What is \( 7 \)\( \sqrt{28} \) + \( 6 \)\( \sqrt{7} \)

35% Answer Correctly
42\( \sqrt{196} \)
20\( \sqrt{7} \)
13\( \sqrt{4} \)
42\( \sqrt{7} \)

Solution

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

7\( \sqrt{28} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{4 \times 7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
7\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
(7)(2)\( \sqrt{7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
14\( \sqrt{7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

14\( \sqrt{7} \) + 6\( \sqrt{7} \)
(14 + 6)\( \sqrt{7} \)
20\( \sqrt{7} \)


2

What is \( \frac{4}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \)?

72% Answer Correctly
\(\frac{8}{45}\)
\(\frac{4}{15}\)
\(\frac{1}{5}\)
1\(\frac{3}{5}\)

Solution

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{4}{5} \) x \( \frac{2}{8} \) = \( \frac{4 x 2}{5 x 8} \) = \( \frac{8}{40} \) = \(\frac{1}{5}\)


3

Simplify \( \sqrt{20} \)

62% Answer Correctly
6\( \sqrt{10} \)
4\( \sqrt{10} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)
9\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{20} \)
\( \sqrt{4 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{2^2 \times 5} \)
2\( \sqrt{5} \)


4

What is 7a4 x 6a2?

75% Answer Correctly
42a2
13a2
42a6
42a4

Solution

To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:

7a4 x 6a2
(7 x 6)a(4 + 2)
42a6


5

If a car travels 55 miles in 1 hour, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
15 mph
50 mph
25 mph
55 mph

Solution

Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:

speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)
speed = \( \frac{55mi}{1h} \)
55 mph
