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

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing


Solution

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


2

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the lengths of all sides are equal

the area is length x width

all interior angles are right angles

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
180π
12π
132π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 5)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(5)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 5)π
sa = 2π + 10π
sa = 12π


4

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

y-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
