Simplify (7a)(7ab) - (9a2)(4b).

62% Answer Correctly
182ab2
-13ab2
182a2b
13a2b

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.

(7a)(7ab) - (9a2)(4b)
(7 x 7)(a x a x b) - (9 x 4)(a2 x b)
(49)(a1+1 x b) - (36)(a2b)
49a2b - 36a2b
13a2b


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Odd

First

Inside

Last


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.


3

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

pairs

addition

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 19?

71% Answer Correctly
19π
34π
17π
13π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 19π


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

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

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


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.
