2

What is (a5)5?

80% Answer Correctly
5a5
a10
a0
a25

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(a5)5
a(5 * 5)
a25


3

If a rectangle is twice as long as it is wide and has a perimeter of 18 meters, what is the area of the rectangle?

47% Answer Correctly
8 m2
98 m2
128 m2
18 m2

Solution

The area of a rectangle is width (w) x height (h). In this problem we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is wide so h = 2w. The perimeter of a rectangle is 2w + 2h and we know that the perimeter of this rectangle is 18 meters so the equation becomes: 2w + 2h = 18.

Putting these two equations together and solving for width (w):

2w + 2h = 18
w + h = \( \frac{18}{2} \)
w + h = 9
w = 9 - h

From the question we know that h = 2w so substituting 2w for h gives us:

w = 9 - 2w
3w = 9
w = \( \frac{9}{3} \)
w = 3

Since h = 2w that makes h = (2 x 3) = 6 and the area = h x w = 3 x 6 = 18 m2


4

What is \( \frac{15\sqrt{6}}{5\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{3} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{15\sqrt{6}}{5\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{15}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{6}{2}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{3} \)

In a class of 26 students, 13 are taking German and 11 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 8 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
10
13
15
24

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 13 + 11 = 24. Of that group of 24, 8 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 24 - 8 = 16 who are taking at least one language. 26 - 16 = 10 students who are not taking either language.
