  • 2. 

    Divide  x2+9x+14  by x+7.

    Explanation
    The given expression x^2 + 9x + 14 can be factored as (x + 2)(x + 7). When we divide this expression by x + 7, we are left with (x + 2) as the quotient. Therefore, the correct answer is x + 2.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    Which of the following is a polynomial term?

    • 365

    • 5x + 6874

    • 6874

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 5x + 6874
    Explanation
    A polynomial contains two or more terms.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    Divide x2-9x-10  by (x+1)

    Correct Answer
    x-10, x - 10, x- 10 , X- 10
    Explanation
    The given expression is x^2-9x-10 and we need to divide it by (x+1). To divide, we can use long division method. By dividing x^2-9x-10 by (x+1), we get x-10 as the quotient and the remainder is 0. Therefore, the correct answer is x-10, x - 10, x- 10 , X- 10.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    How would you check to make sure that your answer is correct?

    • The coeffiecients will all add up to be 37.

    • When multiplied times the divisor, the product is the original expression

    • There is no way to check this kind of math. (duh!)

    • Ask your neighbor in the seat next to you.

    Correct Answer
    A. When multiplied times the divisor, the product is the original expression
    Explanation
    To check if the answer is correct, you can multiply the coefficients by the divisor and see if the product matches the original expression.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    Factor out  x2 + 9x + 14 note: type in the answer with NO spaces and using ( & )

    Correct Answer
    (x+7)(x+2), (x+2)(x+7)
    Explanation
    The given expression, x^2 + 9x + 14, can be factored as (x+7)(x+2) or (x+2)(x+7). Both of these factorizations are equivalent and correct.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    After the expression 5x + 35 is divided by 5, what is the remainder?

    Correct Answer
    x + 7 , x+7
    Explanation
    When the expression 5x + 35 is divided by 5, the remainder is 0. This means that the expression is divisible by 5 without any remainder. Therefore, the remainder is x + 7, which is equivalent to 0 when divided by 5.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the Greatest Common Factor in the following expression? 32x2-80x3+16x 

    • 16x

    • 16

    • 8x

    • 2

    Correct Answer
    A. 16x
    Explanation
    The greatest common factor (GCF) is the largest number or term that divides evenly into all the terms in an expression. In this case, the GCF of 32x^2, -80x^3, and 16x is 16x. This is because 16x is a common factor of all the terms, and there is no larger factor that can divide evenly into all the terms.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What is the remainder when dividing  2x3 – 9x2 + 15  by  2x – 5?

    • 3

    • 2x-5

    • -5

    • -10

    Correct Answer
    A. -10
    Explanation
    When dividing 2x^3 - 9x^2 + 15 by 2x - 5 using long division, we get a quotient of x^2 - 2x - 3 and a remainder of -10. Therefore, the remainder when dividing the polynomial by 2x - 5 is -10.

    Rate this question:

  • 10. 

    CHALLENGE: Divide  3x3 – 5x2 + 10x – 3  by  3x + 1note: enter the answer with no spaces, the exponents as large numbers (ex- 3x3 = 3x3), and the remainder as a quantity. {ex- (-45/3x+8)}  

    Correct Answer
    x2-2x+4+(-7/3x+1)
