1

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

75% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

normalizing

factoring


Solution

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


2

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

46% Answer Correctly

intersects

midpoints

bisects

trisects


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.


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

76% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


5

Solve for c:
2c - 6 = \( \frac{c}{4} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{16}{71}\)
3\(\frac{3}{7}\)
1\(\frac{17}{19}\)
-\(\frac{20}{21}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

2c - 6 = \( \frac{c}{4} \)
4 x (2c - 6) = c
(4 x 2c) + (4 x -6) = c
8c - 24 = c
8c - 24 - c = 0
8c - c = 24
7c = 24
c = \( \frac{24}{7} \)
c = 3\(\frac{3}{7}\)
