What is \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{112} \) - \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

38% Answer Correctly
-4\( \sqrt{112} \)
2\( \sqrt{7} \)
12\( \sqrt{16} \)
-4\( \sqrt{784} \)

Solution

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

2\( \sqrt{112} \) - 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \) - 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \) - 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
(2)(4)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
8\( \sqrt{7} \) - 6\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can subtract them:

8\( \sqrt{7} \) - 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
(8 - 6)\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{7} \)

\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?

56% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

distributive property for multiplication

commutative property for multiplication


Solution

The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 10% off." If Ezra buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $46, how much will he pay for both shirts?

57% Answer Correctly
$4.60
$87.40
$48.30
$41.40

Solution

By buying two shirts, Ezra will save $46 x \( \frac{10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$46 x 10}{100} \) = \( \frac{$460}{100} \) = $4.60 on the second shirt.

So, his total cost will be
$46.00 + ($46.00 - $4.60)
$46.00 + $41.40
$87.40


4

Solve for \( \frac{3!}{2!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
3
\( \frac{1}{60480} \)
\( \frac{1}{7} \)
15120

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:

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

5

What is 9a2 x 8a3?

75% Answer Correctly
17a2
72a5
72a2
17a5

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

9a2 x 8a3
(9 x 8)a(2 + 3)
72a5
