Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b0 = 1

all of these are false

b1 = b

b1 = 1


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


2

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 110 pounds of food in 11 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 140 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
11
3
8
7

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 110 pounds of food in 11 days that's \( \frac{110}{11} \) = 10 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 140 - 110 = 30 more pounds of food to reach 140 pounds total. At 10 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{30}{10} \) = 3 more days.


3

4

What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) + \( \frac{2}{14} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{42} \)
\( \frac{8}{42} \)
\(\frac{10}{21}\)
\( \frac{6}{42} \)

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{2 x 7}{6 x 7} \) + \( \frac{2 x 3}{14 x 3} \)

\( \frac{14}{42} \) + \( \frac{6}{42} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{14 + 6}{42} \) = \( \frac{20}{42} \) = \(\frac{10}{21}\)
