What is 4a5 - 4a5?

74% Answer Correctly
0a5
10
8a10
16a10

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.

4a5 - 4a5 = 0a5


2

If a = c = 8, b = d = 4, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
32
10
72
14

Solution

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

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 8 x 4
a = 32


3

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π r

c = 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

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

61% Answer Correctly

vertical, supplementary

obtuse, acute

acute, obtuse

supplementary, vertical


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, 5) and (2, 1). What is the slope-intercept equation for this line?

41% Answer Correctly
y = 2\(\frac{1}{2}\)x - 4
y = 2x - 3
y = -3x + 3
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 3. 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, 1) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(1.0) - (5.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{-4}{4} \)
m = -1

Plugging these values into the slope-intercept equation:

y = -x + 3
