What is 5\( \sqrt{6} \) x 6\( \sqrt{9} \)?

41% Answer Correctly
30\( \sqrt{9} \)
11\( \sqrt{54} \)
90\( \sqrt{6} \)
30\( \sqrt{15} \)

Solution

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

5\( \sqrt{6} \) x 6\( \sqrt{9} \)
(5 x 6)\( \sqrt{6 \times 9} \)
30\( \sqrt{54} \)

Now we need to simplify the radical:

30\( \sqrt{54} \)
30\( \sqrt{6 \times 9} \)
30\( \sqrt{6 \times 3^2} \)
(30)(3)\( \sqrt{6} \)
90\( \sqrt{6} \)


2

Which of the following statements about exponents is false?

47% Answer Correctly

all of these are false

b1 = 1

b1 = b

b0 = 1


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).


3

The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.

67% Answer Correctly

greatest common multiple

least common multiple

greatest common factor


Solution

The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.


4

A menswear store is having a sale: "Buy one shirt at full price and get another shirt for 45% off." If Alex buys two shirts, each with a regular price of $38, how much money will he save?

70% Answer Correctly
$17.10
$13.30
$1.90
$5.70

Solution

By buying two shirts, Alex will save $38 x \( \frac{45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$38 x 45}{100} \) = \( \frac{$1710}{100} \) = $17.10 on the second shirt.


5

If a car travels 180 miles in 3 hours, what is the average speed?

86% Answer Correctly
55 mph
30 mph
60 mph
70 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 = \( \frac{180mi}{3h} \)
60 mph
