What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{28} \) - \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)
| 45\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| -4\( \sqrt{28} \) | |
| -4\( \sqrt{7} \) | |
| \( \sqrt{7} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
5\( \sqrt{28} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
10\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
10\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)What is \( \frac{5c^6}{7c^4} \)?
| \(\frac{5}{7}\)c2 | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)c10 | |
| 1\(\frac{2}{5}\)c-2 | |
| \(\frac{5}{7}\)c24 |
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:
\( \frac{5c^6}{7c^4} \)
\( \frac{5}{7} \) c(6 - 4)
\(\frac{5}{7}\)c2
A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 50% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $29, how much will he pay for both shirts?
| $43.50 | |
| $34.80 | |
| $14.50 | |
| $31.90 |
By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $29 x \( \frac{50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$29 x 50}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1450}{100} \) = $14.50 on the second shirt.
So, his total cost will be
$29.00 + ($29.00 - $14.50)
$29.00 + $14.50
$43.50
Solve for \( \frac{3!}{4!} \)
| \( \frac{1}{15120} \) | |
| 56 | |
| \( \frac{1}{210} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{4} \) |
A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:
\( \frac{3!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
A sports card collection contains football, baseball, and basketball cards. If the ratio of football to baseball cards is 3 to 2 and the ratio of baseball to basketball cards is 3 to 1, what is the ratio of football to basketball cards?
| 9:2 | |
| 1:4 | |
| 9:6 | |
| 5:4 |
The ratio of football cards to baseball cards is 3:2 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards is 3:1. To solve this problem, we need the baseball card side of each ratio to be equal so we need to rewrite the ratios in terms of a common number of baseball cards. (Think of this like finding the common denominator when adding fractions.) The ratio of football to baseball cards can also be written as 9:6 and the ratio of baseball cards to basketball cards as 6:2. So, the ratio of football cards to basketball cards is football:baseball, baseball:basketball or 9:6, 6:2 which reduces to 9:2.
