What is 7\( \sqrt{3} \) x 4\( \sqrt{7} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
28\( \sqrt{7} \)
11\( \sqrt{3} \)
28\( \sqrt{21} \)
28\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{3} \) x 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(7 x 4)\( \sqrt{3 \times 7} \)
28\( \sqrt{21} \)


2

What is -7c6 x 8c3?

75% Answer Correctly
c6
-56c9
c3
c18

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:

-7c6 x 8c3
(-7 x 8)c(6 + 3)
-56c9


3

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 6 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
390 miles
330 miles
560 miles
495 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 = \( 55mph \times 6h \)
330 miles

Bob loaned Jennifer $400 at an annual interest rate of 2%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$424
$416
$420
$408

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 $400
i = 0.02 x $400

No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:

total = $400 + $8
total = $408

Solve 2 + (2 + 5) ÷ 4 x 5 - 52

53% Answer Correctly
-14\(\frac{1}{4}\)
2
\(\frac{5}{7}\)
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

2 + (2 + 5) ÷ 4 x 5 - 52
P: 2 + (7) ÷ 4 x 5 - 52
E: 2 + 7 ÷ 4 x 5 - 25
MD: 2 + \( \frac{7}{4} \) x 5 - 25
MD: 2 + \( \frac{35}{4} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{8}{4} \) + \( \frac{35}{4} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{43}{4} \) - 25
AS: \( \frac{43 - 100}{4} \)
\( \frac{-57}{4} \)
-14\(\frac{1}{4}\)
