1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
252π
324π
225π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 7)
v = 252π


2

Simplify (9a)(8ab) - (9a2)(6b).

62% Answer Correctly
255a2b
126ab2
18a2b
126a2b

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.

(9a)(8ab) - (9a2)(6b)
(9 x 8)(a x a x b) - (9 x 6)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) - (54)(a2b)
72a2b - 54a2b
18a2b


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -3) and (2, 5). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-3
-2
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
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, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (-3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


4

Solve for y:
4y - 7 = \( \frac{y}{5} \)

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{5}{6}\)
-\(\frac{7}{8}\)
-\(\frac{8}{11}\)
1\(\frac{16}{19}\)

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.

4y - 7 = \( \frac{y}{5} \)
5 x (4y - 7) = y
(5 x 4y) + (5 x -7) = y
20y - 35 = y
20y - 35 - y = 0
20y - y = 35
19y = 35
y = \( \frac{35}{19} \)
y = 1\(\frac{16}{19}\)


5

Factor y2 + 2y - 48

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 6)(y - 8)
(y + 6)(y + 8)
(y - 6)(y + 8)
(y - 6)(y - 8)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -48 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 2. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and 8. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 2y - 48
y2 + (-6 + 8)y + (-6 x 8)
(y - 6)(y + 8)
