If a = 4 and x = 2, what is the value of 5a(a - x)?
| 56 | |
| 24 | |
| 40 | |
| -351 |
To solve this equation, 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.)
5a(a - x)
5(4)(4 - 2)
5(4)(2)
(20)(2)
40
What is 4a - 7a?
| 28a2 | |
| -3a | |
| -3 | |
| 11a2 |
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.
4a - 7a = -3a
Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:
squaring |
|
factoring |
|
deconstructing |
|
normalizing |
To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?
c2 - a2 |
|
c - a |
|
a2 - c2 |
|
c2 + a2 |
The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
|
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
|
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
