Solve for c:
c2 - 4c - 5 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-1 or 5
6 or -4
-6 or -7
-2 or -6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

c2 - 4c - 5 = 0
(c + 1)(c - 5) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 1) or (c - 5) must equal zero:

If (c + 1) = 0, c must equal -1
If (c - 5) = 0, c must equal 5

So the solution is that c = -1 or 5


2

If side x = 11cm, side y = 14cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
37cm
34cm
27cm
38cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 11cm + 14cm + 9cm = 34cm


3

Simplify 6a x 5b.

86% Answer Correctly
30a2b2
11ab
30\( \frac{b}{a} \)
30ab

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 x 5b = (6 x 5) (a x b) = 30ab


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

radius

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

chord

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
