
120a2b
68ab2
44a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(8a)(7ab) - (2a2)(6b)
(8 x 7)(a x a x b) - (2 x 6)(a2 x b)
(56)(a1+1 x b) - (12)(a2b)
56a2b - 12a2b
44a2b
