What is 8a + 8a?
| 64a | |
| a2 | |
| 16a | |
| 0 |
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.
8a + 8a = 16a
Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?
you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents |
|
you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
|
all of these statements are correct |
|
you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
If a = c = 3, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?
| 9 | |
| 30 | |
| 27 | |
| 42 |
The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 9
a = 27
Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?
opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal |
|
the area of a parallelogram is base x height |
|
the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides |
|
a parallelogram is a quadrilateral |
A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -6). What is the slope of this line?
| -3 | |
| -1 | |
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
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, 6) and (2, -6) so the slope becomes:
m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
