1

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

First

Inside

Last

Odd


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

origin

x-axis

all of these

y-axis


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

If side a = 5, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

63% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 52 + 72
c2 = 25 + 49
c2 = 74
c = \( \sqrt{74} \)


4

Simplify (6a)(6ab) + (9a2)(8b).

65% Answer Correctly
108a2b
36a2b
-36ab2
-36a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(6a)(6ab) + (9a2)(8b)
(6 x 6)(a x a x b) + (9 x 8)(a2 x b)
(36)(a1+1 x b) + (72)(a2b)
36a2b + 72a2b
108a2b


5

If a = 5, b = 6, c = 3, and d = 6, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
18
28
13
20

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 6 + 3 + 6
p = 20
