What is the area of a circle with a radius of 3?

70% Answer Correctly
16π
64π
25π

Solution

The formula for area is πr2:

a = πr2
a = π(32)
a = 9π


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

75% Answer Correctly

squaring

normalizing

factoring

deconstructing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 5 and radius (r) = 6. What is the volume?

63% Answer Correctly
32π
294π
50π
180π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(62 x 5)
v = 180π


4

Solve for x:
x2 + 5x + 6 = -5x - 3

49% Answer Correctly
-1 or -9
-6 or -7
6 or 4
5 or -3

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

x2 + 5x + 6 = -5x - 3
x2 + 5x + 6 + 3 = -5x
x2 + 5x + 5x + 9 = 0
x2 + 10x + 9 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

x2 + 10x + 9 = 0
(x + 1)(x + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (x + 1) or (x + 9) must equal zero:

If (x + 1) = 0, x must equal -1
If (x + 9) = 0, x must equal -9

So the solution is that x = -1 or -9


5

A right angle measures:

91% Answer Correctly

360°

90°

45°

180°


Solution

A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
