Solution

There are 3 5-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 5 = 15 total seats. There are 17 people needing transportation leaving 17 - 15 = 2 who will have to find other transportation.

If \( \left|c + 0\right| \) - 6 = -1, which of these is a possible value for c?

62% Answer Correctly
2
1
-8
5

Solution

First, solve for \( \left|c + 0\right| \):

\( \left|c + 0\right| \) - 6 = -1
\( \left|c + 0\right| \) = -1 + 6
\( \left|c + 0\right| \) = 5

The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (c + 0) must equal + 5 or -5 for \( \left|c + 0\right| \) to equal 5:

c + 0 = 5
c = 5 + 0
c = 5
c + 0 = -5
c = -5 + 0
c = -5

So, c = -5 or c = 5.

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{3!} \)

120
\( \frac{1}{8} \)
15120

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \)

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
22
31
27
38

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


5

What is \( \frac{3}{7} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\)
1
\(\frac{2}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{7} \) x \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{3 x 3}{7 x 9} \) = \( \frac{9}{63} \) = \(\frac{1}{7}\)
