What is 5a8 - 6a8?

74% Answer Correctly
-1a8
30a8
-1
-a16

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.

5a8 - 6a8 = -1a8


2

If a = c = 5, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
14
18
63
15

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 3
a = 15


3

What is 8a2 + 6a2?

75% Answer Correctly
14a4
48a4
2a4
14a2

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.

8a2 + 6a2 = 14a2


4

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 9) and (2, -1). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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, 9) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (9.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-10}{4} \)
m = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
