1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

82% Answer Correctly

binomial

polynomial

monomial

quadratic


Solution

A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.


2

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

24% Answer Correctly

c = π d

c = π r2

c = π d2

c = π r


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.


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

90°

45°

360°

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.


4

Solve for a:
9a + 2 = 1 + 4a

59% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{5}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
-\(\frac{3}{4}\)
2\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

To solve this equation, 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.

9a + 2 = 1 + 4a
9a = 1 + 4a - 2
9a - 4a = 1 - 2
5a = -1
a = \( \frac{-1}{5} \)
a = -\(\frac{1}{5}\)


5

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 7 and radius (r) = 9. What is the surface area?

48% Answer Correctly
60π
48π
80π
288π

Solution

The surface area of a cylinder is 2πr2 + 2πrh:

sa = 2πr2 + 2πrh
sa = 2π(92) + 2π(9 x 7)
sa = 2π(81) + 2π(63)
sa = (2 x 81)π + (2 x 63)π
sa = 162π + 126π
sa = 288π
