1

Convert z-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{z^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{1}{z^2} \)
\( \frac{-2}{-z} \)
\( \frac{2}{z} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.

If a car travels 280 miles in 7 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
50 mph
35 mph
40 mph
60 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 = \( \frac{280mi}{7h} \)
40 mph


3

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1


Solution

A factorial has the form n! and is the product of the integer (n) and all the positive integers below it. For example, 5! = 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 120.


4

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

39% Answer Correctly
25\( \sqrt{81} \)
10\( \sqrt{3} \)
0\( \sqrt{27} \)
0\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{27} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
5\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
5\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
(5)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
15\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

15\( \sqrt{3} \) - 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
(15 - 5)\( \sqrt{3} \)
10\( \sqrt{3} \)


5

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

56% Answer Correctly

least common factor

absolute value

greatest common factor

least common multiple


Solution

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