1

Factor y2 + y - 6

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 2)(y - 3)
(y - 2)(y + 3)
(y + 2)(y + 3)
(y - 2)(y - 3)

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 -6 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 1. For this problem, those two numbers are -2 and 3. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + y - 6
y2 + (-2 + 3)y + (-2 x 3)
(y - 2)(y + 3)


2

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 5, c = 5, d = 5, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
9
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
15

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(5 + 5)(3)
a = ½(10)(3)
a = ½(30) = \( \frac{30}{2} \)
a = 15


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 9?

71% Answer Correctly
10π
13π
14π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 9π


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing

factoring


Solution

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


5

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
