1

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b0 = 1

b1 = b

all of these are false

b1 = 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).


2

Charlie loaned Christine $800 at an annual interest rate of 3%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$856
$824
$808
$864

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $800
i = 0.03 x $800

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $800 + $24
total = $824


3

Solve for \( \frac{5!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{42} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)
\( \frac{1}{336} \)

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{5!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
15%
35%
27\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%


5

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

fraction

improper fraction

mixed number
