What is 7c4 x 6c3?

75% Answer Correctly
42c12
42c7
42c
42c3

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:

7c4 x 6c3
(7 x 6)c(4 + 3)
42c7

Frank loaned Jennifer $1,400 at an annual interest rate of 8%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?

71% Answer Correctly
$1,512
$1,484
$1,414
$1,526

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 $1,400
i = 0.08 x $1,400

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

total = $1,400 + $112
total = $1,512

What is \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) + \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

35% Answer Correctly
11\( \sqrt{9} \)
18\( \sqrt{9} \)
18\( \sqrt{27} \)
29\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

9\( \sqrt{27} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
27\( \sqrt{3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

27\( \sqrt{3} \) + 2\( \sqrt{3} \)
(27 + 2)\( \sqrt{3} \)
29\( \sqrt{3} \)
