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

75% Answer Correctly

normalizing

squaring

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

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


2

Solve -4b + b = 4b + 2y - 3 for b in terms of y.

35% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{8}\)y + \(\frac{3}{8}\)
2\(\frac{2}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
17y - 2
\(\frac{9}{13}\)y + \(\frac{2}{13}\)

Solution

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

-4b + y = 4b + 2y - 3
-4b = 4b + 2y - 3 - y
-4b - 4b = 2y - 3 - y
-8b = y - 3
b = \( \frac{y - 3}{-8} \)
b = \( \frac{y}{-8} \) + \( \frac{-3}{-8} \)
b = -\(\frac{1}{8}\)y + \(\frac{3}{8}\)


3

What is 6a + 9a?

81% Answer Correctly
15
15a2
a2
15a

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.

6a + 9a = 15a


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

92% Answer Correctly

exponents

division

addition

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
24π
36π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 4)
v = 4π
