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

75% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing


Solution

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


2

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

90°

180°

45°

360°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


3

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

radius

circumference

diameter

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).


4

Solve for c:
8c + 7 > -7 - 6c

55% Answer Correctly
c > \(\frac{5}{7}\)
c > 4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
c > -1\(\frac{1}{6}\)
c > -1

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the > sign and the answer on the other.

8c + 7 > -7 - 6c
8c > -7 - 6c - 7
8c + 6c > -7 - 7
14c > -14
c > \( \frac{-14}{14} \)
c > -1


5

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π r

a = 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.
