What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{50} \) + \( 2 \)\( \sqrt{2} \)

35% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{25} \)
9\( \sqrt{100} \)
37\( \sqrt{2} \)
14\( \sqrt{100} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{50} \) + 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{25 \times 2} \) + 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
7\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 2} \) + 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
(7)(5)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
35\( \sqrt{2} \) + 2\( \sqrt{2} \)

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

35\( \sqrt{2} \) + 2\( \sqrt{2} \)
(35 + 2)\( \sqrt{2} \)
37\( \sqrt{2} \)

Which of the following is an improper fraction?

70% Answer Correctly

\(1 {2 \over 5} \)

\({2 \over 5} \)

\({a \over 5} \)

\({7 \over 5} \)


Solution

A rational number (or fraction) is represented as a ratio between two integers, a and b, and has the form \({a \over b}\) where a is the numerator and b is the denominator. An improper fraction (\({5 \over 3} \)) has a numerator with a greater absolute value than the denominator and can be converted into a mixed number (\(1 {2 \over 3} \)) which has a whole number part and a fractional part.


3

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common multiple

absolute value

greatest common factor

least common multiple


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


4

A factor is a positive __________ that divides evenly into a given number.

78% Answer Correctly

mixed number

integer

fraction

improper fraction


Solution

A factor is a positive integer that divides evenly into a given number. For example, the factors of 8 are 1, 2, 4, and 8.


5

Which of the following is not an integer?

77% Answer Correctly

1

\({1 \over 2}\)

0
