Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

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

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

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


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.

If a = 4, b = 7, c = 6, and d = 3, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
16
24
20
12

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 4 + 7 + 6 + 3
p = 20


3

If a = c = 1, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

79% Answer Correctly
12
18

2

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 1 x 2
a = 2


4

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

41% Answer Correctly

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

y-intercept

slope

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.


5

If c = -7 and y = 4, what is the value of 9c(c - y)?

68% Answer Correctly
693

240
-54

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.)

9c(c - y)
9(-7)(-7 - 4)
9(-7)(-11)
(-63)(-11)
