Ezra loaned Jennifer $1,300 at an annual interest rate of 1%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,313
$1,391
$1,417
$1,339

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,300
i = 0.01 x $1,300

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $1,300 + $13
total = $1,313

Convert 0.0006814 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
6.814 x 10-4
6.814 x 104
6.814 x 105
6.814 x 10-3

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:

0.0006814 in scientific notation is 6.814 x 10-4


5

What is 2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 8\( \sqrt{5} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
10\( \sqrt{40} \)
16\( \sqrt{5} \)
10\( \sqrt{5} \)
32\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

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

2\( \sqrt{8} \) x 8\( \sqrt{5} \)
(2 x 8)\( \sqrt{8 \times 5} \)
16\( \sqrt{40} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

16\( \sqrt{40} \)
16\( \sqrt{10 \times 4} \)
16\( \sqrt{10 \times 2^2} \)
(16)(2)\( \sqrt{10} \)
32\( \sqrt{10} \)
