Factor y2 - 3y - 40

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 8)(y - 5)
(y + 8)(y + 5)
(y - 8)(y - 5)
(y - 8)(y + 5)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -40 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -3. For this problem, those two numbers are -8 and 5. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 3y - 40
y2 + (-8 + 5)y + (-8 x 5)
(y - 8)(y + 5)


2

Solve for z:
-6z + 7 < 2 - 7z

55% Answer Correctly
z < -5
z < 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
z < -1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
z < 1\(\frac{1}{7}\)

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.

-6z + 7 < 2 - 7z
-6z < 2 - 7z - 7
-6z + 7z < 2 - 7
z < -5


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

360°

90°

180°

45°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.


4

If angle a = 64° and angle b = 59° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
57°
67°
109°
96°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 64° - 59° = 57°


5

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

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

π r2h2

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh


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.
