Solve for a:
a2 + 14a + 45 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
-3 or -9
-3 or -6
-5 or -9
-1 or -2

Solution

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

a2 + 14a + 45 = 0
(a + 5)(a + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (a + 5) or (a + 9) must equal zero:

If (a + 5) = 0, a must equal -5
If (a + 9) = 0, a must equal -9

So the solution is that a = -5 or -9

On this circle, line segment AB is the:

71% Answer Correctly

circumference

chord

diameter

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).


3

70% Answer Correctly

equal angle

right angle

parallel

equal length


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


4

On this circle, a line segment connecting point A to point D is called:

46% Answer Correctly

chord

circumference

diameter

radius


Solution

A circle is a figure in which each point around its perimeter is an equal distance from the center. The radius of a circle is the distance between the center and any point along its perimeter. A chord is a line segment that connects any two points along its perimeter. The diameter of a circle is the length of a chord that passes through the center of the circle and equals twice the circle's radius (2r).

What is 5a7 - 2a7?

74% Answer Correctly
3a7
a714
7a14
10a7

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.

5a7 - 2a7 = 3a7
