1

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

84% Answer Correctly

Inside

Last

First

Odd


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.


2

Solve for y:
y2 - 10y + 16 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
2 or 8
6 or -9
5 or -5
7 or -4

Solution

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

y2 - 10y + 16 = 0
(y - 2)(y - 8) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y - 2) or (y - 8) must equal zero:

If (y - 2) = 0, y must equal 2
If (y - 8) = 0, y must equal 8

So the solution is that y = 2 or 8


3

Solve for c:
-9c + 6 > 7 + 4c

55% Answer Correctly
c > -\(\frac{1}{13}\)
c > -2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
c > 3
c > 4

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

-9c + 6 > 7 + 4c
-9c > 7 + 4c - 6
-9c - 4c > 7 - 6
-13c > 1
c > \( \frac{1}{-13} \)
c > -\(\frac{1}{13}\)


4

Factor y2 - 4y - 45

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 9)(y + 5)
(y + 9)(y - 5)
(y - 9)(y + 5)
(y - 9)(y - 5)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce -45 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -4. For this problem, those two numbers are -9 and 5. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 4y - 45
y2 + (-9 + 5)y + (-9 x 5)
(y - 9)(y + 5)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 1 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
50π
16π
200π
49π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 1)
v = 16π
