Simplify 8a x 4b.

86% Answer Correctly
32\( \frac{a}{b} \)
32ab
32\( \frac{b}{a} \)
32a2b2

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.

8a x 4b = (8 x 4) (a x b) = 32ab


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

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

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

all of these statements are correct


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.

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 17?

71% Answer Correctly
28π
34π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 17)
c = 34π


4

If side x = 15cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
25cm
31cm
33cm
40cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 13cm + 12cm = 40cm


5
