1

What is \( \frac{7y^5}{6y^3} \)?

60% Answer Correctly
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)y-2
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)y8
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)y1\(\frac{2}{3}\)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)y2

Solution

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

\( \frac{7y^5}{6y^3} \)
\( \frac{7}{6} \) y(5 - 3)
1\(\frac{1}{6}\)y2


2

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

67% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{3} \)
56
120
\( \frac{1}{9} \)

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:

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


3

Frank loaned Monty $600 at an annual interest rate of 4%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$54
$24
$5
$28

Solution

The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:

interest = annual interest rate x loan amount

i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $600
i = 0.04 x $600
i = $24


4

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

b0 = 1

b1 = b

all of these are false


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


5

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 25 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
120 miles
45 miles
480 miles
25 miles

Solution

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

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)

Solving for distance:

distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 25mph \times 1h \)
25 miles
