3

Simplify (y - 5)(y - 3)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 8y + 15
y2 + 2y - 15
y2 + 8y + 15
y2 - 2y - 15

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 - 5)(y - 3)
(y x y) + (y x -3) + (-5 x y) + (-5 x -3)
y2 - 3y - 5y + 15
y2 - 8y + 15


4

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.

65% Answer Correctly
32
64
27
54

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 9
a = 27
