1

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

commutative

associative

PEDMAS

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


2

What is 7\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{30} \)
14\( \sqrt{30} \)
9\( \sqrt{5} \)
14\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{6} \) x 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(7 x 2)\( \sqrt{6 \times 5} \)
14\( \sqrt{30} \)


3

Simplify \( \frac{32}{64} \).

77% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{7}{17} \)
\( \frac{4}{11} \)
\( \frac{1}{2} \)
\( \frac{6}{19} \)

Solution

To simplify this fraction, first find the greatest common factor between them. The factors of 32 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] and the factors of 64 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64]. They share 6 factors [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32] making 32 their greatest common factor (GCF).

Next, divide both numerator and denominator by the GCF:

\( \frac{32}{64} \) = \( \frac{\frac{32}{32}}{\frac{64}{32}} \) = \( \frac{1}{2} \)


4

If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?

67% Answer Correctly

a = -7

none of these is correct

a = 7

a = 7 or a = -7


Solution

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).


5

Convert y-5 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{-5y} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-5y^{5}} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^5} \)
\( \frac{-1}{y^{-5}} \)

Solution

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