Simplify 9a x 8b.

86% Answer Correctly
72a2b2
72\( \frac{a}{b} \)
72ab
17ab

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 x 8b = (9 x 8) (a x b) = 72ab


2

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

bisects

midpoints

intersects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 0). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = x + 4
y = 2x + 2
y = \(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = 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 -1. 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, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

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


4

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


5

If AD = 28 and BD = 18, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
13
10
9
18

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 28 - 18
AB = 10
