1

What is \( \frac{28\sqrt{14}}{4\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{28\sqrt{14}}{4\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{28}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{14}{2}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{7} \)


2

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{125} \) + \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{125} \)
11\( \sqrt{5} \)
30\( \sqrt{25} \)
31\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{125} \) + 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \) + 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \) + 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
(5)(5)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
25\( \sqrt{5} \) + 6\( \sqrt{5} \)

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

25\( \sqrt{5} \) + 6\( \sqrt{5} \)
(25 + 6)\( \sqrt{5} \)
31\( \sqrt{5} \)


3

What is \( \frac{-8b^7}{2b^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
-4b10
-4b4
-\(\frac{1}{4}\)b10
-4b-4

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:

\( \frac{-8b^7}{2b^3} \)
\( \frac{-8}{2} \) b(7 - 3)
-4b4


4

Solve 5 + (4 + 3) ÷ 5 x 4 - 22

52% Answer Correctly
1
6\(\frac{3}{5}\)
2
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

5 + (4 + 3) ÷ 5 x 4 - 22
P: 5 + (7) ÷ 5 x 4 - 22
E: 5 + 7 ÷ 5 x 4 - 4
MD: 5 + \( \frac{7}{5} \) x 4 - 4
MD: 5 + \( \frac{28}{5} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{25}{5} \) + \( \frac{28}{5} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{53}{5} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{53 - 20}{5} \)
\( \frac{33}{5} \)
6\(\frac{3}{5}\)


5

Bob loaned Jennifer $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,030
$1,060
$1,010
$1,020

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 $1,000
i = 0.03 x $1,000

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

total = $1,000 + $30
total = $1,030
