What is 7a5 - 4a5?

73% Answer Correctly
a510
3
11a10
3a5

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

7a5 - 4a5 = 3a5


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

factoring

normalizing

deconstructing


Solution

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


3

Solve for b:
b + 9 > \( \frac{b}{-9} \)

44% Answer Correctly
b > 4
b > \(\frac{3}{11}\)
b > 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b > -8\(\frac{1}{10}\)

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.

b + 9 > \( \frac{b}{-9} \)
-9 x (b + 9) > b
(-9 x b) + (-9 x 9) > b
-9b - 81 > b
-9b - 81 - b > 0
-9b - b > 81
-10b > 81
b > \( \frac{81}{-10} \)
b > -8\(\frac{1}{10}\)


4

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

midpoints

bisects

intersects

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


5

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).
