1

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.


2

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

57% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

sum of interior angles = 180°


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


3

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

vertical, supplementary

acute, obtuse

obtuse, acute

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).


4

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

addition

pairs

exponents

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


5

Find the value of c:
4c + x = -6
3c + 3x = 9

42% Answer Correctly
-2\(\frac{3}{13}\)
-3
11
\(\frac{12}{29}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of x:

4c + x = -6
x = -6 - 4c

then substitute the result (-6 - 4c) into the second equation:

3c + 3(-6 - 4c) = 9
3c + (3 x -6) + (3 x -4c) = 9
3c - 18 - 12c = 9
3c - 12c = 9 + 18
-9c = 27
c = \( \frac{27}{-9} \)
c = -3
