1

If BD = 16 and AD = 22, AB = ?

76% Answer Correctly
13
6
19
15

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 22 - 16
AB = 6


2

Simplify (y - 3)(y + 8)

64% Answer Correctly
y2 - 5y - 24
y2 - 11y + 24
y2 + 5y - 24
y2 + 11y + 24

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 3)(y + 8)
(y x y) + (y x 8) + (-3 x y) + (-3 x 8)
y2 + 8y - 3y - 24
y2 + 5y - 24


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 0) and (2, -4). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, 0) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (0.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1


4

Simplify 8a x 4b.

86% Answer Correctly
32\( \frac{b}{a} \)
32ab
32\( \frac{a}{b} \)
12ab

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.

8a x 4b = (8 x 4) (a x b) = 32ab


5

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.
