1

Simplify (y + 3)(y + 8)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 + 11y + 24
y2 - 11y + 24
y2 - 5y - 24
y2 + 5y - 24

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:

(y + 3)(y + 8)
(y x y) + (y x 8) + (3 x y) + (3 x 8)
y2 + 8y + 3y + 24
y2 + 11y + 24


2

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add 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.


4

If the base of this triangle is 1 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)
4
60
60\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 1 x 8 = \( \frac{8}{2} \) = 4


5

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

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
