Simplify (5a)(5ab) + (9a2)(7b).

66% Answer Correctly
-38a2b
88a2b
-38ab2
88ab2

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.

(5a)(5ab) + (9a2)(7b)
(5 x 5)(a x a x b) + (9 x 7)(a2 x b)
(25)(a1+1 x b) + (63)(a2b)
25a2b + 63a2b
88a2b


2

What is 5a5 + 4a5?

75% Answer Correctly
9
9a5
a510
20a10

Solution

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.

5a5 + 4a5 = 9a5


3

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Last

Inside

Odd

First


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


4

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2


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.


5

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

75% Answer Correctly

squaring

factoring

normalizing

deconstructing


Solution

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