Simplify (3a)(5ab) - (8a2)(2b).

62% Answer Correctly
-1a2b
-a2b
80a2b
31a2b

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(3a)(5ab) - (8a2)(2b)
(3 x 5)(a x a x b) - (8 x 2)(a2 x b)
(15)(a1+1 x b) - (16)(a2b)
15a2b - 16a2b
-1a2b


2

If the base of this triangle is 3 and the height is 4, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
112\(\frac{1}{2}\)
35
6
82\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 3 x 4 = \( \frac{12}{2} \) = 6


3

If side a = 2, side b = 1, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{74} \)
\( \sqrt{26} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)
\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 22 + 12
c2 = 4 + 1
c2 = 5
c = \( \sqrt{5} \)


4

Solve for c:
-9c - 3 = \( \frac{c}{7} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{45}{62}\)
1\(\frac{1}{47}\)
2\(\frac{2}{15}\)
-\(\frac{21}{64}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-9c - 3 = \( \frac{c}{7} \)
7 x (-9c - 3) = c
(7 x -9c) + (7 x -3) = c
-63c - 21 = c
-63c - 21 - c = 0
-63c - c = 21
-64c = 21
c = \( \frac{21}{-64} \)
c = -\(\frac{21}{64}\)
