1

If a = 2, b = 3, c = 9, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
23
18
24
13
Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 2 + 3 + 9 + 4
p = 18

2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

3

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

83% Answer Correctly

Last

Odd

Inside

First
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.

4

What is 3a5 - 9a5?

73% Answer Correctly
-6a5
a510
27a10
-6a10
Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a5 - 9a5 = -6a5

5

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

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing
Solution

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