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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π d2

c = π r

c = π r2


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.


2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent


Solution

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.


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

84% Answer Correctly

monomial

binomial

quadratic

polynomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

If c = 9 and y = -5, what is the value of -6c(c - y)?

70% Answer Correctly
-100
504
-144
-756

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.)

-6c(c - y)
-6(9)(9 + 5)
-6(9)(14)
(-54)(14)
-756


5

If angle a = 41° and angle b = 66° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
86°
93°
73°
114°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 41° - 66° = 73°
