Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

\({1 \over 2}\)

-1

0

1


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


2

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
6
3
17
11

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2

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
a6 = 9 + 2
a6 = 11


3

What is -9c3 x 4c7?

75% Answer Correctly
-36c7
-36c21
-36c10
-5c10

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:

-9c3 x 4c7
(-9 x 4)c(3 + 7)
-36c10


4

In a class of 22 students, 9 are taking German and 14 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 7 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
6
20
16
13

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 9 + 14 = 23. Of that group of 23, 7 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 23 - 7 = 16 who are taking at least one language. 22 - 16 = 6 students who are not taking either language.


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{81}{81}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
1
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
\(\frac{1}{3}\)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{81}{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{81}}{\sqrt{81}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9^2}}{\sqrt{9^2}} \)
