1

Convert y-4 to remove the negative exponent.

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-4}{-y} \)
\( \frac{4}{y} \)
\( \frac{-4}{y} \)
\( \frac{1}{y^4} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


2

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
3
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)
1\(\frac{1}{7}\)
\(\frac{5}{7}\)

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{4}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{2^2}} \)
\( \frac{3}{2} \)
1\(\frac{1}{2}\)


3

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
1680
\( \frac{1}{1680} \)
12
8

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:

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

PEDMAS

commutative

associative

distributive


Solution

The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
