Simplify \( \sqrt{125} \)

62% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{5} \)
6\( \sqrt{10} \)
9\( \sqrt{5} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{125} \)
\( \sqrt{25 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 5} \)
5\( \sqrt{5} \)

Convert 7,502,000 to scientific notation.

62% Answer Correctly
7.502 x 10-5
7.502 x 105
75.02 x 105
7.502 x 106

Solution

A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:

7,502,000 in scientific notation is 7.502 x 106

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

56% Answer Correctly

distributive property for division

commutative property for division

commutative property for multiplication

distributive 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, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).

If a car travels 480 miles in 8 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
30 mph
50 mph
45 mph
60 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{480mi}{8h} \)
60 mph
