Which of the following statements about math operations is incorrect?

70% Answer Correctly

you can multiply monomials that have different variables and different exponents

you can add monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

you can subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent

all of these statements are correct


Solution

You can only add or subtract monomials that have the same variable and the same exponent. For example, 2a + 4a = 6a and 4a2 - a2 = 3a2 but 2a + 4b and 7a - 3b cannot be combined. However, you can multiply and divide monomials with unlike terms. For example, 2a x 6b = 12ab.


2

What is 3a3 + 2a3?

74% Answer Correctly
5a3
a36
6a6
6a3

Solution

To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.

3a3 + 2a3 = 5a3


3

A right angle measures:

90% Answer Correctly

45°

180°

90°

360°


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.

Solve for a:
4a - 2 > \( \frac{a}{-2} \)

44% Answer Correctly
a > \(\frac{4}{9}\)
a > -1\(\frac{17}{37}\)
a > \(\frac{8}{19}\)
a > \(\frac{5}{9}\)

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 > sign and the answer on the other.

4a - 2 > \( \frac{a}{-2} \)
-2 x (4a - 2) > a
(-2 x 4a) + (-2 x -2) > a
-8a + 4 > a
-8a + 4 - a > 0
-8a - a > -4
-9a > -4
a > \( \frac{-4}{-9} \)
a > \(\frac{4}{9}\)

What is the circumference of a circle with a diameter of 1?

71% Answer Correctly
15π
18π

Solution

The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π:

c = πd
c = 1π
