What is 3a - 2a?

80% Answer Correctly
1a
6a
5
5a2

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 - 2a = 1a


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 10) and (2, -2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = -3x + 4
y = -x - 3
y = x + 4
y = -3x - 1

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 4. 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, 10) and (2, -2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-2.0) - (10.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-12}{4} \)
m = -3

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -3x + 4


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 3 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
150π
27π
324π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 3)
v = 27π


4

If the base of this triangle is 7 and the height is 3, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
32
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
91
66

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 7 x 3 = \( \frac{21}{2} \) = 10\(\frac{1}{2}\)


5

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 + a2

a2 - c2

c - a

c2 - a2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)
