1

Convert c-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{c^2} \)
\( \frac{1}{c^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{-2}{-c} \)
\( \frac{-2}{c} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 8 hours at an average speed of 30 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
320 miles
180 miles
275 miles
240 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 = \( 30mph \times 8h \)
240 miles


3

What is (x5)4?

80% Answer Correctly
x20
5x4
4x5
x9

Solution

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

(x5)4
x(5 * 4)
x20


4

What is -3c7 x 4c3?

75% Answer Correctly
-12c10
c10
c21
-12c21

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:

-3c7 x 4c3
(-3 x 4)c(7 + 3)
-12c10

Roger loaned Roger $1,000 at an annual interest rate of 6%. If no payments are made, what is the interest owed on this loan at the end of the first year?

74% Answer Correctly
$8
$10
$60
$45

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 $1,000
i = 0.06 x $1,000
i = $60
