2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
34
39
31
27

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


3

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication

distributive property for division

commutative property for division


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


4

Alex loaned Monty $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
$49
$70
$35
$99

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


5

Damon loaned Monica $1,100 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
$1,199
$1,133
$1,188
$1,155

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 $1,100
i = 0.03 x $1,100

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

total = $1,100 + $33
total = $1,133
