What is 3a - 7a?

79% Answer Correctly
-4a
21a2
-4
21a

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.

3a - 7a = -4a


2

The dimensions of this cylinder are height (h) = 4 and radius (r) = 1. What is the volume?

62% Answer Correctly
144π
80π
28π

Solution

The volume of a cylinder is πr2h:

v = πr2h
v = π(12 x 4)
v = 4π


3

Solve for z:
z2 + 19z + 49 = 4z - 5

48% Answer Correctly
-6 or -9
8 or -5
4 or -5
2 or -9

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 + 19z + 49 = 4z - 5
z2 + 19z + 49 + 5 = 4z
z2 + 19z - 4z + 54 = 0
z2 + 15z + 54 = 0

Next, factor the quadratic equation:

z2 + 15z + 54 = 0
(z + 6)(z + 9) = 0

For this expression to be true, the left side of the expression must equal zero. Therefore, either (z + 6) or (z + 9) must equal zero:

If (z + 6) = 0, z must equal -6
If (z + 9) = 0, z must equal -9

So the solution is that z = -6 or -9


4

The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 5, b = 8, c = 7, d = 9, and h = 4. What is the area?

50% Answer Correctly
9
34
7
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:

a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(8 + 9)(4)
a = ½(17)(4)
a = ½(68) = \( \frac{68}{2} \)
a = 34


5

A(n) __________ is to a parallelogram as a square is to a rectangle.

51% Answer Correctly

triangle

trapezoid

rhombus

quadrilateral


Solution

A rhombus is a parallelogram with four equal-length sides. A square is a rectangle with four equal-length sides.
