What is the least common multiple of 6 and 14?
| 67 | |
| 42 | |
| 40 | |
| 74 |
The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 have in common.
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 4 hours at an average speed of 40 miles per hour?
| 30 miles | |
| 350 miles | |
| 160 miles | |
| 260 miles |
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 40mph \times 4h \)
160 miles
If \( \left|y - 3\right| \) - 2 = 6, which of these is a possible value for y?
| -22 | |
| -8 | |
| -5 | |
| 1 |
First, solve for \( \left|y - 3\right| \):
\( \left|y - 3\right| \) - 2 = 6
\( \left|y - 3\right| \) = 6 + 2
\( \left|y - 3\right| \) = 8
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (y - 3) must equal + 8 or -8 for \( \left|y - 3\right| \) to equal 8:
| y - 3 = 8 y = 8 + 3 y = 11 | y - 3 = -8 y = -8 + 3 y = -5 |
So, y = -5 or y = 11.
Which of the following statements about exponents is false?
b1 = b |
|
all of these are false |
|
b0 = 1 |
|
b1 = 1 |
A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).
Frank loaned Betty $700 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?
| $714 | |
| $728 | |
| $721 | |
| $735 |
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 $700
i = 0.03 x $700
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $700 + $21
