What is 2y4 - 4y4?

71% Answer Correctly
6y16
6y8
-2y-4
-2y4

Solution

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

2y4 - 4y4
(2 - 4)y4
-2y4


2

What is \( \frac{21\sqrt{56}}{7\sqrt{8}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)
7 \( \sqrt{3} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{7}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{21\sqrt{56}}{7\sqrt{8}} \)
\( \frac{21}{7} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{56}{8}} \)
3 \( \sqrt{7} \)

Solve for \( \frac{6!}{3!} \)

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{3024} \)
120
210
\( \frac{1}{840} \)

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:

\( \frac{6!}{3!} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{6 \times 5 \times 4}{1} \)
\( 6 \times 5 \times 4 \)
