Solve for c:
c2 + 11c + 24 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-3 or -8
3 or -6
5 or -5
-2 or -5

Solution

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

c2 + 11c + 24 = 0
(c + 3)(c + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (c + 3) or (c + 8) must equal zero:

If (c + 3) = 0, c must equal -3
If (c + 8) = 0, c must equal -8

So the solution is that c = -3 or -8


2

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


3

Simplify (6a)(8ab) + (4a2)(4b).

65% Answer Correctly
64a2b
112a2b
32ab2
-32ab2

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)(8ab) + (4a2)(4b)
(6 x 8)(a x a x b) + (4 x 4)(a2 x b)
(48)(a1+1 x b) + (16)(a2b)
48a2b + 16a2b
64a2b


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 - a2

c2 + a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

radius

diameter


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
