What is -3y4 x 7y2?

75% Answer Correctly
4y8
-21y-2
4y4
-21y6

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:

-3y4 x 7y2
(-3 x 7)y(4 + 2)
-21y6


2

What is \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{175} \) - \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

38% Answer Correctly
-4\( \sqrt{175} \)
16\( \sqrt{7} \)
-4\( \sqrt{1225} \)
-4\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{175} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{25 \times 7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
5\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(5)(5)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
25\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)

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

25\( \sqrt{7} \) - 9\( \sqrt{7} \)
(25 - 9)\( \sqrt{7} \)
16\( \sqrt{7} \)


3

A triathlon course includes a 100m swim, a 30.7km bike ride, and a 9.3km run. What is the total length of the race course?

69% Answer Correctly
59.7km
40.1km
39.2km
45.8km

Solution

To add these distances, they must share the same unit so first you need to first convert the swim distance from meters (m) to kilometers (km) before adding it to the bike and run distances which are already in km. To convert 100 meters to kilometers, divide the distance by 1000 to get 0.1km then add the remaining distances:

total distance = swim + bike + run
total distance = 0.1km + 30.7km + 9.3km
total distance = 40.1km


4

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 7 hours at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
420 miles
210 miles
125 miles
60 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 = \( 60mph \times 7h \)
420 miles


5

How many hours does it take a car to travel 300 miles at an average speed of 60 miles per hour?

86% Answer Correctly
5 hours
2 hours
3 hours
4 hours

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 time:

time = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{speed}} \)
time = \( \frac{300mi}{60mph} \)
5 hours
