2

Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

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

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

all of these statements are correct

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

If a = 1, b = 2, c = 2, and d = 2, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
12
15
7
21
Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 1 + 2 + 2 + 2
p = 7

4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 6, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 6. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
168
202
120
240
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 7 x 6) + (2 x 6 x 6) + (2 x 7 x 6)
sa = (84) + (72) + (84)
sa = 240

5

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

75% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

deconstructing

factoring
Solution

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