Simplify (5a)(8ab) - (5a2)(7b).

62% Answer Correctly
156a2b
75ab2
5a2b
156ab2

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)(8ab) - (5a2)(7b)
(5 x 8)(a x a x b) - (5 x 7)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) - (35)(a2b)
40a2b - 35a2b
5a2b


2

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2


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.


3

Solve for c:
c2 + 16c + 78 = -2c - 3

48% Answer Correctly
-9
2 or -4
-6 or -9
6 or 5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

c2 + 16c + 78 = -2c - 3
c2 + 16c + 78 + 3 = -2c
c2 + 16c + 2c + 81 = 0
c2 + 18c + 81 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

c2 + 18c + 81 = 0
(c + 9)(c + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, (c + 9) must equal zero:

If (c + 9) = 0, c must equal -9

So the solution is that c = -9


4

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

52% Answer Correctly

quadrilateral

triangle

rhombus

trapezoid


Solution

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


5

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

75% Answer Correctly

squaring

factoring

deconstructing

normalizing


Solution

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