1

If a = c = 3, b = d = 9, and the blue angle = 57°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

66% Answer Correctly
27
7
2
48

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 9
a = 27


2

If BD = 20 and AD = 26, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
8
2
6
20

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 26 - 20
AB = 6


3

Simplify 3a x 4b.

86% Answer Correctly
7ab
12\( \frac{b}{a} \)
12ab
12\( \frac{a}{b} \)

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.

3a x 4b = (3 x 4) (a x b) = 12ab


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -5) and (2, 3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 3x - 3
y = 2x - 1
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 0
y = -x + 4

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -1. 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, -5) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x - 1

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

normalizing

squaring

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.
