1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 9, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 2. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
56
54
63
144

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 9 x 3 x 2
v = 54


2

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

46% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-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, 3) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{2}{4} \)
m = \(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

Solve for a:
a2 + 10a + 16 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-2 or -8
3 or 3
9 or -5
-4 or -5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

a2 + 10a + 16 = 0
(a + 2)(a + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a + 2) or (a + 8) must equal zero:

If (a + 2) = 0, a must equal -2
If (a + 8) = 0, a must equal -8

So the solution is that a = -2 or -8


4

Simplify (8a)(2ab) + (3a2)(4b).

65% Answer Correctly
70a2b
28a2b
28ab2
4ab2

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.

(8a)(2ab) + (3a2)(4b)
(8 x 2)(a x a x b) + (3 x 4)(a2 x b)
(16)(a1+1 x b) + (12)(a2b)
16a2b + 12a2b
28a2b

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

4π r2

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
