1

What is \( \frac{-8z^7}{2z^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)z-4
-4z-4
-4z4
-4z21

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{-8z^7}{2z^3} \)
\( \frac{-8}{2} \) z(7 - 3)
-4z4


2

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 45% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
15%

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 45% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{45\text{%}}{2} \) = 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%


3

Charlie loaned Charlie $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$14
$32
$50
$64

Solution

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 = 0.05 x $1,000
i = $50


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b0 = 1

all of these are false

b1 = b

b1 = 1


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

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common multiple

greatest common factor

absolute value

least common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
