1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

monomial

binomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -9) and (2, 3). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
2
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, -9) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-9.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \)
m = 3


3

The formula for the area of a circle is which of the following?

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d

a = π r2

a = π r

a = π d2


Solution

The circumference of a circle is the distance around its perimeter and equals π (approx. 3.14159) x diameter: c = π d. The area of a circle is π x (radius)2 : a = π r2.


4

If c = 9 and x = 7, what is the value of 4c(c - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
48
560
8
72

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

4c(c - x)
4(9)(9 - 7)
4(9)(2)
(36)(2)
72


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -5) and (2, 3). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

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

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 -1. 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, -5) and (2, 3) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(3.0) - (-5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = 2x - 1
