What is 2a3 + 4a3?

75% Answer Correctly
6a3
6a6
-2
6

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.

2a3 + 4a3 = 6a3


2

Solve for y:
y2 - y - 12 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
9 or -7
-3 or 4
8 or -2
6 or -7

Solution

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

y2 - y - 12 = 0
(y + 3)(y - 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 3) or (y - 4) must equal zero:

If (y + 3) = 0, y must equal -3
If (y - 4) = 0, y must equal 4

So the solution is that y = -3 or 4


3

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 9). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1
-3

Solution

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, -1) and (2, 9) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(9.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)


4

A cylinder with a radius (r) and a height (h) has a surface area of:

53% Answer Correctly

4π r2

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

π r2h


Solution

A cylinder is a solid figure with straight parallel sides and a circular or oval cross section with a radius (r) and a height (h). The volume of a cylinder is π r2h and the surface area is 2(π r2) + 2π rh.


5

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

lw x wh + lh

h2 x l2 x w2

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
