What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) - \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)
| 16\( \sqrt{25} \) | |
| 0\( \sqrt{25} \) | |
| 16\( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 0\( \sqrt{75} \) |
To subtract these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
4\( \sqrt{75} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
(4)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
20\( \sqrt{3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:
20\( \sqrt{3} \) - 4\( \sqrt{3} \)What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?
| 44 | |
| 40 | |
| 36 | |
| 29 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 7
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 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36
A triathlon course includes a 400m swim, a 20.2km bike ride, and a 13.0km run. What is the total length of the race course?
| 37.1km | |
| 60km | |
| 38.6km | |
| 33.6km |
To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 400 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.4km then add the remaining distances:
total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.4km + 20.2km + 13.0km
total distance = 33.6km
Ezra loaned Monty $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?
| $135 | |
| $13 | |
| $3 | |
| $70 |
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 = 0.07 x $1,000
i = $70
14 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 3 3-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?
| 9 | |
| 6 | |
| 5 | |
| 1 |
There are 3 3-passenger taxis available so that's 3 x 3 = 9 total seats. There are 14 people needing transportation leaving 14 - 9 = 5 who will have to find other transportation.
