What is -6z3 x 5z7?
| -z10 | |
| -30z4 | |
| -30z10 | |
| -30z-4 |
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:
-6z3 x 5z7
(-6 x 5)z(3 + 7)
-30z10
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 5, 13, 25, 41, __________ ?
| 61 | |
| 64 | |
| 70 | |
| 52 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 4(n - 1)
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 + 4(6 - 1)
a6 = 41 + 4(5)
a6 = 61
What is \( \frac{12\sqrt{15}}{6\sqrt{5}} \)?
| 2 \( \sqrt{3} \) | |
| 3 \( \sqrt{2} \) | |
| 2 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \) | |
| \(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{2} \) |
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{12\sqrt{15}}{6\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{12}{6} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{15}{5}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)
What is \( \frac{2}{6} \) + \( \frac{9}{12} \)?
| \( \frac{1}{12} \) | |
| 1 \( \frac{5}{12} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{1}{12}\) | |
| \( \frac{5}{12} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 12 are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96]. The first few multiples they share are [12, 24, 36, 48, 60] making 12 the smallest multiple 6 and 12 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{2 x 2}{6 x 2} \) + \( \frac{9 x 1}{12 x 1} \)
\( \frac{4}{12} \) + \( \frac{9}{12} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{4 + 9}{12} \) = \( \frac{13}{12} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{12}\)
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 3 hours at an average speed of 20 miles per hour?
| 585 miles | |
| 405 miles | |
| 90 miles | |
| 60 miles |
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 = \( 20mph \times 3h \)
60 miles
