Simplify (6a)(7ab) + (9a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
12a2b
195ab2
96a2b
-12a2b

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.

(6a)(7ab) + (9a2)(6b)
(6 x 7)(a x a x b) + (9 x 6)(a2 x b)
(42)(a1+1 x b) + (54)(a2b)
42a2b + 54a2b
96a2b

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

58% Answer Correctly

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


4

Factor y2 + 10y + 24

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 4)(y + 6)
(y + 4)(y - 6)
(y + 4)(y + 6)
(y - 4)(y - 6)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 24 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 10. For this problem, those two numbers are 4 and 6. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 10y + 24
y2 + (4 + 6)y + (4 x 6)
(y + 4)(y + 6)


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
