Which of the following is not an integer?
\({1 \over 2}\)
An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.
The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?
a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions
Levels utlize a fluid-filled tube containing a bubble that is centered when the surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb) along the direction of the tube. While a standard level can measure along a single dimension, a bullseye level is circular and can indicate the levelness of a two dimensional plane.
Which of these is not a phase in cell division?
megaphase
Cell division is the process by which cells replicate genetic material in the nucleus and consists of several phases, beginning with interphase and ending with cytokinesis.
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
O-negative
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
What type of energy does an automotive battery produce?
direct current
An automotive battery produces direct current for use by automotive systems.
What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) + \( \frac{4}{14} \)?
To add these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 6 are [6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60] and the first few multiples of 14 are [14, 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 98]. The first few multiples they share are [42, 84] making 42 the smallest multiple 6 and 14 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{4 x 7}{6 x 7} \) + \( \frac{4 x 3}{14 x 3} \)
\( \frac{28}{42} \) + \( \frac{12}{42} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can add them:
\( \frac{28 + 12}{42} \) = \( \frac{40}{42} \) = \(\frac{20}{21}\)
Which of the following is a characteristic of batteries connected in parallel?
total current equals the sum of the individual battery currents
You can multiply the voltage or the current supplied by individual batteries by connecting them together either in series or in parallel. The characteristics of batteries connected in parallel are that total voltage equals the average of the individual battery voltages, total current equals the sum of the individual battery currents, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the positive terminal of the next, the negative terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, and two connections are made between each adjacent battery.
The __________ is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
greatest common factor
The greatest common factor (GCF) is the greatest factor that divides two integers.
