1

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 3. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
144π
192π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(32 x 1)
v = 9π


2

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

42% Answer Correctly

slope

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

y-intercept

x-intercept


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.


3

Solve for b:
b2 - 2b - 63 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-2 or -3
9 or 7
-7 or 9
1 or 1

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic equation that's set to zero is to factor the quadratic equation:

b2 - 2b - 63 = 0
(b + 7)(b - 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (b + 7) or (b - 9) must equal zero:

If (b + 7) = 0, b must equal -7
If (b - 9) = 0, b must equal 9

So the solution is that b = -7 or 9


4

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

89% Answer Correctly

x-axis

all of these

origin

y-axis


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


5

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 9, c = 6, d = 7, and h = 4. What is the area?

51% Answer Correctly
32
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
18
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(9 + 7)(4)
a = ½(16)(4)
a = ½(64) = \( \frac{64}{2} \)
a = 32
