1

Factor y2 + 9y + 18

53% Answer Correctly
(y + 3)(y - 6)
(y - 3)(y - 6)
(y + 3)(y + 6)
(y - 3)(y + 6)

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 18 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 9. For this problem, those two numbers are 3 and 6. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 9y + 18
y2 + (3 + 6)y + (3 x 6)
(y + 3)(y + 6)


2

If a = c = 6, b = d = 1, and the blue angle = 79°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
16
49
6
32

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 6 x 1
a = 6


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 4). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 18?

71% Answer Correctly
18π
16π
11π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 18π


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
