Which of the following is not an integer?
\({1 \over 2}\) |
|
1 |
|
0 |
|
-1 |
An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.
What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) + \( \frac{8}{14} \)?
| 2 \( \frac{2}{8} \) | |
| 2 \( \frac{8}{15} \) | |
| 1\(\frac{5}{21}\) | |
| \( \frac{8}{16} \) |
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 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{4 x 7}{6 x 7} \) + \( \frac{8 x 3}{14 x 3} \)
\( \frac{28}{42} \) + \( \frac{24}{42} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{28 + 24}{42} \) = \( \frac{52}{42} \) = 1\(\frac{5}{21}\)
If \( \left|c - 1\right| \) + 3 = -8, which of these is a possible value for c?
| 5 | |
| -6 | |
| 20 | |
| 12 |
First, solve for \( \left|c - 1\right| \):
\( \left|c - 1\right| \) + 3 = -8
\( \left|c - 1\right| \) = -8 - 3
\( \left|c - 1\right| \) = -11
The value inside the absolute value brackets can be either positive or negative so (c - 1) must equal - 11 or --11 for \( \left|c - 1\right| \) to equal -11:
| c - 1 = -11 c = -11 + 1 c = -10 | c - 1 = 11 c = 11 + 1 c = 12 |
So, c = 12 or c = -10.
Solve for \( \frac{5!}{6!} \)
| 1680 | |
| \( \frac{1}{8} \) | |
| 6 | |
| \( \frac{1}{6} \) |
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:
\( \frac{5!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
\( \frac{1}{6} \)
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, __________ ?
| 29 | |
| 26 | |
| 33 | |
| 25 |
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 5
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 + 5
a6 = 21 + 5
a6 = 26
