Simplify (2a)(7ab) + (2a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
-10ab2
18a2b
18ab2
10ab2

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.

(2a)(7ab) + (2a2)(2b)
(2 x 7)(a x a x b) + (2 x 2)(a2 x b)
(14)(a1+1 x b) + (4)(a2b)
14a2b + 4a2b
18a2b


2

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

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

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 -4. 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, -7) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(-7.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 8 and radius (r) = 4. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
128π
75π
180π
24π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(42 x 8)
v = 128π


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).

Solve for y:
y2 + 12y + 35 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
7 or 2
2 or -8
8 or 5
-5 or -7

Solution

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

y2 + 12y + 35 = 0
(y + 5)(y + 7) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 5) or (y + 7) must equal zero:

If (y + 5) = 0, y must equal -5
If (y + 7) = 0, y must equal -7

So the solution is that y = -5 or -7
