1

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

76% Answer Correctly

equation

formula

expression

problem


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.


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

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

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

all of these statements are correct


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.


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

factoring

deconstructing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
245π
75π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 8)
v = 8π


5

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

74% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

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