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

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

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


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

Simplify 8a x 3b.

86% Answer Correctly
11ab
24a2b2
24ab
24\( \frac{b}{a} \)

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

8a x 3b = (8 x 3) (a x b) = 24ab


4

If angle a = 67° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
85°
118°
68°
74°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 67° - 39° = 74°


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
