What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{63} \) + \( 4 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
28\( \sqrt{7} \)
25\( \sqrt{7} \)
11\( \sqrt{441} \)
11\( \sqrt{63} \)

Solution

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

7\( \sqrt{63} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{9 \times 7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(7)(3)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
21\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)

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

21\( \sqrt{7} \) + 4\( \sqrt{7} \)
(21 + 4)\( \sqrt{7} \)
25\( \sqrt{7} \)


2

Which of the following is not a prime number?

65% Answer Correctly

7

5

9

2


Solution

A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.

78% Answer Correctly

1

-1

\({1 \over 2}\)

0


Solution

An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.


4

If there were a total of 400 raffle tickets sold and you bought 12 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
11%
17%
19%
3%

Solution

You have 12 out of the total of 400 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{12}{400} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{12 \times 100}{400} \) = \( \frac{1200}{400} \) = 3% chance to win the raffle.


5

If \(\left|a\right| = 7\), which of the following best describes a?

67% Answer Correctly

a = -7

a = 7

none of these is correct

a = 7 or a = -7


Solution

The absolute value is the positive magnitude of a particular number or variable and is indicated by two vertical lines: \(\left|-5\right| = 5\). In the case of a variable absolute value (\(\left|a\right| = 5\)) the value of a can be either positive or negative (a = -5 or a = 5).
