Sample Practice Test Questions
What is (z5)4?
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(z5)4In electrical wiring, which of the following are proportional?
the diameter of the wire and the amount of the current
Current flow through a wire increases the temperature of the wire. If too small a wire is used, the wire will heat up causing a loss in conductivity and possibly a fire. The thicker in diameter a wire is, the more current it can carry without overheating.
What is \( \frac{-7a^5}{7a^4} \)?
To divide terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
\( \frac{-7a^5}{7a^4} \)
\( \frac{-7}{7} \) a(5 - 4)
-a
Which of the following is not a prime number?
9
A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
You need to secure a piece of wood while you're drilling a hole. Which of the following would be the most appropriate tool to use?
vise
A vise is a clamp that is anchored to a work station and designed to hold material in place while it is being operated upon.
You need to loosen a bolt in a hard to reach location. Which of the following wrenches would best suit this task?
box-end
Wrenches are used to provide grip and mechanical advantage by applying torque to turn objects (or to keep them from turning). The longer the wrench, the more torque that can be applied. Wrench ends are available in two primary types, open-end and box-end. A box-end wrench encloses the bolt head and is useful when more torque is needed or to maintain contact in difficult to reach locations. An open-end wrench is designed for speedily loosening easier to reach fasteners. Wrenches that feature one open and one box end are called combination wrenches and adjustable wrenches feature an open end with an adjustable width.
