1

What is \( \frac{4\sqrt{14}}{2\sqrt{7}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{4\sqrt{14}}{2\sqrt{7}} \)
\( \frac{4}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{14}{7}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{2} \)

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Damon buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $47, how much will he pay for both shirts?

56% Answer Correctly
$65.80
$25.85
$72.85
$21.15

Solution

By buying two shirts, Damon will save $47 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$47 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$2115}{100} \) = $21.15 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$47.00 + ($47.00 - $21.15)
$47.00 + $25.85
$72.85


3

What is \( \frac{-3z^5}{5z^2} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)z\(\frac{2}{5}\)
-1\(\frac{2}{3}\)z3
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)z7
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)z3

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:

\( \frac{-3z^5}{5z^2} \)
\( \frac{-3}{5} \) z(5 - 2)
-\(\frac{3}{5}\)z3

How many 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 15 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?

51% Answer Correctly
5
2
10
3

Solution

To fill a 15 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 7\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) gallons so:

cans = \( \frac{7\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}}{1\frac{1}{2} \text{ gallons}} \) = 5


5

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

all of these are false

b1 = 1

b0 = 1

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).
