Simplify 4a x 7b.

86% Answer Correctly
28\( \frac{a}{b} \)
11ab
28ab
28\( \frac{b}{a} \)

Solution

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.

4a x 7b = (4 x 7) (a x b) = 28ab


2

If angle a = 22° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
124°
158°
155°
117°

Solution

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° - 22° - 39° = 119°

So, d° = 39° + 119° = 158°

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° - 22° = 158°


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 2 and radius (r) = 9. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
48π
162π
175π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(92 x 2)
v = 162π


4

On this circle, line segment CD is the:

46% Answer Correctly

radius

chord

diameter

circumference


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).

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2x - 3
y = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 1
y = -x + 3
y = -2x + 4

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 -3. 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, -7) and (2, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (-7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x - 3
