1

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
34
36
40
45

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 7

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 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36


2

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

absolute value

greatest common factor

Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


3

a(b + c) = ab + ac defines which of the following?

74% Answer Correctly

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for division

distributive property for division

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for multiplication helps in solving expressions like a(b + c). It specifies that the result of multiplying one number by the sum or difference of two numbers can be obtained by multiplying each number individually and then totaling the results: a(b + c) = ab + ac. For example, 4(10-5) = (4 x 10) - (4 x 5) = 40 - 20 = 20.


4

What is -3x2 - 8x2?

71% Answer Correctly
-11x2
5x4
-11x-2
11x2

Solution

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

-3x2 - 8x2
(-3 - 8)x2
-11x2


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 120 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?

85% Answer Correctly
7 hours
2 hours
6 hours
9 hours

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{120mi}{60mph} \)
2 hours
