Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
factoring |
|
deconstructing |
|
squaring |
|
normalizing |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
What is 2a + 2a?
| 0 | |
| a2 | |
| 4a2 | |
| 4a |
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
2a + 2a = 4a
For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
a2 - c2 |
|
c2 + a2 |
|
c2 - a2 |
|
c - a |
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, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?
addition |
|
exponents |
|
pairs |
|
division |
When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)
Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?
the area is length x width |
|
all interior angles are right angles |
|
the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides |
|
the lengths of all sides are equal |
A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
