What is -3a2 x 6a2?

75% Answer Correctly
-18a0
-18a4
3a4
-18a2

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-3a2 x 6a2
(-3 x 6)a(2 + 2)
-18a4


2

Which of these numbers is a factor of 56?

68% Answer Correctly
25
18
28
17

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 56 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56.


3

0

-1

1

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


4

What is 5\( \sqrt{7} \) x 7\( \sqrt{9} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{63} \)
12\( \sqrt{7} \)
105\( \sqrt{7} \)
35\( \sqrt{16} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

5\( \sqrt{7} \) x 7\( \sqrt{9} \)
(5 x 7)\( \sqrt{7 \times 9} \)
35\( \sqrt{63} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

35\( \sqrt{63} \)
35\( \sqrt{7 \times 9} \)
35\( \sqrt{7 \times 3^2} \)
(35)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \)
105\( \sqrt{7} \)


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
39
46
48
54

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46
