What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{112} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

38% Answer Correctly
15\( \sqrt{16} \)
15\( \sqrt{784} \)
7\( \sqrt{7} \)
-2\( \sqrt{112} \)

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{112} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
3\( \sqrt{16 \times 7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
3\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(3)(4)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
12\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)

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

12\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(12 - 5)\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{7} \)

5

Charlie loaned Bob $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 5%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$55
$14
$13
$81

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 $1,100
i = 0.05 x $1,100
i = $55
