2

What is 6\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{7} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
10\( \sqrt{7} \)
24\( \sqrt{14} \)
24\( \sqrt{9} \)
24\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(6 x 4)\( \sqrt{2 \times 7} \)
24\( \sqrt{14} \)


3

Solve 5 + (5 + 5) ÷ 3 x 5 - 22

52% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{4}{5}\)
17\(\frac{2}{3}\)
\(\frac{7}{8}\)
\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (5 + 5) ÷ 3 x 5 - 22
P: 5 + (10) ÷ 3 x 5 - 22
E: 5 + 10 ÷ 3 x 5 - 4
MD: 5 + \( \frac{10}{3} \) x 5 - 4
MD: 5 + \( \frac{50}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{15}{3} \) + \( \frac{50}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{65}{3} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{65 - 12}{3} \)
\( \frac{53}{3} \)
17\(\frac{2}{3}\)


4

What is -4x3 - 2x3?

71% Answer Correctly
6x3
-2x3
-6x3
-2x9

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:

-4x3 - 2x3
(-4 - 2)x3
-6x3


5

In a class of 24 students, 8 are taking German and 12 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 4 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
17
24
8
20

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 8 + 12 = 20. Of that group of 20, 4 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 20 - 4 = 16 who are taking at least one language. 24 - 16 = 8 students who are not taking either language.
