1

What is 9a + 6a?

81% Answer Correctly
54a2
a2
3a2
15a

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.

9a + 6a = 15a


2

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

If side a = 4, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{53} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)
\( \sqrt{65} \)
\( \sqrt{80} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 42 + 92
c2 = 16 + 81
c2 = 97
c = \( \sqrt{97} \)


5

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

46% Answer Correctly
2
-3
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2

Solution

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

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