Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 14?

71% Answer Correctly
15π
32π
14π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 14π


3

If side a = 8, side b = 9, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?

64% Answer Correctly
\( \sqrt{145} \)
\( \sqrt{13} \)
\( \sqrt{97} \)
\( \sqrt{68} \)

Solution

According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:

c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 82 + 92
c2 = 64 + 81
c2 = 145
c = \( \sqrt{145} \)


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 4. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
142
72
112
80

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 4 x 4) + (2 x 4 x 3) + (2 x 4 x 3)
sa = (32) + (24) + (24)
sa = 80


5

What is 7a + 9a?

81% Answer Correctly
a2
-2a2
-2
16a

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.

7a + 9a = 16a
