1

Solve for z:
z2 - 13z + 36 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
1 or -5
4 or 9
5 or -6
4 or -1

Solution

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

z2 - 13z + 36 = 0
(z - 4)(z - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 4) or (z - 9) must equal zero:

If (z - 4) = 0, z must equal 4
If (z - 9) = 0, z must equal 9

So the solution is that z = 4 or 9


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 4). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
y = -2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 1. 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, -2) and (2, 4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 1


3

Solve for z:
8z - 4 > -7 - 7z

55% Answer Correctly
z > -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
z > -\(\frac{1}{5}\)
z > \(\frac{2}{3}\)
z > \(\frac{3}{7}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

8z - 4 > -7 - 7z
8z > -7 - 7z + 4
8z + 7z > -7 + 4
15z > -3
z > \( \frac{-3}{15} \)
z > -\(\frac{1}{5}\)


4

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

trapezoid

rhombus

quadrilateral

triangle


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.


5

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).
