What is \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) - \( 8 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
-2\( \sqrt{3} \)
22\( \sqrt{3} \)
-2\( \sqrt{-16} \)
48\( \sqrt{75} \)

Solution

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

6\( \sqrt{75} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(6)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
30\( \sqrt{3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)

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

30\( \sqrt{3} \) - 8\( \sqrt{3} \)
(30 - 8)\( \sqrt{3} \)
22\( \sqrt{3} \)

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
31
22
28
23

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2(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 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31


3

If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 37,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?

49% Answer Correctly
27,750
33,600
24,750
34,167

Solution

A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:

37,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{111000}{4} \) = 27,750 fans.


4

4! = ?

85% Answer Correctly

4 x 3 x 2 x 1

3 x 2 x 1

5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1

4 x 3


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.


5

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).
