1

Factor y2 - 7y + 6

53% Answer Correctly
(y + 6)(y + 1)
(y - 6)(y - 1)
(y - 6)(y + 1)
(y + 6)(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 6 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal -7. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and -1. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 - 7y + 6
y2 + (-6 - 1)y + (-6 x -1)
(y - 6)(y - 1)


2

A right angle measures:

89% 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.


3

If side x = 15cm, side y = 11cm, and side z = 13cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?

84% Answer Correctly
23cm
35cm
39cm
28cm

Solution

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

p = x + y + z
p = 15cm + 11cm + 13cm = 39cm


4

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

2lw x 2wh + 2lh

h x l x w

h2 x l2 x w2

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.


5

The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 5). What is the slope of this line?

46% Answer Correctly
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-2
2

Solution

The slope of this line is the change in y divided by the change in x. The endpoints of this line segment are at (-2, -1) and (2, 5) so the slope becomes:

m = \( \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} \) = \( \frac{(5.0) - (-1.0)}{(2) - (-2)} \) = \( \frac{6}{4} \)
m = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
