What is \( 3 \)\( \sqrt{27} \) - \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{3} \)

38% Answer Correctly
-4\( \sqrt{81} \)
21\( \sqrt{27} \)
21\( \sqrt{9} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

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

3\( \sqrt{27} \) - 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{9 \times 3} \) - 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 3} \) - 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
(3)(3)\( \sqrt{3} \) - 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
9\( \sqrt{3} \) - 7\( \sqrt{3} \)

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

9\( \sqrt{3} \) - 7\( \sqrt{3} \)
(9 - 7)\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)


2

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

78% Answer Correctly

integer

mixed number

improper fraction

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.


3

If a car travels 300 miles in 6 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
50 mph
75 mph
20 mph
55 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{300mi}{6h} \)
50 mph


4

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{2!} \)

66% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{42} \)
30
15120
12

Solution

A factorial is the product of an integer and all the positive integers below it. To solve a fraction featuring factorials, expand the factorials and cancel out like numbers:

\( \frac{4!}{2!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3}{1} \)
\( 4 \times 3 \)
12


5

What is 7z6 x 5z5?

75% Answer Correctly
12z11
12z5
35z-1
35z11

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

7z6 x 5z5
(7 x 5)z(6 + 5)
35z11
