What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 11?

71% Answer Correctly
18π
22π
16π
19π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 11)
c = 22π


2

Solve for a:
a2 - 7a + 4 = -a - 4

48% Answer Correctly
3 or 1
2 or 4
8 or 1
6 or 5

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

a2 - 7a + 4 = -a - 4
a2 - 7a + 4 + 4 = -a
a2 - 7a + a + 8 = 0
a2 - 6a + 8 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

a2 - 6a + 8 = 0
(a - 2)(a - 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a - 2) or (a - 4) must equal zero:

If (a - 2) = 0, a must equal 2
If (a - 4) = 0, a must equal 4

So the solution is that a = 2 or 4


3

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

41% Answer Correctly

slope

y-intercept

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

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.


4

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

equal length

right angle

parallel


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


5

Solve for y:
-2y + 3 = 6 - 9y

59% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{3}{7}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

-2y + 3 = 6 - 9y
-2y = 6 - 9y - 3
-2y + 9y = 6 - 3
7y = 3
y = \( \frac{3}{7} \)
y = \(\frac{3}{7}\)
