1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
65
54
56
61

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(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 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61


2

Simplify \( \sqrt{50} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{4} \)
7\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{50} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \)
5\( \sqrt{2} \)


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 20?

69% Answer Correctly
7
10
13
16

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 20 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20.


4

If a car travels 275 miles in 5 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
75 mph
70 mph
55 mph
40 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{275mi}{5h} \)
55 mph


5

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b0 = 1

b1 = 1

b1 = b

all of these are false


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
