What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
42
44
53
46

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46


2

77% Answer Correctly
8
12
5
23

Solution

The factors of 64 are [1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64] and the factors of 24 are [1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24]. They share 4 factors [1, 2, 4, 8] making 8 the greatest factor 64 and 24 have in common.


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = b

all of these are false

b1 = 1

b0 = 1


Solution

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).


5

This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.

60% Answer Correctly

distributive

PEDMAS

commutative

associative


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
