What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{45} \) + \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{5} \)
25\( \sqrt{5} \)
28\( \sqrt{225} \)
11\( \sqrt{45} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{45} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(7)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
21\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)

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

21\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(21 + 4)\( \sqrt{5} \)
25\( \sqrt{5} \)


2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
6
14
0
13

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 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 + 1
a6 = 5 + 1
a6 = 6


3

What is -9z3 x 8z6?

75% Answer Correctly
-72z6
-z18
-72z9
-z9

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-9z3 x 8z6
(-9 x 8)z(3 + 6)
-72z9


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
46
49
40
39

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46

Damon loaned Bob $900 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$90
$9
$30
$45

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 $900
i = 0.05 x $900
i = $45
