Factor y2 - 6y + 5

54% Answer Correctly
(y - 5)(y + 1)
(y + 5)(y + 1)
(y + 5)(y - 1)
(y - 5)(y - 1)

Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL method (First, Outside, Inside, Last) in reverse. First, find the two Last terms that will multiply to produce 5 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -6. For this problem, those two numbers are -5 and -1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 6y + 5
y2 + (-5 - 1)y + (-5 x -1)
(y - 5)(y - 1)


2

A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?

88% Answer Correctly

x-axis

y-axis

all of these

origin


Solution

The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.


3

If angle a = 22° and angle b = 64° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
94°
90°
110°
103°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 22° - 64° = 94°


4

If b = 7 and x = 5, what is the value of 8b(b - x)?

68% Answer Correctly
56
224
112
90

Solution

To solve this equation, replace the variables with the values given and then solve the now variable-free equation. (Remember order of operations, PEMDAS, Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication/Division, Addition/Subtraction.)

8b(b - x)
8(7)(7 - 5)
8(7)(2)
(56)(2)
112


5

The formula for volume of a cube in terms of height (h), length (l), and width (w) is which of the following?

67% Answer Correctly

h2 x l2 x w2

h x l x w

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

lw x wh + lh


Solution

A cube is a rectangular solid box with a height (h), length (l), and width (w). The volume is h x l x w and the surface area is 2lw x 2wh + 2lh.
