1

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

associative

PEDMAS

distributive

commutative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.


2

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

69% Answer Correctly
61
62
63
65

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


3

How many hours does it take a car to travel 455 miles at an average speed of 65 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
7 hours
2 hours
6 hours
8 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 = \( \frac{455mi}{65mph} \)
7 hours


4

What is \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{20} \) + \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
32\( \sqrt{4} \)
20\( \sqrt{5} \)
12\( \sqrt{4} \)
32\( \sqrt{20} \)

Solution

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

8\( \sqrt{20} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
8\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(8)(2)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
16\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)

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

16\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(16 + 4)\( \sqrt{5} \)
20\( \sqrt{5} \)


5
