1

Simplify \( \sqrt{45} \)

63% Answer Correctly
5\( \sqrt{5} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)
4\( \sqrt{10} \)
9\( \sqrt{10} \)

Solution

To simplify a radical, factor out the perfect squares:

\( \sqrt{45} \)
\( \sqrt{9 \times 5} \)
\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 5} \)
3\( \sqrt{5} \)


2

What is -3y4 x 6y4?

75% Answer Correctly
3y16
-18y8
-18y0
-18y16

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:

-3y4 x 6y4
(-3 x 6)y(4 + 4)
-18y8


3

What is (c5)2?

80% Answer Correctly
5c2
c-3
2c5
c10

Solution

To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:

(c5)2
c(5 * 2)
c10


4

A circular logo is enlarged to fit the lid of a jar. The new diameter is 40% larger than the original. By what percentage has the area of the logo increased?

51% Answer Correctly
20%
32\(\frac{1}{2}\)%
30%
17\(\frac{1}{2}\)%

Solution

The area of a circle is given by the formula A = πr2 where r is the radius of the circle. The radius of a circle is its diameter divided by two so A = π(\( \frac{d}{2} \))2. If the diameter of the logo increases by 40% the radius (and, consequently, the total area) increases by \( \frac{40\text{%}}{2} \) = 20%


5

What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, __________ ?

92% Answer Correctly
8
13
16
17

Solution

The equation for this sequence is:

an = an-1 + 3

where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:

a6 = a5 + 3
a6 = 13 + 3
a6 = 16
