Simplify (3a)(9ab) - (6a2)(3b).
| 9a2b | |
| 45ab2 | |
| 108a2b | |
| -9ab2 |
To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.
(3a)(9ab) - (6a2)(3b)
(3 x 9)(a x a x b) - (6 x 3)(a2 x b)
(27)(a1+1 x b) - (18)(a2b)
27a2b - 18a2b
9a2b
If side a = 3, side b = 7, what is the length of the hypotenuse of this right triangle?
| \( \sqrt{20} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{41} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{89} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{58} \) |
According to the Pythagorean theorem, the hypotenuse squared is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared:
c2 = a2 + b2
c2 = 32 + 72
c2 = 9 + 49
c2 = 58
c = \( \sqrt{58} \)
If angle a = 53° and angle b = 64° what is the length of angle d?
| 132° | |
| 127° | |
| 114° | |
| 119° |
An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:
d° = b° + c°
To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 53° - 64° = 63°
So, d° = 64° + 63° = 127°
A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:
a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 53° = 127°
Simplify (9a)(3ab) + (7a2)(6b).
| 156ab2 | |
| -15a2b | |
| 69a2b | |
| 15a2b |
To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.
(9a)(3ab) + (7a2)(6b)
(9 x 3)(a x a x b) + (7 x 6)(a2 x b)
(27)(a1+1 x b) + (42)(a2b)
27a2b + 42a2b
69a2b
