1

If c = -8 and y = 2, what is the value of -2c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
12
-160
56
-99

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.)

-2c(c - y)
-2(-8)(-8 - 2)
-2(-8)(-10)
(16)(-10)
-160


2

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

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

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

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

quadratic

polynomial

binomial

monomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?

63% Answer Correctly

the area is length x width

the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides

the lengths of all sides are equal

all interior angles are right angles


Solution

A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).


5

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

a2 - c2

c2 + a2

c - a

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
