1

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

69% Answer Correctly
69
61
56
58

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

Find the average of the following numbers: 12, 4, 9, 7.

74% Answer Correctly
9
6
8
13

Solution

To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:

\( \frac{12 + 4 + 9 + 7}{4} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8


3

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
20%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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%


4

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

integer

fraction

mixed number

improper fraction


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


5

What is 8a3 x 3a2?

75% Answer Correctly
24a6
11a5
24a5
11a6

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

8a3 x 3a2
(8 x 3)a(3 + 2)
24a5
