1

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

87% Answer Correctly

addition

pairs

exponents

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

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 2). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = x + 0
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = -2x - 1
y = -x + 0

Solution

The slope-intercept equation for a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept of the line. From the graph, you can see that the y-intercept (the y-value from the point where the line crosses the y-axis) is 0. The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -2) and (2, 2) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(2.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{4}{4} \)
m = 1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = x + 0


3

What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?

69% Answer Correctly
9π
4π
16π
5π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


4

Simplify (y - 1)(y + 5)

62% Answer Correctly
y2 - 4y - 5
y2 - 6y + 5
y2 + 4y - 5
y2 + 6y + 5

Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses:

(y - 1)(y + 5)
(y x y) + (y x 5) + (-1 x y) + (-1 x 5)
y2 + 5y - y - 5
y2 + 4y - 5


5

If AD = 19 and BD = 14, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
14
12
20
5

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 19 - 14
AB = 5
