75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

normalizing

factoring

squaring


Solution

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

Find the value of c:
-c + x = -5
6c - 4x = -8

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{5}{23}\)
1\(\frac{32}{41}\)
-14

Solution

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

-c + x = -5
x = -5 + c

then substitute the result (-5 - -1c) into the second equation:

6c - 4(-5 + c) = -8
6c + (-4 x -5) + (-4 x c) = -8
6c + 20 - 4c = -8
6c - 4c = -8 - 20
2c = -28
c = \( \frac{-28}{2} \)
c = -14


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 1) and (2, -3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 -1. 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, 1) and (2, -3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-3.0) - (1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -x - 1


4

If angle a = 30° and angle b = 33° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
137°
119°
150°
130°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 30° - 33° = 117°

So, d° = 33° + 117° = 150°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 30° = 150°


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 1. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
42π
14π
140π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(12) + 2π(1 x 1)
sa = 2π(1) + 2π(1)
sa = (2 x 1)π + (2 x 1)π
sa = 2π + 2π
sa = 4π
