1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

monomial

binomial

quadratic

polynomial


Solution

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


2

Solve for y:
y2 + 2y - 35 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
5 or -7
4 or -3
7 or -9
-5 or -8

Solution

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

y2 + 2y - 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


3

Solve for b:
8b - 3 = \( \frac{b}{-8} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
3\(\frac{1}{3}\)
5
\(\frac{24}{65}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.

8b - 3 = \( \frac{b}{-8} \)
-8 x (8b - 3) = b
(-8 x 8b) + (-8 x -3) = b
-64b + 24 = b
-64b + 24 - b = 0
-64b - b = -24
-65b = -24
b = \( \frac{-24}{-65} \)
b = \(\frac{24}{65}\)


4

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

53% Answer Correctly

π r2h

2(π r2) + 2π rh

π r2h2

4π r2


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

If BD = 21 and AD = 28, AB = ?

75% Answer Correctly
7
17
3
10

Solution

The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:

AD = AB + BD

Solving for AB:

AB = AD - BD
AB = 28 - 21
AB = 7
