1

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

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

factoring

deconstructing


Solution

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


2

What is 6a6 + 6a6?

75% Answer Correctly
12a12
12
12
12a6

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.

6a6 + 6a6 = 12a6


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 5. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
100
35
112
18

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 7 x 5
v = 35


4

If side a = 9, side b = 8, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{128} \)
\( \sqrt{52} \)
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{37} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 92 + 82
c2 = 81 + 64
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)


5

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

4π r2

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.
