1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
10
16
25
7

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

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
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16


2

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{49}{81}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{7}{9}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{4}{5}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{49}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{49}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{7^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
\(\frac{7}{9}\)


3

What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{20} \) + \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
17\( \sqrt{5} \)
21\( \sqrt{100} \)
21\( \sqrt{4} \)
21\( \sqrt{20} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{20} \) + 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \) + 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
7\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \) + 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
(7)(2)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
14\( \sqrt{5} \) + 3\( \sqrt{5} \)

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

14\( \sqrt{5} \) + 3\( \sqrt{5} \)
(14 + 3)\( \sqrt{5} \)
17\( \sqrt{5} \)


4

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

69% Answer Correctly
44
42
46
52

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


5

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{3!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
120
72
\( \frac{1}{60480} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \)
