Simplify \( \sqrt{112} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{7} \)
4\( \sqrt{14} \)
4\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{112} \)
\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \)
\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \)
4\( \sqrt{7} \)


2

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 45 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
160 miles
120 miles
45 miles
65 miles

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 45mph \times 1h \)
45 miles


3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 90 miles at an average speed of 15 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
1 hour
6 hours
3 hours
2 hours

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{90mi}{15mph} \)
6 hours

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

92% Answer Correctly
29
19
23
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


5

What is 4b6 + 4b6?

66% Answer Correctly
6
8b-12
8b6
8b12

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

4b6 + 4b6
(4 + 4)b6
8b6
