What is 3a - 2a?

79% Answer Correctly
1
a2
1a
6a2

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.

3a - 2a = 1a


2

Simplify (y + 2)(y - 2)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 4y + 4
91
y2 - 4y + 4
y2 - 4

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:

(y + 2)(y - 2)
(y x y) + (y x -2) + (2 x y) + (2 x -2)
y2 - 2y + 2y - 4
y2 - 4


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

intersects

bisects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 16?

71% Answer Correctly
16π
13π
24π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 16π


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -8) and (2, 0). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 3x - 3
y = 2x - 4
y = x - 4
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is -4. 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, -8) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (-8.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x - 4
