1

Convert y-4 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-4}{y} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^{-4}} \)
\( \frac{-1}{-4y^{4}} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^4} \)

Solution

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


2

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common factor

least common multiple

absolute value

greatest common multiple


Solution

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


3

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

commutative property for division

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 50% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
20%
15%
22\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
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 50% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{50\text{%}}{2} \) = 25%


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
35
24
26
19

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 5

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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26
