Simplify (7a)(2ab) + (4a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
22ab2
-6ab2
22a2b
54ab2

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.

(7a)(2ab) + (4a2)(2b)
(7 x 2)(a x a x b) + (4 x 2)(a2 x b)
(14)(a1+1 x b) + (8)(a2b)
14a2b + 8a2b
22a2b

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

Find the value of b:
7b + y = 2
-8b + y = 3

42% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{8}{11}\)
-\(\frac{1}{15}\)
-\(\frac{5}{6}\)
-3\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of y:

7b + y = 2
y = 2 - 7b

then substitute the result (2 - 7b) into the second equation:

-8b + 1(2 - 7b) = 3
-8b + (1 x 2) + (1 x -7b) = 3
-8b + 2 - 7b = 3
-8b - 7b = 3 - 2
-15b = 1
b = \( \frac{1}{-15} \)
b = -\(\frac{1}{15}\)


4

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 7. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
168π
110π
30π
18π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(72) + 2π(7 x 5)
sa = 2π(49) + 2π(35)
sa = (2 x 49)π + (2 x 35)π
sa = 98π + 70π
sa = 168π


5

If angle a = 31° and angle b = 66° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
131°
157°
145°
149°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 31° - 66° = 83°

So, d° = 66° + 83° = 149°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 31° = 149°
