1

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

factoring

squaring

deconstructing

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


2

What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 4?

69% Answer Correctly

Solution

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

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{4}{2} \)
r = 2
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π


3

What is 5a + 5a?

81% Answer Correctly
25a2
10a
a2
0

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.

5a + 5a = 10a


4

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -7) and (2, 3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 -2. 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, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-7.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{10}{4} \)
m = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 2


5

If a = c = 3, b = d = 2, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
25
32
16
6

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 2
a = 6
