1

The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 1, length (l) = 6, and width (w) = 9. What is the volume?

83% Answer Correctly
54
315
210
16

Solution

The volume of a cube is height x length x width:

v = h x l x w
v = 1 x 6 x 9
v = 54


2

Breaking apart a quadratic expression into a pair of binomials is called:

74% Answer Correctly

squaring

deconstructing

factoring

normalizing


Solution

To factor a quadratic expression, apply the FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) method in reverse.


3

If angle a = 21° and angle b = 46° what is the length of angle d?

56% Answer Correctly
115°
127°
159°
150°

Solution

An exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the two interior angles that are opposite:

d° = b° + c°

To find angle c, remember that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:

180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 21° - 46° = 113°

So, d° = 46° + 113° = 159°

A shortcut to get this answer is to remember that angles around a line add up to 180°:

a° + d° = 180°
d° = 180° - a°
d° = 180° - 21° = 159°

Simplify (y + 5)(y - 8)

63% Answer Correctly
y2 - 3y - 40
y2 + 3y - 40
y2 + 13y + 40
y2 - 13y + 40

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:

(y + 5)(y - 8)
(y x y) + (y x -8) + (5 x y) + (5 x -8)
y2 - 8y + 5y - 40
y2 - 3y - 40


5

Simplify (3a)(8ab) + (6a2)(2b).

65% Answer Correctly
36a2b
36ab2
-12a2b
-12ab2

Solution

To multiply monomials, multiply the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of each term, add the exponents of like variables, and multiply the different variables together.

(3a)(8ab) + (6a2)(2b)
(3 x 8)(a x a x b) + (6 x 2)(a2 x b)
(24)(a1+1 x b) + (12)(a2b)
24a2b + 12a2b
36a2b
