1

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


2

How many hours does it take a car to travel 675 miles at an average speed of 75 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
8 hours
5 hours
9 hours
3 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{675mi}{75mph} \)
9 hours


3

What is -3y3 - y3?

71% Answer Correctly
-2y9
4y-3
-4y3
-4y-3

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-3y3 - 1y3
(-3 - 1)y3
-4y3


4

What is \( \frac{6a^9}{5a^4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{5}{6}\)a5
\(\frac{5}{6}\)a-5
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)a5
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)a36

Solution

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

\( \frac{6a^9}{5a^4} \)
\( \frac{6}{5} \) a(9 - 4)
1\(\frac{1}{5}\)a5


5

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 18 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
32 m2
162 m2
18 m2
98 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 18 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 18.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 18
w + h = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
w + h = 9
w = 9 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 9 - 2w
3w = 9
w = \( \frac{9}{3} \)
w = 3

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 3) = 6 and the area = h x w = 3 x 6 = 18 m2
