What is 8\( \sqrt{2} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
80
40\( \sqrt{2} \)
40\( \sqrt{4} \)
13\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

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

8\( \sqrt{2} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
(8 x 5)\( \sqrt{2 \times 2} \)
40\( \sqrt{4} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

40\( \sqrt{4} \)
40\( \sqrt{2^2} \)
(40)(2)
80

How many 10-passenger vans will it take to drive all 33 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
4 vans
6 vans
7 vans
9 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{33}{10} \) = 3\(\frac{3}{10}\)

So, it will take 3 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 4 vans.

Ezra loaned Monty $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$21
$18
$112
$6

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,400
i = 0.08 x $1,400
i = $112

What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) + \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{3} \)
12\( \sqrt{75} \)
12\( \sqrt{225} \)
23\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

4\( \sqrt{75} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
(4)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
20\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

20\( \sqrt{3} \) + 3\( \sqrt{3} \)
(20 + 3)\( \sqrt{3} \)
23\( \sqrt{3} \)
