1

Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?

83% Answer Correctly

polynomial

binomial

monomial

quadratic


Solution

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


2

If the base of this triangle is 5 and the height is 8, what is the area?

58% Answer Correctly
20
31\(\frac{1}{2}\)
52\(\frac{1}{2}\)
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a triangle is equal to ½ base x height:

a = ½bh
a = ½ x 5 x 8 = \( \frac{40}{2} \) = 20


3

Solve for z:
z2 - 6z + 27 = 4z + 3

49% Answer Correctly
8 or 6
6 or 3
7 or 1
4 or 6

Solution

The first step to solve a quadratic expression that's not set to zero is to solve the equation so that it is set to zero:

z2 - 6z + 27 = 4z + 3
z2 - 6z + 27 - 3 = 4z
z2 - 6z - 4z + 24 = 0
z2 - 10z + 24 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 - 10z + 24 = 0
(z - 4)(z - 6) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z - 4) or (z - 6) must equal zero:

If (z - 4) = 0, z must equal 4
If (z - 6) = 0, z must equal 6

So the solution is that z = 4 or 6


4

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

78% Answer Correctly

a = π d2

a = π d

a = π r

a = π r2


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.


5

If a = c = 3, b = d = 9, what is the area of this rectangle?

80% Answer Correctly
27
56
18
63

Solution

The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:

a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 3 x 9
a = 27
