Factor y2 + 3y - 54

54% Answer Correctly
(y + 6)(y + 9)
(y - 6)(y - 9)
(y - 6)(y + 9)
(y + 6)(y - 9)

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 -54 as well and sum (Inside, Outside) to equal 3. For this problem, those two numbers are -6 and 9. Then, plug these into a set of binomials using the square root of the First variable (y2):

y2 + 3y - 54
y2 + (-6 + 9)y + (-6 x 9)
(y - 6)(y + 9)


2

If angle a = 58° and angle b = 44° what is the length of angle c?

71% Answer Correctly
78°
112°
108°
51°

Solution

The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 58° - 44° = 78°


3

When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).

60% Answer Correctly

obtuse, acute

vertical, supplementary

supplementary, vertical

acute, obtuse


Solution

Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).


4

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.

70% Answer Correctly

equal length

equal angle

parallel

right angle


Solution

A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.


5

What is 6a - 2a?

79% Answer Correctly
4
4a
4a2
a2

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.

6a - 2a = 4a
