Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

b1 = 1

b1 = b

b0 = 1

all of these are false


Solution

A number with an exponent (be) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b1 = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b0 = 1).

Solve 2 + (2 + 5) ÷ 2 x 4 - 22

52% Answer Correctly
3
\(\frac{1}{2}\)
\(\frac{3}{4}\)
12

Solution

Use PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multipy/Divide, Add/Subtract):

2 + (2 + 5) ÷ 2 x 4 - 22
P: 2 + (7) ÷ 2 x 4 - 22
E: 2 + 7 ÷ 2 x 4 - 4
MD: 2 + \( \frac{7}{2} \) x 4 - 4
MD: 2 + \( \frac{28}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{4}{2} \) + \( \frac{28}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{32}{2} \) - 4
AS: \( \frac{32 - 8}{2} \)
\( \frac{24}{2} \)

If there were a total of 450 raffle tickets sold and you bought 36 tickets, what's the probability that you'll win the raffle?

60% Answer Correctly
8%
11%
5%
13%

Solution

You have 36 out of the total of 450 raffle tickets sold so you have a (\( \frac{36}{450} \)) x 100 = \( \frac{36 \times 100}{450} \) = \( \frac{3600}{450} \) = 8% chance to win the raffle.
