What is -4x3 - x3?

71% Answer Correctly
-5x3
-3x6
-3x-6
-5x-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:

-4x3 - 1x3
(-4 - 1)x3
-5x3


2

Solve for \( \frac{4!}{6!} \)

67% Answer Correctly

7
\( \frac{1}{30} \)
\( \frac{1}{336} \)

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:

\( \frac{4!}{6!} \)
\( \frac{4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1}{6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3 \times 2 \times 1} \)
\( \frac{1}{6 \times 5} \)
\( \frac{1}{30} \)


3

What is \( \sqrt{\frac{16}{9}} \)?

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

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:

\( \sqrt{\frac{16}{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{9}} \)
\( \frac{\sqrt{4^2}}{\sqrt{3^2}} \)
\( \frac{4}{3} \)
1\(\frac{1}{3}\)

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 10, 19, 28, 37, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
53
48
54
46

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 9

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 + 9
a6 = 37 + 9
a6 = 46


5

How many 14-passenger vans will it take to drive all 65 members of the football team to an away game?

81% Answer Correctly
15 vans
4 vans
5 vans
8 vans

Solution

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{65}{14} \) = 4\(\frac{9}{14}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.
