Given a circle of radius 4, what are the circle's diameter and circumference?
d=8 c=8π
100
What does FOIL stand for?
First Outside Inside Last
100
What are the x-intercepts of the equation y=(x-3)(x+2)
The points (3,0) and (-2,0).
100
Simplify: x = (1/2) x 24 x sqrt.[49]
x = 84
200
Define the slope of a line.
The slope is: the change in y/the change in x rise/run
200
Please define a perpendicular bisector.
A perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of a segment at a 90 degree angle.
200
Please factor: 4x^2 - 8x
4x(x-2)
200
Which equation represents a parabola, and why: 1) y = 2x^2 - x + 3 2) y - 1 = 4x
Equation 1 is a parabola, because it has an x^2 term.
200
Solve for x. 2x-3=-x+9
x=4
300
Please provide an equation of a line parallel to y=-3x+4
Ex. y=-3x+-2
300
Please give the distance formula.
d = sqr.rt. [ (x-x1)^2 + (y-y1)^2 ]
300
Factor x^2 - 8x + 16
(x-4)^2
300
Fill in the blanks: x - ___x + 4 = (x - __ )^2
x-4x+4=(x-2)^2

Four pioneers and one missionary come to a river, where they find several cannibals. There are twice as many cannibals as the difference between pioneers and missionaries. How many cannibals are there?
There are 6 cannibals (uh oh!!!)
400
Given 2x+3y=8, what are the x and y intercepts?
x-intercept: (4,0) y-intercept: (0, 8/3)
400
What are zeros? (how do they appear on a graph? what is true about x and y when zeros occur?)
Zeros are x-intercepts, or the points where a graph crosses the x axis. When zeros occur, y=0.
400
Distribute completely to get a trinomial: (1/2)(2x+2)(x-4)
x^2 - 3x - 4
400
Which of the following equations could represent the trajectory of a rocket (on Earth, under normal conditions)? Why? Line 1: y = 2x^2 + 4 Line 2: y = x^2 - 6x - 1 Line 3: y = -3x^2 + x +2
Line 3 could represent the path of a rocket because the x^2 has a negative coefficient, forming an negative or upside-down parabola.
400
Find the intersection between the lines y = -4x + 3 and y = x + 8
The point (-1,7)
500
Please provide an equation for the line passing through the points (-1,-1) and (2,5).
y+1=2(x+1) y-5=2(x-2)
