1

If c = 4 and x = -2, what is the value of c(c - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
48
84
-405
24

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

c(c - x)
1(4)(4 + 2)
1(4)(6)
(4)(6)
24


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 5. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
156π
96π
80π
216π

Solution

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

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(52) + 2π(5 x 3)
sa = 2π(25) + 2π(15)
sa = (2 x 25)π + (2 x 15)π
sa = 50π + 30π
sa = 80π


3

Solve for b:
-3b + 1 > \( \frac{b}{6} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b > \(\frac{6}{19}\)
b > -1\(\frac{3}{17}\)
b > -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
b > -\(\frac{5}{16}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

-3b + 1 > \( \frac{b}{6} \)
6 x (-3b + 1) > b
(6 x -3b) + (6 x 1) > b
-18b + 6 > b
-18b + 6 - b > 0
-18b - b > -6
-19b > -6
b > \( \frac{-6}{-19} \)
b > \(\frac{6}{19}\)


4

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

41% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


5

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

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

4π r2


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.
