What is (b2)3?
| b-1 | |
| b6 | |
| 2b3 | |
| 3b2 |
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(b2)3\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?
commutative property for multiplication |
|
distributive property for multiplication |
|
distributive property for division |
|
commutative property for division |
The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
How many 1 gallon cans worth of fuel would you need to pour into an empty 6 gallon tank to fill it exactly halfway?
| 3 | |
| 7 | |
| 6 | |
| 5 |
To fill a 6 gallon tank exactly halfway you'll need 3 gallons of fuel. Each fuel can holds 1 gallons so:
cans = \( \frac{3 \text{ gallons}}{1 \text{ gallons}} \) = 3
A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 30% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?
| 35% | |
| 32\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 22\(\frac{1}{2}\)% | |
| 15% |
The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 30% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{30\text{%}}{2} \) = 15%
What is \( \frac{8}{6} \) + \( \frac{8}{10} \)?
| 1 \( \frac{6}{30} \) | |
| 2\(\frac{2}{15}\) | |
| \( \frac{9}{13} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{6}{15} \) |
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 10 are [10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90]. The first few multiples they share are [30, 60, 90] making 30 the smallest multiple 6 and 10 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{8 x 5}{6 x 5} \) + \( \frac{8 x 3}{10 x 3} \)
\( \frac{40}{30} \) + \( \frac{24}{30} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{40 + 24}{30} \) = \( \frac{64}{30} \) = 2\(\frac{2}{15}\)
