1

Bob loaned Ezra $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$135
$27
$70
$14

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 = 0.05 x $1,400
i = $70


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

7

5

9

2


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.


3

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{48} \) + \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{48} \)
26\( \sqrt{3} \)
30\( \sqrt{3} \)
30\( \sqrt{48} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{48} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
5\( \sqrt{16 \times 3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
5\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
(5)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
20\( \sqrt{3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)

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

20\( \sqrt{3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
(20 + 6)\( \sqrt{3} \)
26\( \sqrt{3} \)


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{8} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{4} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
4\( \sqrt{4} \)
8\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{8} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 2} \)
2\( \sqrt{2} \)
