1

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

92% Answer Correctly
34
36
38
32

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

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

78% Answer Correctly

improper fraction

integer

fraction

mixed number


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


3

What is \( \frac{42\sqrt{8}}{6\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{7}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{4}} \)
4 \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{42\sqrt{8}}{6\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{42}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{8}{2}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{4} \)


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
37\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
20%
25%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

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 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%


5

What is 5y7 + 3y7?

66% Answer Correctly
8y7
2y-7
2y7
8y-14

Solution

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

5y7 + 3y7
(5 + 3)y7
8y7
