Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?
addition |
|
division |
|
pairs |
|
exponents |
When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)
Simplify 9a x 2b.
| 18a2b2 | |
| 18ab | |
| 18\( \frac{b}{a} \) | |
| 18\( \frac{a}{b} \) |
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.
9a x 2b = (9 x 2) (a x b) = 18ab
Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?
you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
|
all of these statements are correct |
|
you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent |
|
you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents |
You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.
The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?
h x l x w |
|
2lw x 2wh + 2lh |
|
lw x wh + lh |
|
h2 x l2 x w2 |
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.
Which of the following is not true about both rectangles and squares?
all interior angles are right angles |
|
the area is length x width |
|
the lengths of all sides are equal |
|
the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all four sides |
A rectangle is a parallelogram containing four right angles. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) are equal and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d) or, comonly, 2 x length x width. The area of a rectangle is length x width. A square is a rectangle with four equal length sides. The perimeter of a square is 4 x length of one side (4s) and the area is the length of one side squared (s2).
