1

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

First

Inside

Odd

Last


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.


2

Which of the following statements about a parallelogram is not true?

50% Answer Correctly

a parallelogram is a quadrilateral

the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of the lengths of all sides

opposite sides and adjacent angles are equal

the area of a parallelogram is base x height


Solution

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides. Opposite sides (a = c, b = d) and angles (red = red, blue = blue) are equal. The area of a parallelogram is base x height and the perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides (a + b + c + d).


3

What is 6a8 + 6a8?

76% Answer Correctly
0
a816
12a8
36a8

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.

6a8 + 6a8 = 12a8


4

Solve for b:
2b + 3 < 1 + 5b

55% Answer Correctly
b < 4
b < -4
b < 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
b < \(\frac{2}{3}\)

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.

2b + 3 < 1 + 5b
2b < 1 + 5b - 3
2b - 5b < 1 - 3
-3b < -2
b < \( \frac{-2}{-3} \)
b < \(\frac{2}{3}\)


5

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

sum of interior angles = 180°

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

area = ½bh

perimeter = sum of side lengths


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.
