What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{112} \) + \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
64\( \sqrt{7} \)
40\( \sqrt{7} \)
16\( \sqrt{7} \)
64\( \sqrt{112} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

8\( \sqrt{112} \) + 8\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \) + 8\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \) + 8\( \sqrt{7} \)
(8)(4)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 8\( \sqrt{7} \)
32\( \sqrt{7} \) + 8\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

32\( \sqrt{7} \) + 8\( \sqrt{7} \)
(32 + 8)\( \sqrt{7} \)
40\( \sqrt{7} \)


2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
37
31
28
39

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


3

If there were a total of 250 raffle tickets sold and you bought 22 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
5%
19%
16%
9%

Solution

You have 22 out of the total of 250 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{22}{250} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{22 \times 100}{250} \) = \( \frac{2200}{250} \) = 9% chance to win the raffle.


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

b0 = 1

all of these are false

b1 = b


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).


5

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

50% Answer Correctly
30%
15%
20%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%
