What is 3\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{7} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
8\( \sqrt{7} \)
105
8\( \sqrt{49} \)
15\( \sqrt{14} \)

Solution

To multiply terms with radicals, multiply the coefficients and radicands separately:

3\( \sqrt{7} \) x 5\( \sqrt{7} \)
(3 x 5)\( \sqrt{7 \times 7} \)
15\( \sqrt{49} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

15\( \sqrt{49} \)
15\( \sqrt{7^2} \)
(15)(7)
105


2

What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{75} \) - \( 9 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
26\( \sqrt{3} \)
-2\( \sqrt{75} \)
63\( \sqrt{3} \)
-2\( \sqrt{-16} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{75} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
7\( \sqrt{25 \times 3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
7\( \sqrt{5^2 \times 3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(7)(5)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
35\( \sqrt{3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)

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

35\( \sqrt{3} \) - 9\( \sqrt{3} \)
(35 - 9)\( \sqrt{3} \)
26\( \sqrt{3} \)


3

What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 9 hours at an average speed of 55 miles per hour?

87% Answer Correctly
200 miles
495 miles
135 miles
160 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 = \( 55mph \times 9h \)
495 miles


4

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
28
36
33
45

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 7

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 + 7
a6 = 29 + 7
a6 = 36


5

Latoya scored 78% on her final exam. If each question was worth 2 points and there were 120 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Latoya answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
32
47
39
43

Solution

Latoya scored 78% on the test meaning she earned 78% of the possible points on the test. There were 120 possible points on the test so she earned 120 x 0.78 = 94 points. Each question is worth 2 points so she got \( \frac{94}{2} \) = 47 questions right.
