What is 4b5 x 8b6?
| 12b6 | |
| 12b30 | |
| 32b11 | |
| 32b30 |
To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
4b5 x 8b6
(4 x 8)b(5 + 6)
32b11
What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{9} \)?
| 6 | |
| \(\frac{1}{9}\) | |
| 1 | |
| \(\frac{3}{10}\) |
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{2}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{3}{9} \) = \( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{9}{3} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{2}{6} \) x \( \frac{9}{3} \) = \( \frac{2 x 9}{6 x 3} \) = \( \frac{18}{18} \) = 1
What is \( \frac{8}{8} \) + \( \frac{6}{12} \)?
| 2 \( \frac{2}{7} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{24} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{3}{12} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{2}\) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [24, 48, 72, 96] making 24 the smallest multiple 8 and 12 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{8 x 3}{8 x 3} \) + \( \frac{6 x 2}{12 x 2} \)
\( \frac{24}{24} \) + \( \frac{12}{24} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{24 + 12}{24} \) = \( \frac{36}{24} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
What is 6\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)?
| 11\( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 30\( \sqrt{14} \) | |
| 30\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 11\( \sqrt{14} \) |
To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:
6\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
(6 x 5)\( \sqrt{7 \times 2} \)
30\( \sqrt{14} \)
What is the least common multiple of 3 and 7?
| 8 | |
| 1 | |
| 21 | |
| 10 |
The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 7 are [7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70]. The first few multiples they share are [21, 42, 63, 84] making 21 the smallest multiple 3 and 7 have in common.
