What is (c2)4?

79% Answer Correctly
c6
c2
c8
2c4

Solution

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

(c2)4
c(2 * 4)
c8

Damon loaned Bob $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$28
$12
$56
$22

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 $1,400
i = 0.04 x $1,400
i = $56


3

What is 6a6 - 8a6?

71% Answer Correctly
-2a6
2a-6
2a6
14a12

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

6a6 - 8a6
(6 - 8)a6
-2a6


4

Find the average of the following numbers: 14, 8, 14, 8.

74% Answer Correctly
9
8
11
13

Solution

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

\( \frac{14 + 8 + 14 + 8}{4} \) = \( \frac{44}{4} \) = 11

What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) - \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{75} \)
-1\( \sqrt{225} \)
12\( \sqrt{3} \)
11\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{75} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
(3)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
15\( \sqrt{3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

15\( \sqrt{3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
(15 - 4)\( \sqrt{3} \)
11\( \sqrt{3} \)
