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

58% Answer Correctly
3 or -1
-3 or -8
5 or -7
4 or -4

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

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

chord


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).


3

Which of the following statements about parallel lines with a transversal is not correct?

36% Answer Correctly

same-side interior angles are complementary and equal each other

all of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles

angles in the same position on different parallel lines are called corresponding angles

all acute angles equal each other


Solution

Parallel lines are lines that share the same slope (steepness) and therefore never intersect. A transversal occurs when a set of parallel lines are crossed by another line. All of the angles formed by a transversal are called interior angles and angles in the same position on different parallel lines equal each other (a° = w°, b° = x°, c° = z°, d° = y°) and are called corresponding angles. Alternate interior angles are equal (a° = z°, b° = y°, c° = w°, d° = x°) and all acute angles (a° = c° = w° = z°) and all obtuse angles (b° = d° = x° = y°) equal each other. Same-side interior angles are supplementary and add up to 180° (e.g. a° + d° = 180°, d° + c° = 180°).


4

Solve -4c + 9c = 9c - x + 5 for c in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{10}{13}\)x - \(\frac{5}{13}\)
-2x - 2
\(\frac{7}{15}\)x - \(\frac{4}{15}\)
-x + 4

Solution

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

-4c + 9x = 9c - x + 5
-4c = 9c - x + 5 - 9x
-4c - 9c = -x + 5 - 9x
-13c = -10x + 5
c = \( \frac{-10x + 5}{-13} \)
c = \( \frac{-10x}{-13} \) + \( \frac{5}{-13} \)
c = \(\frac{10}{13}\)x - \(\frac{5}{13}\)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 6 and radius (r) = 2. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
108π
24π
196π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(22 x 6)
v = 24π
