What is 9a7 - 8a7?

73% Answer Correctly
1a7
17
17a14
1

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.

9a7 - 8a7 = 1a7


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


3

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

88% Answer Correctly

division

exponents

addition

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

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π d

a = π d2

a = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


5

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

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

trisects

intersects

bisects


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.
