1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

binomial

monomial

polynomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c - a


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

If a = 9, b = 9, c = 9, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
31
20
17
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 9 + 9 + 9 + 4
p = 31


4

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

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

factoring

deconstructing

normalizing


Solution

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


5

If a = c = 3, b = d = 7, and the blue angle = 79°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
64
63
6
21

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 7
a = 21
