What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 11?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
16π
22π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 11)
c = 22π


2

What is 6a + 5a?

81% Answer Correctly
11a
30a
30a2
11a2

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 + 5a = 11a


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

If the area of this square is 64, what is the length of one of the diagonals?

68% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{2} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To find the diagonal we need to know the length of one of the square's sides. We know the area and the area of a square is the length of one side squared:

a = s2

so the length of one side of the square is:

s = \( \sqrt{a} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) = 8

The Pythagorean theorem defines the square of the hypotenuse (diagonal) of a triangle with a right angle as the sum of the squares of the other two sides:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 82
c2 = 128
c = \( \sqrt{128} \) = \( \sqrt{64 x 2} \) = \( \sqrt{64} \) \( \sqrt{2} \)
c = 8\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

Factor y2 - 3y - 4

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 4)(y - 1)
(y - 4)(y - 1)
(y - 4)(y + 1)
(y + 4)(y + 1)

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 -4 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -3. For this problem, those two numbers are -4 and 1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 3y - 4
y2 + (-4 + 1)y + (-4 x 1)
(y - 4)(y + 1)
