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

74% Answer Correctly

normalizing

factoring

deconstructing

squaring


Solution

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


2

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h

π r2h2

4π r2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


3

If side a = 6, side b = 5, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{61} \)
\( \sqrt{74} \)
10

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 62 + 52
c2 = 36 + 25
c2 = 61
c = \( \sqrt{61} \)


4

Simplify (6a)(3ab) + (9a2)(3b).

65% Answer Correctly
45ab2
45a2b
-9ab2
-9a2b

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.

(6a)(3ab) + (9a2)(3b)
(6 x 3)(a x a x b) + (9 x 3)(a2 x b)
(18)(a1+1 x b) + (27)(a2b)
18a2b + 27a2b
45a2b


5

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

46% Answer Correctly
3
-2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-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, -2) and (2, -4) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-4.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
m = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
