1

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

84% Answer Correctly

Odd

Last

Inside

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.


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, 0). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = -x + 1
y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = -x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 3. 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, 6) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
108
62
76
72

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 4 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 3) + (2 x 4 x 3)
sa = (48) + (36) + (24)
sa = 108


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

intersects

midpoints

bisects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

Find the value of c:
2c + y = 7
-3c - 5y = 2

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{16}{57}\)
5\(\frac{2}{7}\)
-\(\frac{19}{36}\)
1\(\frac{16}{31}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of y:

2c + y = 7
y = 7 - 2c

then substitute the result (7 - 2c) into the second equation:

-3c - 5(7 - 2c) = 2
-3c + (-5 x 7) + (-5 x -2c) = 2
-3c - 35 + 10c = 2
-3c + 10c = 2 + 35
7c = 37
c = \( \frac{37}{7} \)
c = 5\(\frac{2}{7}\)
