1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

binomial

monomial

polynomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

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

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing

squaring


Solution

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


3

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 9, c = 7, d = 2, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
16
14
16\(\frac{1}{2}\)
22

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(9 + 2)(4)
a = ½(11)(4)
a = ½(44) = \( \frac{44}{2} \)
a = 22


4

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π r2

a = π d


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

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

slope


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
