1

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


2

Simplify (9a)(8ab) + (3a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
-54a2b
153ab2
90a2b
90ab2

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)(8ab) + (3a2)(6b)
(9 x 8)(a x a x b) + (3 x 6)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) + (18)(a2b)
72a2b + 18a2b
90a2b


3

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

squaring

deconstructing

factoring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


4

If angle a = 59° and angle b = 51° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
69°
66°
79°
70°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 59° - 51° = 70°


5

Factor y2 + 12y + 27

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 3)(y - 9)
(y - 3)(y + 9)
(y + 3)(y + 9)
(y + 3)(y - 9)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 27 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 12. For this problem, those two numbers are 3 and 9. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 12y + 27
y2 + (3 + 9)y + (3 x 9)
(y + 3)(y + 9)
