1

If a = c = 5, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 55°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
14
10
8
12

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 2
a = 10


2

If a = c = 3, b = d = 5, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
9
54
15
45

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 5
a = 15


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

Solve for c:
-c - 4 > -3 + 9c

55% Answer Correctly
c > -\(\frac{1}{10}\)
c > 1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
c > \(\frac{2}{3}\)
c > 3

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-c - 4 > -3 + 9c
-c > -3 + 9c + 4
-c - 9c > -3 + 4
-10c > 1
c > \( \frac{1}{-10} \)
c > -\(\frac{1}{10}\)


5

Factor y2 + 3y - 28

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 4)(y + 7)
(y + 4)(y - 7)
(y - 4)(y - 7)
(y + 4)(y + 7)

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 -28 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 3. For this problem, those two numbers are -4 and 7. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 3y - 28
y2 + (-4 + 7)y + (-4 x 7)
(y - 4)(y + 7)
