Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = b

b0 = 1

all of these are false

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).


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{175} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{14} \)
6\( \sqrt{7} \)
6\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{175} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \)
5\( \sqrt{7} \)


4

What is the least common multiple of 3 and 7?

72% Answer Correctly

21

Solution

The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 have in common.


5

If a car travels 120 miles in 8 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
35 mph
25 mph
70 mph
15 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{120mi}{8h} \)
15 mph
