In a class of 25 students, 8 are taking German and 15 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 4 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
12
18
6
23

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 8 + 15 = 23. Of that group of 23, 4 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 23 - 4 = 19 who are taking at least one language. 25 - 19 = 6 students who are not taking either language.

b1 = 1

b1 = b

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).

What is -3a4 x 4a2?

75% Answer Correctly
-12a4
-12a6
a8
a6

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:

-3a4 x 4a2
(-3 x 4)a(4 + 2)
-12a6
