1

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

75% Answer Correctly

right, obtuse, acute

acute, right, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

right, acute, obtuse


Solution

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


2

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

x-intercept

y-intercept

slope

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.


3

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

89% Answer Correctly

x-axis

origin

y-axis

all of these


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 5, length (l) = 2, and width (w) = 1. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
10
512
54
245

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 5 x 2 x 1
v = 10


5

Factor y2 - 3y - 10

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 5)(y + 2)
(y - 5)(y - 2)
(y + 5)(y - 2)
(y + 5)(y + 2)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -10 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -3. For this problem, those two numbers are -5 and 2. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 3y - 10
y2 + (-5 + 2)y + (-5 x 2)
(y - 5)(y + 2)
