1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
120π
20π
40π
100π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 9)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(9)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 9)π
sa = 2π + 18π
sa = 20π


2

Simplify (9a)(4ab) - (3a2)(9b).

62% Answer Correctly
63a2b
-9ab2
156ab2
9a2b

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.

(9a)(4ab) - (3a2)(9b)
(9 x 4)(a x a x b) - (3 x 9)(a2 x b)
(36)(a1+1 x b) - (27)(a2b)
36a2b - 27a2b
9a2b


3

What is 3a9 - 7a9?

73% Answer Correctly
-4
21a9
a918
-4a9

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.

3a9 - 7a9 = -4a9


4

If a = 4, b = 8, c = 2, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
22
17
19
15

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 8 + 2 + 3
p = 17


5

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

34% Answer Correctly
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)y - 4
1\(\frac{3}{7}\)y + \(\frac{4}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)y + 2
-\(\frac{7}{12}\)y + \(\frac{1}{3}\)

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.

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