1

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

88% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

pairs

division


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

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

74% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, obtuse, acute

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


3

Solve for x:
x2 - 16x + 63 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
6 or 3
-2 or -3
7 or 9
2 or -5

Solution

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

x2 - 16x + 63 = 0
(x - 7)(x - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x - 7) or (x - 9) must equal zero:

If (x - 7) = 0, x must equal 7
If (x - 9) = 0, x must equal 9

So the solution is that x = 7 or 9


4

Simplify 7a x 8b.

85% Answer Correctly
56\( \frac{a}{b} \)
56\( \frac{b}{a} \)
56ab
15ab

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

7a x 8b = (7 x 8) (a x b) = 56ab


5

Solve for a:
7a + 1 < 6 - 5a

54% Answer Correctly
a < -\(\frac{2}{3}\)
a < 1
a < -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
a < \(\frac{5}{12}\)

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.

7a + 1 < 6 - 5a
7a < 6 - 5a - 1
7a + 5a < 6 - 1
12a < 5
a < \( \frac{5}{12} \)
a < \(\frac{5}{12}\)
