If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?
a = 7 |
|
a = 7 or a = -7 |
|
a = -7 |
|
none of these is correct |
The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
Simplify \( \frac{36}{68} \).
| \( \frac{5}{11} \) | |
| \( \frac{7}{11} \) | |
| \( \frac{9}{17} \) | |
| \( \frac{5}{6} \) |
To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 36 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, 36] and the factors of 68 are [1, 2, 4, 17, 34, 68]. They share 3 factors [1, 2, 4] making 4 their greatest common factor (GCF).
Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:
\( \frac{36}{68} \) = \( \frac{\frac{36}{4}}{\frac{68}{4}} \) = \( \frac{9}{17} \)
What is \( \frac{45\sqrt{25}}{9\sqrt{5}} \)?
| 5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) | |
| 5 \( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{45\sqrt{25}}{9\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{45}{9} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{25}{5}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)
What is \( \frac{2}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{9} \)?
| \(\frac{3}{28}\) | |
| 2 | |
| 18 | |
| \(\frac{1}{6}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{2}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{1}{9} \) = \( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{9}{1} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{2}{9} \) x \( \frac{9}{1} \) = \( \frac{2 x 9}{9 x 1} \) = \( \frac{18}{9} \) = 2
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?
| 43 | |
| 28 | |
| 33 | |
| 36 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 7
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 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36
