1

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

division

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 8. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
729π
294π
648π
320π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(82 x 5)
v = 320π


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 3, and width (w) = 9. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
10
78
136
22

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 3 x 9) + (2 x 9 x 1) + (2 x 3 x 1)
sa = (54) + (18) + (6)
sa = 78


4

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 7, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
54
60
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 7 = \( \frac{21}{2} \) = 10\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, -6). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2
y = x - 4
y = -3x + 0
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 4

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 0. 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 = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-6.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -3x + 0
