1

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

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

deconstructing

normalizing

squaring


Solution

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


2

If angle a = 32° and angle b = 51° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
149°
143°
148°
139°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 32° - 51° = 97°

So, d° = 51° + 97° = 148°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 32° = 148°


3

If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.

45% Answer Correctly

intersects

bisects

midpoints

trisects


Solution

A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.


4

Find the value of b:
-6b + y = -4
-8b + 7y = 7

42% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{5}{8}\)
-\(\frac{23}{33}\)
1\(\frac{1}{34}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{31}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of b so solve the first equation in terms of y:

-6b + y = -4
y = -4 + 6b

then substitute the result (-4 - -6b) into the second equation:

-8b + 7(-4 + 6b) = 7
-8b + (7 x -4) + (7 x 6b) = 7
-8b - 28 + 42b = 7
-8b + 42b = 7 + 28
34b = 35
b = \( \frac{35}{34} \)
b = 1\(\frac{1}{34}\)


5

If a = c = 7, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
12
28
10
32

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 7 x 4
a = 28
