1

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 6) and (2, 0). What is the slope of this line?

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

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, 6) and (2, 0) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(0.0) - (6.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-6}{4} \)
m = -1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


2

What is 8a3 + 4a3?

75% Answer Correctly
32a3
12a3
32a6
12

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.

8a3 + 4a3 = 12a3


3

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 3, length (l) = 8, and width (w) = 3. What is the surface area?

51% Answer Correctly
94
322
232
114

Solution

The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):

sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 8 x 3) + (2 x 3 x 3) + (2 x 8 x 3)
sa = (48) + (18) + (48)
sa = 114


4

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

75% Answer Correctly

factoring

normalizing

deconstructing

squaring


Solution

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


5

Solve 9c - 6c = 5c - 8z - 2 for c in terms of z.

34% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{3}{13}\)z - \(\frac{6}{13}\)
-\(\frac{1}{2}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
z + 2
\(\frac{1}{6}\)z + \(\frac{2}{3}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.

9c - 6z = 5c - 8z - 2
9c = 5c - 8z - 2 + 6z
9c - 5c = -8z - 2 + 6z
4c = -2z - 2
c = \( \frac{-2z - 2}{4} \)
c = \( \frac{-2z}{4} \) + \( \frac{-2}{4} \)
c = -\(\frac{1}{2}\)z - \(\frac{1}{2}\)
