What is (x5)5?

79% Answer Correctly
x25
x10
5x5
x0

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(x5)5
x(5 * 5)
x25


2

How many 6-passenger vans will it take to drive all 62 members of the football team to an away game?

80% Answer Correctly
10 vans
11 vans
6 vans
5 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{62}{6} \) = 10\(\frac{1}{3}\)

So, it will take 10 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 11 vans.


3

What is \( \frac{10\sqrt{4}}{5\sqrt{2}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
2 \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)
2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)

Solution

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

\( \frac{10\sqrt{4}}{5\sqrt{2}} \)
\( \frac{10}{5} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{4}{2}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{2} \)


4

11 members of a bridal party need transported to a wedding reception but there are only 2 4-passenger taxis available to take them. How many will need to find other transportation?

75% Answer Correctly
4
2
9
3

Solution

There are 2 4-passenger taxis available so that's 2 x 4 = 8 total seats. There are 11 people needing transportation leaving 11 - 8 = 3 who will have to find other transportation.


5

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

38% Answer Correctly
4\( \sqrt{7} \)
0\( \sqrt{33} \)
0\( \sqrt{16} \)
6\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

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

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

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