1

What is 4\( \sqrt{6} \) x 5\( \sqrt{7} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{7} \)
20\( \sqrt{42} \)
9\( \sqrt{6} \)
20\( \sqrt{13} \)

Solution

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

4\( \sqrt{6} \) x 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(4 x 5)\( \sqrt{6 \times 7} \)
20\( \sqrt{42} \)


2

What is \( \frac{8a^6}{5a^2} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)a3
\(\frac{5}{8}\)a4
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)a4
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)a12

Solution

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

\( \frac{8a^6}{5a^2} \)
\( \frac{8}{5} \) a(6 - 2)
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)a4


3

What is -y3 + 3y3?

66% Answer Correctly
2y3
2y6
-4y-3
4y3

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so add the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

-1y3 + 3y3
(-1 + 3)y3
2y3


4

A tiger in a zoo has consumed 72 pounds of food in 8 days. If the tiger continues to eat at the same rate, in how many more days will its total food consumtion be 99 pounds?

56% Answer Correctly
3
6
7
4

Solution

If the tiger has consumed 72 pounds of food in 8 days that's \( \frac{72}{8} \) = 9 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 99 - 72 = 27 more pounds of food to reach 99 pounds total. At 9 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{27}{9} \) = 3 more days.


5

In a class of 27 students, 11 are taking German and 5 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 3 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
27
17
14
22

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 11 + 5 = 16. Of that group of 16, 3 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 16 - 3 = 13 who are taking at least one language. 27 - 13 = 14 students who are not taking either language.
