Simplify 2a x 3b.

85% Answer Correctly
6a2b2
5ab
6\( \frac{a}{b} \)
6ab

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.

2a x 3b = (2 x 3) (a x b) = 6ab


2

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

45% Answer Correctly

intersects

midpoints

trisects

bisects


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.


3

Solve for z:
9z - 8 = -2 + 3z

58% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{9}\)
-\(\frac{5}{8}\)
1
\(\frac{3}{8}\)

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 equal sign and the answer on the other.

9z - 8 = -2 + 3z
9z = -2 + 3z + 8
9z - 3z = -2 + 8
6z = 6
z = \( \frac{6}{6} \)
z = 1


4

If a = c = 9, b = d = 2, and the blue angle = 51°, what is the area of this parallelogram?

65% Answer Correctly
81
40
21
18

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 9 x 2
a = 18


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

y-intercept

slope

x-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
