What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 8?

69% Answer Correctly
16π
4π
3π
9π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{8}{2} \)
r = 4
a = πr2
a = π(42)
a = 16π


2

Solve 2a - 9a = 7a + 8y + 7 for a in terms of y.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
-3\(\frac{2}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)
14y + 6
2\(\frac{1}{6}\)y - 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (a) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

2a - 9y = 7a + 8y + 7
2a = 7a + 8y + 7 + 9y
2a - 7a = 8y + 7 + 9y
-5a = 17y + 7
a = \( \frac{17y + 7}{-5} \)
a = \( \frac{17y}{-5} \) + \( \frac{7}{-5} \)
a = -3\(\frac{2}{5}\)y - 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)


3

Simplify (2a)(9ab) + (8a2)(3b).

65% Answer Correctly
42a2b
-6ab2
121ab2
6a2b

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.

(2a)(9ab) + (8a2)(3b)
(2 x 9)(a x a x b) + (8 x 3)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (24)(a2b)
18a2b + 24a2b
42a2b

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

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing


Solution

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


5

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 1. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
38
120
30
78

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 7 x 1) + (2 x 1 x 1) + (2 x 7 x 1)
sa = (14) + (2) + (14)
sa = 30
