Simplify (y + 2)(y - 2)

63% Answer Correctly
28
y2 + 4y + 4
y2 - 4
y2 - 4y + 4

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 + 2)(y - 2)
(y x y) + (y x -2) + (2 x y) + (2 x -2)
y2 - 2y + 2y - 4
y2 - 4

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

83% Answer Correctly

Inside

Last

First

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.


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 1, and width (w) = 6. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
105
5
32
36

Solution

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

v = h x l x w
v = 6 x 1 x 6
v = 36
