On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

chord

diameter

circumference

radius


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).

Find the value of c:
-5c + x = 2
-c + 4x = -1

42% Answer Correctly
-4\(\frac{1}{11}\)
-2\(\frac{7}{13}\)
-\(\frac{27}{29}\)
-\(\frac{9}{19}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of x:

-5c + x = 2
x = 2 + 5c

then substitute the result (2 - -5c) into the second equation:

-c + 4(2 + 5c) = -1
-c + (4 x 2) + (4 x 5c) = -1
-c + 8 + 20c = -1
-c + 20c = -1 - 8
19c = -9
c = \( \frac{-9}{19} \)
c = -\(\frac{9}{19}\)


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x + 1
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 2. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2


4

If side x = 12cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 7cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
32cm
27cm
30cm
19cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 11cm + 7cm = 30cm


5

Simplify (3a)(4ab) + (3a2)(5b).

66% Answer Correctly
56ab2
3ab2
56a2b
27a2b

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.

(3a)(4ab) + (3a2)(5b)
(3 x 4)(a x a x b) + (3 x 5)(a2 x b)
(12)(a1+1 x b) + (15)(a2b)
12a2b + 15a2b
27a2b
