Factor y2 + 5y - 24

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 3)(y + 8)
(y + 3)(y - 8)
(y + 3)(y + 8)
(y - 3)(y - 8)

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 -24 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 5. For this problem, those two numbers are -3 and 8. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 5y - 24
y2 + (-3 + 8)y + (-3 x 8)
(y - 3)(y + 8)


2

What is 3a + 8a?

81% Answer Correctly
-5a2
11a2
11a
-5

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.

3a + 8a = 11a


3

Which of the following statements about a triangle is not true?

58% Answer Correctly

exterior angle = sum of two adjacent interior angles

perimeter = sum of side lengths

sum of interior angles = 180°

area = ½bh


Solution

A triangle is a three-sided polygon. It has three interior angles that add up to 180° (a + b + c = 180°). An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite (d = b + c). The perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its three sides, the height of a triangle is equal to the length from the base to the opposite vertex (angle) and the area equals one-half triangle base x height: a = ½ base x height.


4

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10?

70% Answer Correctly
25π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{10}{2} \)
r = 5
a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


5

A quadrilateral is a shape with __________ sides.

91% Answer Correctly

2

4

3

5


Solution

A quadrilateral is a shape with four sides. The perimeter of a quadrilateral is the sum of the lengths of its four sides.
