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

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

normalizing

squaring

deconstructing


Solution

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


2

Simplify 2a x 7b.

85% Answer Correctly
14\( \frac{b}{a} \)
14\( \frac{a}{b} \)
9ab
14ab

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.

2a x 7b = (2 x 7) (a x b) = 14ab


3

Solve -8a + 6a = -3a + 5x + 4 for a in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
x - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
x - 5
\(\frac{1}{5}\)x - \(\frac{4}{5}\)
-\(\frac{4}{11}\)x - \(\frac{5}{11}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-8a + 6x = -3a + 5x + 4
-8a = -3a + 5x + 4 - 6x
-8a + 3a = 5x + 4 - 6x
-5a = -x + 4
a = \( \frac{-x + 4}{-5} \)
a = \( \frac{-x}{-5} \) + \( \frac{4}{-5} \)
a = \(\frac{1}{5}\)x - \(\frac{4}{5}\)


4

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

4π r2

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

triangle

quadrilateral

rhombus

trapezoid


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
