Simplify (y + 8)(y + 2)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 + 6y - 16
y2 + 10y + 16
y2 - 10y + 16
y2 - 6y - 16

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:

(y + 8)(y + 2)
(y x y) + (y x 2) + (8 x y) + (8 x 2)
y2 + 2y + 8y + 16
y2 + 10y + 16


2

Solve -9c + 3c = 8c - 6x - 5 for c in terms of x.

34% Answer Correctly
17x + 9
\(\frac{9}{17}\)x + \(\frac{5}{17}\)
-1\(\frac{4}{5}\)x - \(\frac{4}{5}\)
2\(\frac{3}{4}\)x - 1

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

-9c + 3x = 8c - 6x - 5
-9c = 8c - 6x - 5 - 3x
-9c - 8c = -6x - 5 - 3x
-17c = -9x - 5
c = \( \frac{-9x - 5}{-17} \)
c = \( \frac{-9x}{-17} \) + \( \frac{-5}{-17} \)
c = \(\frac{9}{17}\)x + \(\frac{5}{17}\)


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

24% Answer Correctly

c = π r2

c = π d

c = π r

c = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

If the base of this triangle is 9 and the height is 2, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
27
35
38\(\frac{1}{2}\)
9

Solution

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

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 9 x 2 = \( \frac{18}{2} \) = 9


5

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

75% Answer Correctly

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute

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°.
