2

What is 7z2 - 8z2?

71% Answer Correctly
15z4
-z2
z2
-z-2

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

7z2 - 8z2
(7 - 8)z2
-z2


3

What is \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{28} \) - \( 5 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

39% Answer Correctly
-3\( \sqrt{28} \)
-1\( \sqrt{7} \)
-3\( \sqrt{45} \)
10\( \sqrt{196} \)

Solution

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

2\( \sqrt{28} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
2\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(2)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
4\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)

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

4\( \sqrt{7} \) - 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(4 - 5)\( \sqrt{7} \)
-1\( \sqrt{7} \)


4

What is (z3)5?

80% Answer Correctly
z-2
3z5
z15
z8

Solution

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

(z3)5
z(3 * 5)
z15
