On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

radius

diameter

circumference


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


2

If a = c = 5, b = d = 7, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
2
18
14
35

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 7
a = 35


3

Factor y2 - y - 2

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 2)(y + 1)
(y + 2)(y - 1)
(y - 2)(y - 1)
(y + 2)(y + 1)

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 -2 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -1. For this problem, those two numbers are -2 and 1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - y - 2
y2 + (-2 + 1)y + (-2 x 1)
(y - 2)(y + 1)


4

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

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

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.

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

diameter

circumference

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter.
