1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?

68% Answer Correctly
59
67
57
61

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 4(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 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61


2

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

56% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

least common multiple

absolute value

least common factor


Solution

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


3

What is \( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \)?

68% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{9}{35}\)
\(\frac{1}{24}\)
\(\frac{6}{35}\)
\(\frac{9}{10}\)

Solution

To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{3}{5} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{6} \) = \( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{3}{5} \) x \( \frac{6}{4} \) = \( \frac{3 x 6}{5 x 4} \) = \( \frac{18}{20} \) = \(\frac{9}{10}\)


4

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

absolute value

least common multiple

greatest common multiple

greatest common factor


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


5

What is \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) + \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
7\( \sqrt{225} \)
10\( \sqrt{75} \)
15\( \sqrt{3} \)
10\( \sqrt{25} \)

Solution

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

2\( \sqrt{75} \) + 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) + 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) + 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
(2)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 5\( \sqrt{3} \)
10\( \sqrt{3} \) + 5\( \sqrt{3} \)

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

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