1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

quadratic

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

If side x = 5cm, side y = 10cm, and side z = 8cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
30cm
34cm
33cm
23cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 5cm + 10cm + 8cm = 23cm


3

Simplify (6a)(9ab) + (9a2)(4b).

65% Answer Correctly
195a2b
90ab2
90a2b
-18ab2

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)(9ab) + (9a2)(4b)
(6 x 9)(a x a x b) + (9 x 4)(a2 x b)
(54)(a1+1 x b) + (36)(a2b)
54a2b + 36a2b
90a2b


4

Solve for y:
-9y - 9 = \( \frac{y}{-3} \)

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{34}\)
1\(\frac{29}{34}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{26}\)
-2\(\frac{2}{35}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

-9y - 9 = \( \frac{y}{-3} \)
-3 x (-9y - 9) = y
(-3 x -9y) + (-3 x -9) = y
27y + 27 = y
27y + 27 - y = 0
27y - y = -27
26y = -27
y = \( \frac{-27}{26} \)
y = -1\(\frac{1}{26}\)


5

Simplify 2a x 2b.

86% Answer Correctly
4ab
4\( \frac{b}{a} \)
4\( \frac{a}{b} \)
4a2b2

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.

2a x 2b = (2 x 2) (a x b) = 4ab
