1

The __________ is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.

56% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

least common factor

absolute value

least common multiple


Solution

The least common multiple (LCM) is the smallest positive integer that is a multiple of two or more integers.


2

If a car travels 360 miles in 8 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
45 mph
15 mph
35 mph
75 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{360mi}{8h} \)
45 mph


3

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{125} \) + \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{5} \)

35% Answer Correctly
29\( \sqrt{5} \)
20\( \sqrt{125} \)
20\( \sqrt{25} \)
9\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

5\( \sqrt{125} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
5\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(5)(5)\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
25\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

25\( \sqrt{5} \) + 4\( \sqrt{5} \)
(25 + 4)\( \sqrt{5} \)
29\( \sqrt{5} \)


4

What is 4\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{3} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
16\( \sqrt{3} \)
16\( \sqrt{2} \)
16\( \sqrt{6} \)
16\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

4\( \sqrt{2} \) x 4\( \sqrt{3} \)
(4 x 4)\( \sqrt{2 \times 3} \)
16\( \sqrt{6} \)


5

What is 3z3 + 8z3?

66% Answer Correctly
11z-6
11z3
-5z-3
5z-3

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

3z3 + 8z3
(3 + 8)z3
11z3
