1

Which of the following is not a part of PEMDAS, the acronym for math order of operations?

87% Answer Correctly

exponents

addition

pairs

division


Solution

When solving an equation with two variables, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)


2

What is 2a - 5a?

78% Answer Correctly
7
a2
-3a
-3a2

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.

2a - 5a = -3a


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 2. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
140π
180π
252π
12π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(22) + 2π(2 x 1)
sa = 2π(4) + 2π(2)
sa = (2 x 4)π + (2 x 2)π
sa = 8π + 4π
sa = 12π


4

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 4, and width (w) = 4. What is the volume?

82% Answer Correctly
112
648
18
140

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 7 x 4 x 4
v = 112


5

What is 9a3 + 2a3?

74% Answer Correctly
11a6
11a3
7a6
a36

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.

9a3 + 2a3 = 11a3
