Solve for x:
x2 + 8x + 7 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
8 or 5
5 or 5
8 or -4
-1 or -7

Solution

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

x2 + 8x + 7 = 0
(x + 1)(x + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 1) or (x + 7) must equal zero:

If (x + 1) = 0, x must equal -1
If (x + 7) = 0, x must equal -7

So the solution is that x = -1 or -7

90% Answer Correctly

4

2

5

3


Solution

3

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

49% Answer Correctly

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


4

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 19?

70% Answer Correctly
19π
32π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 19π


5

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

circumference

radius

diameter

chord


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).
