1

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

division

addition

pairs


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, 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.)


2

Which types of triangles will always have at least two sides of equal length?

54% Answer Correctly

equilateral, isosceles and right

equilateral and isosceles

isosceles and right

equilateral and right


Solution

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length. An equilateral triangle has three sides of equal length. In a right triangle, two sides meet at a right angle.


3

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

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing


Solution

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


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 5, c = 7, d = 3, and h = 3. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
12
6
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)
14

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(5 + 3)(3)
a = ½(8)(3)
a = ½(24) = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
a = 12


5

If a = 4 and x = 4, what is the value of 5a(a - x)?

68% Answer Correctly

-270

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.)

5a(a - x)
5(4)(4 - 4)
