Which of the following statements about exponents is false?
b0 = 1 |
|
b1 = b |
|
all of these are false |
|
b1 = 1 |
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).
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?
| $856 | |
| $824 | |
| $808 | |
| $864 |
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 + $24Solve for \( \frac{5!}{6!} \)
| \( \frac{1}{42} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{6} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{3024} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{336} \) |
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:
\( \frac{5!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
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?
| 15% | |
| 35% | |
| 27\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 37\(\frac{1}{2}\)% |
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%
