1

Simplify (y - 9)(y - 4)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 5y - 36
y2 + 13y + 36
y2 + 5y - 36
y2 - 13y + 36

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 - 9)(y - 4)
(y x y) + (y x -4) + (-9 x y) + (-9 x -4)
y2 - 4y - 9y + 36
y2 - 13y + 36


2

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

70% Answer Correctly
25π
36π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


3

Solve for c:
-4c + 9 > \( \frac{c}{-8} \)

45% Answer Correctly
c > -2\(\frac{2}{7}\)
c > 2\(\frac{10}{31}\)
c > -2\(\frac{6}{17}\)
c > -\(\frac{10}{13}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-4c + 9 > \( \frac{c}{-8} \)
-8 x (-4c + 9) > c
(-8 x -4c) + (-8 x 9) > c
32c - 72 > c
32c - 72 - c > 0
32c - c > 72
31c > 72
c > \( \frac{72}{31} \)
c > 2\(\frac{10}{31}\)


4

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r2

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.


5

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

46% Answer Correctly

trisects

intersects

midpoints

bisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
