1

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

84% Answer Correctly

Last

First

Odd

Inside


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.


2

If side x = 6cm, side y = 13cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

85% Answer Correctly
37cm
33cm
32cm
28cm

Solution

The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:

p = x + y + z
p = 6cm + 13cm + 9cm = 28cm


3

Solve for z:
-2z - 3 = \( \frac{z}{-5} \)

46% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-5\(\frac{5}{8}\)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)

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.

-2z - 3 = \( \frac{z}{-5} \)
-5 x (-2z - 3) = z
(-5 x -2z) + (-5 x -3) = z
10z + 15 = z
10z + 15 - z = 0
10z - z = -15
9z = -15
z = \( \frac{-15}{9} \)
z = -1\(\frac{2}{3}\)


4

For this diagram, the Pythagorean theorem states that b2 = ?

47% Answer Correctly

c2 - a2

c2 + a2

c - a

a2 - c2


Solution

The Pythagorean theorem defines the relationship between the side lengths of a right triangle. The length of the hypotenuse squared (c2) is equal to the sum of the two perpendicular sides squared (a2 + b2): c2 = a2 + b2 or, solved for c, \(c = \sqrt{a + b}\)


5

Find the value of c:
2c + y = 8
-4c - y = 1

42% Answer Correctly
-1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
-1\(\frac{4}{7}\)
1\(\frac{5}{26}\)
-4\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

You need to find the value of c so solve the first equation in terms of y:

2c + y = 8
y = 8 - 2c

then substitute the result (8 - 2c) into the second equation:

-4c - 1(8 - 2c) = 1
-4c + (-1 x 8) + (-1 x -2c) = 1
-4c - 8 + 2c = 1
-4c + 2c = 1 + 8
-2c = 9
c = \( \frac{9}{-2} \)
c = -4\(\frac{1}{2}\)
