1

Solve for \( \frac{2!}{5!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{60} \)
\( \frac{1}{42} \)
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:

\( \frac{2!}{5!} \)
\( \frac{2 \times 1}{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{5 \times 4 \times 3} \)
\( \frac{1}{60} \)


2

-1

\({1 \over 2}\)

1

0


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


3

The total water usage for a city is 35,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 29% is for personal use and 59% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

58% Answer Correctly
14,499
1,800
10,500
14,850

Solution

59% of the water consumption is industrial use and 29% is personal use so (59% - 29%) = 30% more water is used for industrial purposes. 35,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{30}{100} \) x 35,000 gallons = 10,500 gallons.


4

What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{112} \) + \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
28\( \sqrt{16} \)
32\( \sqrt{7} \)
11\( \sqrt{784} \)
28\( \sqrt{112} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

7\( \sqrt{112} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(7)(4)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
28\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

28\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(28 + 4)\( \sqrt{7} \)
32\( \sqrt{7} \)


5

What is (z2)5?

79% Answer Correctly
z10
5z2
z7
z3

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(z2)5
z(2 * 5)
z10
