1

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

74% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

factoring

squaring

normalizing


Solution

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


2

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


3

Solve for a:
7a - 2 = -3 - 3a

58% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{1}{8}\)
-\(\frac{1}{10}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

7a - 2 = -3 - 3a
7a = -3 - 3a + 2
7a + 3a = -3 + 2
10a = -1
a = \( \frac{-1}{10} \)
a = -\(\frac{1}{10}\)


4

If a = c = 4, b = d = 5, and the blue angle = 72°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
18
6
12
20

Solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 5
a = 20


5

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

70% Answer Correctly

parallel

equal length

equal angle

right angle


Solution

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