Question:
In a certain city, the temperature can vary significantly from day to night. On one particular day, the highest temperature recorded was 8 degrees below zero, while the lowest temperature was 15 degrees below zero. If these temperatures represent the opposite direction of the temperature scale, how would you describe the change in temperature? Select the correct description from the dropdown below.
Answer Choices:
- A) The temperature increased by 7 degrees.
- B) The temperature decreased by 7 degrees.
- C) The temperature increased by 23 degrees.
- D) The temperature decreased by 23 degrees.
💡 Explanation:
The highest temperature was 8 degrees below zero and the lowest temperature was 15 degrees below zero.
To find the change, subtract the highest temperature from the lowest: -8 - (-15) = -8 + 15 = 7.
Thus, the temperature increased by 7 degrees from the lowest to the highest point.

Question:
A researcher is studying the relationship between the number of hours students study and their resulting test scores. She creates a linear model to predict test scores based on study hours, given by the equation: , where is the test score and is the number of hours studied. What do the slope and y-intercept of the model represent in this context?
Answer Choices:
- A) A) The slope represents the test score a student starts with, and the y-intercept represents how much the score increases per hour of study.
- B) B) The slope represents the increase in test score per additional hour of study, and the y-intercept represents the base test score when no hours are studied.
- C) C) The slope represents the total test score after studying, and the y-intercept represents the score decrease without study.
- D) D) The slope represents the decrease in test score per hour of study, and the y-intercept represents the maximum possible test score.
💡 Explanation:
In the equation , the slope 2.5 represents the increase in the test score for each additional hour of study.
The y-intercept 65 represents the test score when no hours are studied, meaning it is the baseline score.

Question:
Which of the following represents an equation that can be used to determine the number of solutions for the quadratic function f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 1?
Answer Choices:
- A) A) 2x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0
- B) B) f(x) = 0
- C) C) 2x^2 + 4x - 1 = 0
- D) D) 2x^2 - 4x - 1 = 0
💡 Explanation:
The equation f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 1 represents a quadratic function.
To find the number of solutions, we set the function equal to zero, resulting in the equation 2x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0.

Question:
Find the greatest common factor (GCF) and the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers 18 and 24. Then, use the distributive property to express the sum of 18 and 24 as a product of their GCF and another sum.
💡 Explanation:
To find the GCF, list the factors of each number: 18 (1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18) and 24 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24).
The greatest common factor is 6.
For the LCM, list the multiples: 18 (18, 36, 54, 72, ...) and 24 (24, 48, 72, ...).
The least common multiple is 72.
Using the distributive property, 18 + 24 equals 42, and it can be rewritten as 6(3 + 4) because 6 is the greatest common factor.
