What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{15}}{2\sqrt{3}} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) | |
| 5 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{5}} \) | |
| 5 \( \sqrt{5} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{5}\) \( \sqrt{5} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{10\sqrt{15}}{2\sqrt{3}} \)
\( \frac{10}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{15}{3}} \)
5 \( \sqrt{5} \)
Solve for \( \frac{3!}{4!} \)
| 7 | |
| \( \frac{1}{15120} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{4} \) | |
| \( \frac{1}{20} \) |
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:
\( \frac{3!}{4!} \)
\( \frac{3 \times 2 \times 1}{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
\( \frac{1}{4} \)
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?
| 61 | |
| 63 | |
| 58 | |
| 66 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 4(n - 1)
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 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61
What is \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) + \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)
| 36\( \sqrt{9} \) | |
| 13\( \sqrt{27} \) | |
| 13\( \sqrt{81} \) | |
| 21\( \sqrt{3} \) |
To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:
4\( \sqrt{27} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
4\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(4)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
12\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:
12\( \sqrt{3} \) + 9\( \sqrt{3} \)What is \( \frac{5}{8} \) - \( \frac{6}{10} \)?
| \(\frac{1}{40}\) | |
| 2 \( \frac{3}{10} \) | |
| \( \frac{7}{16} \) | |
| \( \frac{4}{40} \) |
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 8 are [8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [40, 80] making 40 the smallest multiple 8 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{5 x 5}{8 x 5} \) - \( \frac{6 x 4}{10 x 4} \)
\( \frac{25}{40} \) - \( \frac{24}{40} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{25 - 24}{40} \) = \( \frac{1}{40} \) = \(\frac{1}{40}\)
