Simplify (9a)(9ab) + (5a2)(4b).

66% Answer Correctly
61ab2
162a2b
101a2b
162ab2

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.

(9a)(9ab) + (5a2)(4b)
(9 x 9)(a x a x b) + (5 x 4)(a2 x b)
(81)(a1+1 x b) + (20)(a2b)
81a2b + 20a2b
101a2b


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


4

Simplify (y + 2)(y - 1)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - y - 2
y2 + y - 2
y2 + 3y + 2
y2 - 3y + 2

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y + 2)(y - 1)
(y x y) + (y x -1) + (2 x y) + (2 x -1)
y2 - y + 2y - 2
y2 + y - 2


5

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
