1

Convert a-5 to remove the negative exponent.

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

Solution

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

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

92% Answer Correctly
22
34
29
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


3

Charlie loaned Damon $400 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$72
$30
$9
$4

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 $400
i = 0.01 x $400
i = $4

5

What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{3}{6} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
\(\frac{2}{21}\)
\(\frac{1}{6}\)
\(\frac{1}{10}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{3}{6} \) = \( \frac{4 x 3}{6 x 6} \) = \( \frac{12}{36} \) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
