1

If a = c = 5, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
36
6
20
63

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 4
a = 20


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

origin

all of these

x-axis

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

Find the value of c:
-3c + z = 2
8c - 2z = 8

42% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{19}{32}\)
-3
-\(\frac{23}{32}\)
6

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of z:

-3c + z = 2
z = 2 + 3c

then substitute the result (2 - -3c) into the second equation:

8c - 2(2 + 3c) = 8
8c + (-2 x 2) + (-2 x 3c) = 8
8c - 4 - 6c = 8
8c - 6c = 8 + 4
2c = 12
c = \( \frac{12}{2} \)
c = 6


4

Simplify (8a)(5ab) - (5a2)(3b).

62% Answer Correctly
55ab2
25a2b
104a2b
55a2b

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.

(8a)(5ab) - (5a2)(3b)
(8 x 5)(a x a x b) - (5 x 3)(a2 x b)
(40)(a1+1 x b) - (15)(a2b)
40a2b - 15a2b
25a2b


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

41% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)

x-intercept


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
