1

Convert z-3 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{3}{z} \)
\( \frac{1}{z^3} \)
\( \frac{1}{z^{-3}} \)
\( \frac{-3}{-z} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


2

What is -b3 x 5b2?

75% Answer Correctly
-5b3
-5b5
4b2
-5b2

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

-b3 x 5b2
(-1 x 5)b(3 + 2)
-5b5


3

April scored 77% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 180 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
46
57
41
54

Solution

April scored 77% on the test meaning she earned 77% of the possible points on the test. There were 180 possible points on the test so she earned 180 x 0.77 = 138 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{138}{3} \) = 46 questions right.


4

Find the average of the following numbers: 13, 5, 11, 7.

74% Answer Correctly
13
8
9
4

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{13 + 5 + 11 + 7}{4} \) = \( \frac{36}{4} \) = 9


5

What is \( \frac{5a^6}{7a^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{5}{7}\)a3
1\(\frac{2}{5}\)a-3
\(\frac{5}{7}\)a\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{5}{7}\)a2

Solution

To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:

\( \frac{5a^6}{7a^3} \)
\( \frac{5}{7} \) a(6 - 3)
\(\frac{5}{7}\)a3
