Simplify (6a)(6ab) + (9a2)(6b).

66% Answer Correctly
90a2b
90ab2
-18a2b
-18ab2

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)(6ab) + (9a2)(6b)
(6 x 6)(a x a x b) + (9 x 6)(a2 x b)
(36)(a1+1 x b) + (54)(a2b)
36a2b + 54a2b
90a2b

If the base of this triangle is 8 and the height is 5, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
67\(\frac{1}{2}\)
20
24
58\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 8 x 5 = \( \frac{40}{2} \) = 20


3

If side a = 7, side b = 4, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{106} \)
\( \sqrt{72} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{26} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 72 + 42
c2 = 49 + 16
c2 = 65
c = \( \sqrt{65} \)


4

If a = c = 1, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
40
5
9
4

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 4
a = 4


5

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

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1

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, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
