1

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

75% Answer Correctly

deconstructing

squaring

normalizing

factoring


Solution

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


2

A(n) __________ is two expressions separated by an equal sign.

77% Answer Correctly

problem

expression

equation

formula


Solution

An equation is two expressions separated by an equal sign. The key to solving equations is to 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.


3

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

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


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).


4

If a = 5, b = 5, c = 2, and d = 4, what is the perimeter of this quadrilateral?

88% Answer Correctly
12
16
10
13

Solution

Perimeter is equal to the sum of the four sides:

p = a + b + c + d
p = 5 + 5 + 2 + 4
p = 16


5

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

77% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π r

a = π r2

a = π d


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.
