1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

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


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

all of these

y-axis

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

What is 6a + 4a?

81% Answer Correctly
24a
24a2
10a
2a2

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.

6a + 4a = 10a


4

If angle a = 22° and angle b = 26° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
111°
158°
140°
144°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 22° - 26° = 132°

So, d° = 26° + 132° = 158°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 22° = 158°


5

Solve 5c + 8c = -5c + z - 4 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\)z - 3
-1\(\frac{2}{3}\)z + 1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{7}{8}\)z - \(\frac{5}{8}\)
-\(\frac{7}{10}\)z - \(\frac{2}{5}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

5c + 8z = -5c + z - 4
5c = -5c + z - 4 - 8z
5c + 5c = z - 4 - 8z
10c = -7z - 4
c = \( \frac{-7z - 4}{10} \)
c = \( \frac{-7z}{10} \) + \( \frac{-4}{10} \)
c = -\(\frac{7}{10}\)z - \(\frac{2}{5}\)
