1

If the base of this triangle is 2 and the height is 1, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
1
58\(\frac{1}{2}\)
52\(\frac{1}{2}\)
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 2 x 1 = \( \frac{2}{2} \) = 1


2

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

polynomial

monomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


3

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 3?

71% Answer Correctly
26π
10π
15π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 3)
c = 6π


4

Find the value of b:
b + y = -1
4b - y = -7

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{3}{5}\)
-1\(\frac{4}{57}\)
3\(\frac{3}{4}\)
-1\(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of y:

b + y = -1
y = -1 - b

then substitute the result (-1 - 1b) into the second equation:

4b - 1(-1 - b) = -7
4b + (-1 x -1) + (-1 x -b) = -7
4b + 1 + b = -7
4b + b = -7 - 1
5b = -8
b = \( \frac{-8}{5} \)
b = -1\(\frac{3}{5}\)


5

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

42% Answer Correctly

slope

y-intercept

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

x-intercept


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.
