Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

71% Answer Correctly

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

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

all of these statements are correct

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents


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.

What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 19?

71% Answer Correctly
12π
36π
38π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:

c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 19)
c = 38π


3

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

58% Answer Correctly

area = ½bh

sum of interior angles = 180°

perimeter = sum of side lengths

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles


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.


4

If side x = 8cm, side y = 14cm, and side z = 12cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
22cm
26cm
27cm
34cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 8cm + 14cm + 12cm = 34cm


5

Simplify 4a x 3b.

86% Answer Correctly
12ab
12\( \frac{b}{a} \)
12\( \frac{a}{b} \)
12a2b2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

4a x 3b = (4 x 3) (a x b) = 12ab
