1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 10, 19, 28, 37, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
49
47
46
50

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 9

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 + 9
a6 = 37 + 9
a6 = 46


2

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
15120
\( \frac{1}{30} \)
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)
3

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{3!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{3}{1} \)
3


3

Which of the following is a mixed number?

83% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({5 \over 7} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


4

What is \( \frac{6\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{6\sqrt{6}}{2\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{6}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{6}{2}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)


5

What is (a2)4?

80% Answer Correctly
a8
a-2
2a4
4a2

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(a2)4
a(2 * 4)
a8
