What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{28} \) + \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
35\( \sqrt{196} \)
17\( \sqrt{7} \)
35\( \sqrt{28} \)
35\( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{28} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
10\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)

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

10\( \sqrt{7} \) + 7\( \sqrt{7} \)
(10 + 7)\( \sqrt{7} \)
17\( \sqrt{7} \)


2

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

b1 = b

b0 = 1

all of these are false


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


3

Find the average of the following numbers: 17, 11, 16, 12.

75% Answer Correctly
18
13
12
14

Solution

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

\( \frac{17 + 11 + 16 + 12}{4} \) = \( \frac{56}{4} \) = 14


4

How many hours does it take a car to travel 245 miles at an average speed of 35 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
8 hours
7 hours
2 hours
9 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 = \( \frac{245mi}{35mph} \)
7 hours


5

11 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 5-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
4
1
6
9

Solution

There are 2 5-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 5 = 10 total seats. There are 11 people needing transportation leaving 11 - 10 = 1 who will have to find other transportation.
