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

74% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing

factoring


Solution

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


2

If a = 3, b = 2, c = 3, and d = 5, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
14
23
30
13

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 3 + 2 + 3 + 5
p = 13


3

What is 3a - 5a?

78% Answer Correctly
-2a
15a
-2a2
8a2

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a - 5a = -2a


4

Simplify (9a)(8ab) - (9a2)(9b).

59% Answer Correctly
153a2b
153ab2
9ab2
-9a2b

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.

(9a)(8ab) - (9a2)(9b)
(9 x 8)(a x a x b) - (9 x 9)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) - (81)(a2b)
72a2b - 81a2b
-9a2b

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% 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).
