1

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

88% Answer Correctly

addition

pairs

exponents

division


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.)


2

If a = 8, b = 3, c = 1, and d = 7, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
15
27
21
19

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 3 + 1 + 7
p = 19


3

Factor y2 - 3y - 28

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 7)(y - 4)
(y - 7)(y + 4)
(y + 7)(y + 4)
(y + 7)(y - 4)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -28 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -3. For this problem, those two numbers are -7 and 4. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 3y - 28
y2 + (-7 + 4)y + (-7 x 4)
(y - 7)(y + 4)


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

isosceles and right

equilateral and right

equilateral and isosceles


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


5

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

binomial

quadratic

polynomial

monomial


Solution

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