What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
46
39
47
54

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


2

What is (y5)3?

80% Answer Correctly
y-2
y8
5y3
y15

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(y5)3
y(5 * 3)
y15


3

Which of these numbers is a factor of 40?

69% Answer Correctly
39
7
24
4

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 40 are 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 20, 40.


4

What is \( \frac{12\sqrt{8}}{6\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
4 \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)
4 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{12\sqrt{8}}{6\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{12}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{8}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{4} \)


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 440 miles at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
1 hour
2 hours
3 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 = \( \frac{440mi}{55mph} \)
8 hours
