1

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

54% Answer Correctly

π r2h

π r2h2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

4π r2


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.


2

Solve for a:
a - 6 < -1 - 3a

55% Answer Correctly
a < 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
a < -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
a < -\(\frac{5}{9}\)
a < -\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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.

a - 6 < -1 - 3a
a < -1 - 3a + 6
a + 3a < -1 + 6
4a < 5
a < \( \frac{5}{4} \)
a < 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
80π
147π
16π
243π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 5)
v = 80π


4

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

92% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

division

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.)


5

Solve for z:
z2 + 14z + 48 = 0

59% Answer Correctly
6 or -7
8 or -8
-6 or -8
5 or -6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

z2 + 14z + 48 = 0
(z + 6)(z + 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 6) or (z + 8) must equal zero:

If (z + 6) = 0, z must equal -6
If (z + 8) = 0, z must equal -8

So the solution is that z = -6 or -8
