1

If a = 8, b = 7, c = 8, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
25
23
12
28

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 8 + 7 + 8 + 2
p = 25


2

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

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

deconstructing

normalizing


Solution

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


3

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

81% Answer Correctly

quadratic

monomial

polynomial

binomial


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


4

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

70% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

radius

diameter


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).


5

Solve for z:
3z - 4 < \( \frac{z}{1} \)

44% Answer Correctly
z < -\(\frac{45}{46}\)
z < \(\frac{8}{13}\)
z < 2
z < -3\(\frac{12}{17}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the < sign and the answer on the other.

3z - 4 < \( \frac{z}{1} \)
1 x (3z - 4) < z
(1 x 3z) + (1 x -4) < z
3z - 4 < z
3z - 4 - z < 0
3z - z < 4
2z < 4
z < \( \frac{4}{2} \)
z < 2
