Simplify 4a x 6b.

86% Answer Correctly
24\( \frac{a}{b} \)
24ab
10ab
24a2b2

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.

4a x 6b = (4 x 6) (a x b) = 24ab


2

Solve for a:
a2 - 10a + 24 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
4 or 6
9 or -8
-7 or -8
7 or 2

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

a2 - 10a + 24 = 0
(a - 4)(a - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 4) or (a - 6) must equal zero:

If (a - 4) = 0, a must equal 4
If (a - 6) = 0, a must equal 6

So the solution is that a = 4 or 6


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, -7). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-3
3

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, -1) and (2, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

68% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.


5

What is 9a + 8a?

81% Answer Correctly
17a
72a
a2
17

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

9a + 8a = 17a
