What is (c5)5?

80% Answer Correctly
c10
c0
5c5
c25

Solution

c25


3

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


4

What is -2y7 - 6y7?

71% Answer Correctly
-8y7
4y14
4y7
8y-7

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:

-2y7 - 6y7
(-2 - 6)y7
-8y7


5

In a class of 25 students, 13 are taking German and 13 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 6 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
15
19
5
14

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 13 + 13 = 26. Of that group of 26, 6 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 26 - 6 = 20 who are taking at least one language. 25 - 20 = 5 students who are not taking either language.
