1

Simplify (8a)(9ab) + (2a2)(6b).

65% Answer Correctly
84a2b
-60a2b
60a2b
-60ab2

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.

(8a)(9ab) + (2a2)(6b)
(8 x 9)(a x a x b) + (2 x 6)(a2 x b)
(72)(a1+1 x b) + (12)(a2b)
72a2b + 12a2b
84a2b


2

Simplify 7a x 9b.

86% Answer Correctly
63a2b2
63ab
16ab
63\( \frac{b}{a} \)

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.

7a x 9b = (7 x 9) (a x b) = 63ab


3

Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.

75% Answer Correctly

right, acute, obtuse

acute, obtuse, right

acute, right, obtuse

right, obtuse, acute


Solution

An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.


4

If a = c = 5, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
42
72
45
24

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 5 x 9
a = 45


5

Which of the following is not required to define the slope-intercept equation for a line?

42% Answer Correctly

slope

x-intercept

y-intercept

\({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\)


Solution

A line on the coordinate grid can be defined by a slope-intercept equation: y = mx + b. For a given value of x, the value of y can be determined given the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line. The slope of a line is change in y over change in x, \({\Delta y \over \Delta x}\), and the y-intercept is the y-coordinate where the line crosses the vertical y-axis.
