a box is five inches less

than twice the width. The height is 4 inches
more than three times
the width. The
box has a volume of 520
cubic inches.
Which
of the following equations
can be used to find
the height of the
box?
A. W(2L 5) (3H + 4) = 520
B. W(2W + 5) (3W 4) = 520
C. W(2W 5) (3W 4) = 520
D. W(2W 5) (3W + 4) = 520

2) Your classmate was asked to square (2x 3),he answered

4x-9.
Is his answer correct?
A. Yes, because squaring a binomial always produces a
binomial product.
B. Yes, because product rule is correctly applied.
C. No, because squaring a binomial always produces a
trinomial product.
D. No, because the answer must be 4x + 9.

3) The side of a square is xcm long. The length

of a rectangle is 5 cm. longer than the side of
the square and the width is
5cm shorter. Which statement is true?

4) If a square pool is to be made a rectangle such that the

6 units, what will happen to its area?

a.
b.
c.
d.

the area of the square is greater than the

area of the rectangle.
the area of the square is less than the
area of the rectangle
the area of the square is equal to the area
of the rectangle
the relationship cannot be determined
from the given information

5) Liza factored the expression

2

2

5 xy (3 x y +2 x )

a.
b.
c.
d.

as

. Did Liza factor it

a.

b.

d.

No, because 5xy is not the common

factor.
Yes, because the last term is cancelled
out.
Yes, there exist a common factor on all
terms.
No, because the last term when factored
is 1 and should not be omitted.

7) If a square pool is to be made a rectangle

will happen to its area?
a.
b.
c.

The area will increase by 12

The area will decrease by 12
The area will increase by 36.

p2

where V1 is the initial volume of the gas, P1 is

the initial pressure, P2 is the final pressure, and
the V2 is the final volume of the gas. If the initial
volume of the gas is 500 ml and the initial
pressure is 12 atm, what is the final volume of
the gas if the final pressure is 5 atm?
a.

The answer is correct, because to square a binomial

distribute the exponent
The answer is wrong, because the product of squaring a
binomial is a trinomial.
The answer is correct, because the product of squaring a
binomial is another binomial
The answer is wrong, because to square a binomial is to
multiply the expression by 2.
