Random Riordan
100

Simplify the following expression:

1/2-1/3+1/4-1/5+1/6


 30/60-20/60+15/60-12/60+10/60=23/60 

100

What is the quadratic formula?

x=(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)

100

Name 4 different types of quadrilaterals.

Rhombus, Rectangle, Square, Parallelogram

100

What are the lengths of a 30-60-90 triangle? (hint: Start with an equilateral triangle of length 2)

What about a 45-45-90 triangle? (hint- start with a cube of length 1)

 30-60-90: 1, sqrt3, 2 

 45-45-90: 1, 1, sqrt2 

100

Whats the Probability of drawing a heart -out of a complete deck of cards?

13/52=>1/4

100

What is Riordans mascot? 

Bonus: What was the OLD mascot?

The Crusader

Big Purple

200

Simplify:

 7+7div7+7*7-7 

50

200

Given a right triangle, if the 2 legs are 5 and 12, what is the length of the hypotenuse?

Since its a right triangle, we can use pythagorean theorem

 5^2+12^2=c^2=>169=c^2=>c=13 

200

How many degrees are in a nonagon(9 sided figure)

There are 7 triangles in a nonagon. So  7*180=1260 .

200

Whats the height of the tree?

tan(49)=h/76=>h=76tan(49)=>87.4 ft

200

Whats the probability of drawing a heart and a club in one draw out of a complete deck of cards?

They cannot be drawn simultaneously, so these events are mutually exclusive, so they cant happen together.

 

0/52=0

 

200

What year did Riordan open?

1949

300

4x-5y=20

What are the x and y intercepts of the given equation?

Bonus, Draw the graph

X-Int:  (5,0) 

Y- int:  (0,-4) 

300

Factor the following function:  f(x)=3x^2+11x+10 

f(x)=(3x+5)(x+2)

300

What are the 3 rigid transformations? Whats the most common non-rigid transformation?

Rigid: Translation, Reflection, Rotation

Non-Rigid: Dilation

300

What is the fundamental theorem of algebra?

Every polynomial equation of degree 'n' with complex number coefficients has n roots, or solutions, in the complex numbers

300

Whats the probability of drawing a king and a heart out of entire deck of cards?

P(K and H)


1/52

300

When did Riordan go Co-ed?

2020

400

 Simplify the expression:  (2^4xy^3)/(8x^2y^2x^-1z^-2) 

2yz^2

400

Complete the square:

 f(x)=2x^2+7x+6 

0=2x^2+7x+6=>x^2+(7/2)x+3=0

x^2+7/2x=-3=>x^2+7/2x+(7/4)^2=-3+(7/4)^2

y=(x+7/4)^2-1/16

400

Find 

mangleJKL

mangleJKL=31

400

 Simplify: (2x^3+10x+35)/(x-3) 

2x^2+10x+35+104/(x-3)

400

Whats the probability of drawing a heart or a 2?

P(H)+P(2)-P(Hand 2)=13/52+4/52-1/52=16/52=4/13

400

Who was Archbishop Riordan named for?

The first Archbishop of San Francisco

500

What are the roots (x-intercepts) of the following function:

f(x)=x^2+6x+8

Bonus: Draw a picture of the graph!

f(x)=(x+2)(x+4)

500

Graph  z(x)=x^{3}+1x^{2}-2x .

Explain the end behavior and identify the intercepts.

500

A circle has a radius of 6 feet. If we wanted to color a 45 degree section for the circle, how many sqft of paint would we need?

 Area=theta/360*pir^2 

Area=45/360*pi(6^2)=>(1/8)*36pi ft^2=(9pi)/2ft^2

500

Find the error:

a=b

ab=b^2

ab-a^2=b^2-a^2

a(b-a)=(b+a)(b-a)

a=b+a

a=2a

Cant divide by zero. b-a is zero.

500

Whats the probability of a heart given its a 2?

P(H|2)=1/4
