What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
18
28
34
26

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26


2

If a mayor is elected with 70% of the votes cast and 83% of a town's 10,000 voters cast a vote, how many votes did the mayor receive?

49% Answer Correctly
5,727
7,470
6,806
5,810

Solution

If 83% of the town's 10,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{83}{100} \)) x 10,000 = \( \frac{830,000}{100} \) = 8,300

The mayor got 70% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{70}{100} \)) x 8,300 = \( \frac{581,000}{100} \) = 5,810 votes.


3

Convert z-2 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{z^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{-2}{-z} \)
\( \frac{1}{z^2} \)
\( \frac{2}{z} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


4

4! = ?

84% Answer Correctly

3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{9}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
3\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{8}\)
\(\frac{3}{5}\)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{3^2}} \)
\( \frac{7}{3} \)
2\(\frac{1}{3}\)
