What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{12}}{5\sqrt{3}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \) | |
| 2 \( \sqrt{4} \) | |
| 4 \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{10\sqrt{12}}{5\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{10}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{12}{3}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)
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?
| 32 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 18 m2 | |
| 162 m2 |
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
What is (b4)4?
| b8 | |
| 4b4 | |
| b16 | |
| b0 |
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(b4)4Which of these numbers is a factor of 64?
| 37 | |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |
| 11 |
The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 64 are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.
What is \( \frac{7}{4} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)?
| 2 \( \frac{5}{9} \) | |
| \( \frac{9}{8} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{5}{14} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{4}\) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40] making 8 the smallest multiple 4 and 8 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{7 x 2}{4 x 2} \) - \( \frac{4 x 1}{8 x 1} \)
\( \frac{14}{8} \) - \( \frac{4}{8} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{14 - 4}{8} \) = \( \frac{10}{8} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{4}\)
