1

What is y3 - 2y3?

71% Answer Correctly
y3
3y9
-y3
y-3

Solution

To add or subtract terms with exponents, both the base and the exponent must be the same. In this case they are so subtract the coefficients and retain the base and exponent:

1y3 - 2y3
(1 - 2)y3
-y3


2

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

78% Answer Correctly

mixed number

fraction

integer

improper 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

What is \( \frac{4\sqrt{18}}{2\sqrt{6}} \)?

71% Answer Correctly
3 \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{3}\) \( \sqrt{2} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\) \( \sqrt{\frac{1}{3}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)

Solution

To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:

\( \frac{4\sqrt{18}}{2\sqrt{6}} \)
\( \frac{4}{2} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{18}{6}} \)
2 \( \sqrt{3} \)


4

Convert z-3 to remove the negative exponent.

68% Answer Correctly
\( \frac{1}{z^3} \)
\( \frac{-3}{-z} \)
\( \frac{3}{z} \)
\( \frac{1}{z^{-3}} \)

Solution

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


5

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{9}{36}} \)?

70% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
2\(\frac{1}{2}\)
4\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Solution

To take the square root of a fraction, break the fraction into two separate roots then calculate the square root of the numerator and denominator separately:

\( \sqrt{\frac{9}{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{36}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{3^2}}{\sqrt{6^2}} \)
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
