Simplify (2a)(3ab) - (4a2)(8b).

63% Answer Correctly
-26a2b
60ab2
38ab2
26ab2

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.

(2a)(3ab) - (4a2)(8b)
(2 x 3)(a x a x b) - (4 x 8)(a2 x b)
(6)(a1+1 x b) - (32)(a2b)
6a2b - 32a2b
-26a2b


2

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Last

Inside

Odd

First


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.

83% Answer Correctly

quadratic

binomial

polynomial

monomial


Solution

4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -9). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
-1
-3
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 3) and (2, -9) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-9.0) - (3.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3


5

If a = 5, b = 6, c = 6, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
19
20
23
25

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 6 + 6 + 2
p = 19
