1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 9 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
243π
729π
125π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 9)
v = 9π


2

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

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

x-intercept

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

slope


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.


3

If a = -1 and z = -4, what is the value of -7a(a - z)?

68% Answer Correctly
36
-60
21
49

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.)

-7a(a - z)
-7(-1)(-1 + 4)
-7(-1)(3)
(7)(3)
21


4

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 7, what is the area?

59% Answer Correctly
40
7
42
55

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 7 = \( \frac{14}{2} \) = 7


5

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

all of these statements are correct

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
