A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
30%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%
25%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%


2

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

b1 = b

all of these are false

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).

Solve 2 + (4 + 2) ÷ 2 x 4 - 52

52% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{6}{7}\)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
-11
1

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

2 + (4 + 2) ÷ 2 x 4 - 52
P: 2 + (6) ÷ 2 x 4 - 52
E: 2 + 6 ÷ 2 x 4 - 25
MD: 2 + \( \frac{6}{2} \) x 4 - 25
MD: 2 + \( \frac{24}{2} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{4}{2} \) + \( \frac{24}{2} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{28}{2} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{28 - 50}{2} \)
\( \frac{-22}{2} \)
-11

What is 7\( \sqrt{8} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
12\( \sqrt{2} \)
35\( \sqrt{10} \)
12\( \sqrt{8} \)
140

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{8} \) x 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
(7 x 5)\( \sqrt{8 \times 2} \)
35\( \sqrt{16} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

35\( \sqrt{16} \)
35\( \sqrt{4^2} \)
(35)(4)
140


5

Which of these numbers is a factor of 28?

68% Answer Correctly
16
14
9
12

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.
