If \( \left|c + 0\right| \) + 9 = -9, which of these is a possible value for c?
| -18 | |
| 9 | |
| -2 | |
| -10 |
First, solve for \( \left|c + 0\right| \):
\( \left|c + 0\right| \) + 9 = -9
\( \left|c + 0\right| \) = -9 - 9
\( \left|c + 0\right| \) = -18
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (c + 0) must equal - 18 or --18 for \( \left|c + 0\right| \) to equal -18:
| c + 0 = -18 c = -18 + 0 c = -18 | c + 0 = 18 c = 18 + 0 c = 18 |
So, c = 18 or c = -18.
Monica scored 78% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Monica answer correctly?
| 59 | |
| 47 | |
| 32 | |
| 52 |
Monica scored 78% on the test meaning she earned 78% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.78 = 94 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{94}{2} \) = 47 questions right.
If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 54 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?
| 50 m2 | |
| 8 m2 | |
| 98 m2 | |
| 162 m2 |
The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 54 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 54.
Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):
2w + 2h = 54
w + h = \( \frac{54}{2} \)
w + h = 27
w = 27 - h
From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:
w = 27 - 2w
3w = 27
w = \( \frac{27}{3} \)
w = 9
Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 9) = 18 and the area = h x w = 9 x 18 = 162 m2
What is -5y6 x 9y7?
| -45y6 | |
| 4y42 | |
| -45y13 | |
| -45y |
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:
-5y6 x 9y7
(-5 x 9)y(6 + 7)
-45y13
Bob loaned Damon $300 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?
| $9 | |
| $24 | |
| $28 | |
| $16 |
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 $300
i = 0.03 x $300
i = $9
