What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 10, 19, 31, __________ ?

69% Answer Correctly
45
37
46
54

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3(n - 1)

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 + 3(6 - 1)
a6 = 31 + 3(5)
a6 = 46

Betty scored 90% on her final exam. If each question was worth 3 points and there were 90 possible points on the exam, how many questions did Betty answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
27
19
24
22

Solution

Betty scored 90% on the test meaning she earned 90% of the possible points on the test. There were 90 possible points on the test so she earned 90 x 0.9 = 81 points. Each question is worth 3 points so she got \( \frac{81}{3} \) = 27 questions right.

4

Convert a-2 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{-1}{a^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{1}{a^{-2}} \)
\( \frac{1}{a^2} \)
\( \frac{-2}{a} \)

Solution

To convert a negative exponent to a positive exponent, calculate the positive exponent then take the reciprocal.


5

Simplify \( \sqrt{27} \)

62% Answer Correctly
9\( \sqrt{3} \)
2\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{3} \)
3\( \sqrt{6} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

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