2

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{5!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
20
7
\( \frac{1}{336} \)
\( \frac{1}{5} \)

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:

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


3

Convert 7,826,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
7.826 x 106
7.826 x 105
78.26 x 105
7.826 x 10-6

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

7,826,000 in scientific notation is 7.826 x 106


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{50} \)

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

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

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