1

What is (c3)3?

80% Answer Correctly
c6
c0
3c3
c9

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(c3)3
c(3 * 3)
c9


2

What is 4\( \sqrt{9} \) x 2\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
24\( \sqrt{5} \)
6\( \sqrt{5} \)
6\( \sqrt{45} \)
8\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{9} \) x 2\( \sqrt{5} \)
(4 x 2)\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \)
8\( \sqrt{45} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

8\( \sqrt{45} \)
8\( \sqrt{5 \times 9} \)
8\( \sqrt{5 \times 3^2} \)
(8)(3)\( \sqrt{5} \)
24\( \sqrt{5} \)


3

What is \( \frac{5}{2} \) + \( \frac{2}{4} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{6}{4} \)
1 \( \frac{9}{18} \)
1 \( \frac{9}{4} \)
3

Solution

To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 2 are [2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20] and the first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40]. The first few multiples they share are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20] making 4 the smallest multiple 2 and 4 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{5 x 2}{2 x 2} \) + \( \frac{2 x 1}{4 x 1} \)

\( \frac{10}{4} \) + \( \frac{2}{4} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:

\( \frac{10 + 2}{4} \) = \( \frac{12}{4} \) = 3


4

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

least common multiple

greatest common factor

greatest common multiple

absolute value


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


5

What is \( \frac{4}{4} \) - \( \frac{5}{8} \)?

61% Answer Correctly
1 \( \frac{6}{13} \)
\(\frac{3}{8}\)
2 \( \frac{3}{7} \)
2 \( \frac{9}{8} \)

Solution

To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 4 are [4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40] and the first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80]. The first few multiples they share are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40] making 8 the smallest multiple 4 and 8 share.

Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:

\( \frac{4 x 2}{4 x 2} \) - \( \frac{5 x 1}{8 x 1} \)

\( \frac{8}{8} \) - \( \frac{5}{8} \)

Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:

\( \frac{8 - 5}{8} \) = \( \frac{3}{8} \) = \(\frac{3}{8}\)
