What is the area of a circle with a diameter of 10?

69% Answer Correctly
49π
36π
25π
81π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2. Radius is circle \( \frac{diameter}{2} \):

r = \( \frac{d}{2} \)
r = \( \frac{10}{2} \)
r = 5
a = πr2
a = π(52)
a = 25π


2

Solve for y:
y2 - 3y - 4 = 0

58% Answer Correctly
1 or -9
-1 or 4
3 or -1
6 or -3

Solution

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

y2 - 3y - 4 = 0
(y + 1)(y - 4) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (y + 1) or (y - 4) must equal zero:

If (y + 1) = 0, y must equal -1
If (y - 4) = 0, y must equal 4

So the solution is that y = -1 or 4


3

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

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

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

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(6.0) - (-2.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{8}{4} \)
m = 2


4

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?

83% Answer Correctly

Odd

Last

Inside

First


Solution

To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.


5

Simplify (4a)(8ab) - (6a2)(7b).

62% Answer Correctly
-10a2b
156ab2
74ab2
10ab2

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.

(4a)(8ab) - (6a2)(7b)
(4 x 8)(a x a x b) - (6 x 7)(a2 x b)
(32)(a1+1 x b) - (42)(a2b)
32a2b - 42a2b
-10a2b
