1

Which of these numbers is a factor of 28?

68% Answer Correctly
10
28
25
19

Solution

The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.


2

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = b

all of these are false

b1 = 1

b0 = 1


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).


3

In a class of 22 students, 12 are taking German and 6 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 4 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
8
15
16
13

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 12 + 6 = 18. Of that group of 18, 4 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 18 - 4 = 14 who are taking at least one language. 22 - 14 = 8 students who are not taking either language.


4

Simplify \( \sqrt{18} \)

62% Answer Correctly
3\( \sqrt{4} \)
6\( \sqrt{4} \)
7\( \sqrt{4} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{18} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \)
3\( \sqrt{2} \)


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
11
6
4
20

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 2

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 2
a6 = 9 + 2
a6 = 11
