4! = ?
4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 |
|
3 x 2 x 1 |
|
4 x 3 |
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.
Roger loaned Alex $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?
| $10 | |
| $15 | |
| $44 | |
| $56 |
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,000
i = 0.01 x $1,000
i = $10
What is -6y5 + 4y5?
| 10y-5 | |
| -2y5 | |
| -10y-5 | |
| -10y5 |
To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:
-6y5 + 4y5
(-6 + 4)y5
-2y5
On average, the center for a basketball team hits 30% of his shots while a guard on the same team hits 35% of his shots. If the guard takes 25 shots during a game, how many shots will the center have to take to score as many points as the guard assuming each shot is worth the same number of points?
| 16 | |
| 29 | |
| 22 | |
| 27 |
guard shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \) = 25 x \( \frac{35}{100} \) = \( \frac{35 x 25}{100} \) = \( \frac{875}{100} \) = 8 shots
The center makes 30% of his shots so he'll have to take:
shots made = shots taken x \( \frac{\text{% made}}{100} \)
shots taken = \( \frac{\text{shots taken}}{\frac{\text{% made}}{100}} \)
to make as many shots as the guard. Plugging in values for the center gives us:
center shots taken = \( \frac{8}{\frac{30}{100}} \) = 8 x \( \frac{100}{30} \) = \( \frac{8 x 100}{30} \) = \( \frac{800}{30} \) = 27 shots
to make the same number of shots as the guard and thus score the same number of points.
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 39,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
| 40,000 | |
| 28,000 | |
| 41,667 | |
| 29,250 |
A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
39,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{117000}{4} \) = 29,250 fans.
