1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

binomial

monomial

polynomial

quadratic


Solution

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


2

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

57% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

area = ½bh

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


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

Solve 8b - 5b = -3b + 9x - 7 for b in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
-3\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
1\(\frac{3}{11}\)x - \(\frac{7}{11}\)
1\(\frac{2}{3}\)x + 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{5}{9}\)x + \(\frac{7}{9}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (b) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

8b - 5x = -3b + 9x - 7
8b = -3b + 9x - 7 + 5x
8b + 3b = 9x - 7 + 5x
11b = 14x - 7
b = \( \frac{14x - 7}{11} \)
b = \( \frac{14x}{11} \) + \( \frac{-7}{11} \)
b = 1\(\frac{3}{11}\)x - \(\frac{7}{11}\)


4

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 5?

69% Answer Correctly
25π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


5

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

4π r2

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
