1

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

normalizing

factoring

deconstructing

squaring


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


2

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

c - a

a2 - c2

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
212
288
64
180

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 8 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 3) + (2 x 8 x 3)
sa = (96) + (36) + (48)
sa = 180


4

If b = 2 and z = -9, what is the value of -8b(b - z)?

69% Answer Correctly
-176
-8
160
1224

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

-8b(b - z)
-8(2)(2 + 9)
-8(2)(11)
(-16)(11)
-176


5

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

diameter

radius

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
