Correct: B

To solve for x, subtract 5 from both sides of the equation: 2x = 11 - 5, 2x = 6. Then, divide both sides by 2: x = 6 / 2, x = 3.

Solution

Correct: B

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs. Given c = 10 and a = 6, we can plug in the values: 10^2 = 6^2 + b^2, 100 = 36 + b^2, b^2 = 100 - 36, b^2 = 64, b = sqrt(64), b = 8.

Solution

Correct: B

To solve for y, add 2 to both sides of the equation: y = 7 + 2, y = 9.

Solution

Correct: B

Using the Pythagorean theorem, we have c^2 = a^2 + b^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the legs. Given c = 10 and a = 8, we can plug in the values: 10^2 = 8^2 + b^2, 100 = 64 + b^2, b^2 = 100 - 64, b^2 = 36, b = sqrt(36), b = 6.

Solution

Correct: A

To find the equation of the line, we need to find the slope first. The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Given points (2, 3) and (4, 5), we can plug in the values: m = (5 - 3) / (4 - 2), m = 2 / 2, m = 1. Then, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line: y - y1 = m(x - x1). Using point (2, 3), we have y - 3 = 1(x - 2), y - 3 = x - 2, y = x + 1.

Solution

Correct: A

To solve for x, multiply both sides of the equation by 2: x = 9 * 2, x = 18.

Solution

Correct: D

The formula for the area of a triangle is A = 0.5 * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height. Given b = 6 and h = 8, we can plug in the values: A = 0.5 * 6 * 8, A = 0.5 * 48, A = 24.

Solution

Correct: A

The standard equation of a parabola with vertex (h, k) is y = a(x - h)^2 + k. Given vertex (2, 3), we have y = a(x - 2)^2 + 3. The focus of a parabola in the standard form is (h, k + 1 / 4a). Given focus (2, 5), we can equate the y-coordinates: 5 = 3 + 1 / 4a, 2 = 1 / 4a, 4a = 1 / 2, a = 1 / 8. So the equation of the parabola is y = (1 / 8)(x - 2)^2 + 3, but since this is not an option, we can try another approach using the definition of a parabola as the set of points equidistant from the focus and directrix. The directrix is a horizontal line, so its equation is y = k - 1 / 4a. Since we are given the vertex and focus, we know the parabola opens upward. This information is not sufficient to uniquely determine the equation of the parabola among the given choices without assuming a specific value for 'a', which means we might have misinterpreted the question given the provided answer choices.

Solution

Correct: C

To solve for z, multiply both sides of the equation by 3: z = 12 * 3, z = 36.

Solution

Correct: D

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2l + 2w, where l is the length and w is the width. Given l = 8 and w = 5, we can plug in the values: P = 2 * 8 + 2 * 5, P = 16 + 10, P = 26.

Solution

Correct: A

The general equation of a circle is (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2, where (h, k) is the center and r is the radius. Given the center (-2, 1) and radius 3, we can plug in the values, remembering to adjust for the negative sign in the center: (x - (-2))^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 3^2, (x + 2)^2 + (y - 1)^2 = 9.

Solution

Correct: B

To solve for w, subtract 2 from both sides of the equation: w = 10 - 2, w = 8.

Solution

Correct: C

The formula for the volume of a cube is V = s^3, where s is the edge length. Given s = 6, we can plug in the value: V = 6^3, V = 216.

Solution

Correct: A

To find the equation of the line, we need to find the slope first. The slope formula is m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Given points (-1, 2) and (3, 4), we can plug in the values: m = (4 - 2) / (3 - (-1)), m = 2 / 4, m = 1 / 2. Then, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line: y - y1 = m(x - x1). Using point (-1, 2), we have y - 2 = (1 / 2)(x - (-1)), y - 2 = (1 / 2)(x + 1), 2(y - 2) = x + 1, 2y - 4 = x + 1, 2y = x + 5, which does not directly match any options, indicating a need to simplify or reevaluate based on provided choices and standard forms of a line. However, simplifying further to match provided options directly: y = (1 / 2)x + 5 / 2, which simplifies to y = (1 / 2)x + 2.5, but recognizing the mistake in calculations and matching to standard forms provided, let's correctly apply the slope-intercept form y = mx + b with correct slope calculation and application: Given m = 1 / 2, using one of the points, for instance, (3, 4), we find b by substituting m, x, and y into y = mx + b: 4 = (1 / 2)*3 + b, 4 = 1.5 + b, b = 4 - 1.5, b = 2.5, thus y = (1 / 2)x + 2.5, but correctly identifying this wasn't listed as is, yet aiming to align with provided choices, it's clear a precise match to the provided options requires adjustment or recognition of a calculation error given the standard forms.

Solution

Correct: C

To solve for x, add 4 to both sides of the equation: x = 9 + 4, x = 13.

Solution

Correct: C

The formula for the surface area of a sphere is A = 4 * pi * r^2, where r is the radius. Given r = 4, we can plug in the value: A = 4 * pi * 4^2, A = 4 * pi * 16, A = 64 * pi, which is approximately 201.06176, none of which match the provided options directly, indicating a confusion in the question as presented or an oversight in the answer choices provided.

Solution

Correct: A

The general equation of an ellipse with center (0, 0) is (x^2 / a^2) + (y^2 / b^2) = 1, where 2a is the length of the major axis and 2b is the length of the minor axis. Given the major axis is 10, a = 10 / 2 = 5. Given the minor axis is 6, b = 6 / 2 = 3. So, the equation of the ellipse is (x^2 / 5^2) + (y^2 / 3^2) = 1, (x^2 / 25) + (y^2 / 9) = 1.

Solution

Correct: B

To solve for y, divide both sides of the equation by 3: y = 24 / 3, y = 8.

None of the calculations for the volume of a cylinder with radius 3 and height 8 match the provided options when using the correct formula V = pi * r^2 * h, where r is the radius and h is the height.
