1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

monomial

binomial

quadratic

polynomial


Solution

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


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

54% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

4π r2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

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

91% Answer Correctly

addition

division

exponents

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.)


4

What is 6a + 5a?

81% Answer Correctly
30a
11a2
11a
11

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 + 5a = 11a


5

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

the lengths of all sides are equal

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
