1

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

52% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

4π r2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.


2

Solve for b:
3b - 9 > \( \frac{b}{9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b > 3\(\frac{3}{5}\)
b > 3\(\frac{3}{26}\)
b > -\(\frac{20}{29}\)
b > -\(\frac{8}{9}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

3b - 9 > \( \frac{b}{9} \)
9 x (3b - 9) > b
(9 x 3b) + (9 x -9) > b
27b - 81 > b
27b - 81 - b > 0
27b - b > 81
26b > 81
b > \( \frac{81}{26} \)
b > 3\(\frac{3}{26}\)


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, -4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 -3. 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, -2) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3


4

What is 9a9 + 9a9?

74% Answer Correctly
0
81a18
18a9
18a18

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.

9a9 + 9a9 = 18a9


5

If the area of this square is 49, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) = 7

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 72
c2 = 98
c = \( \sqrt{98} \) = \( \sqrt{49 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{49} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 7\( \sqrt{2} \)
