Simplify (9a)(8ab) - (6a2)(8b).

62% Answer Correctly
238ab2
24a2b
120a2b
-24ab2

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.

(9a)(8ab) - (6a2)(8b)
(9 x 8)(a x a x b) - (6 x 8)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) - (48)(a2b)
72a2b - 48a2b
24a2b


2

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d2

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π r


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.

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 7) and (2, -1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 3
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x + 2
y = -2x + 3

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 3. 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, 7) and (2, -1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-1.0) - (7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-8}{4} \)
m = -2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -2x + 3


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

chord

diameter


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).


5

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d2

a = π d


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.
