Card 0 of 20

Question

Evaluate 5x + 3y when x = 7 and y = 9.

Answer

Plug in 7 for x and 5 for y, giving you 5(7) + 3(9). This is equal to 35 + 27, which equals 62.

5x + 3y

5(7) + 3(9)

35 + 27 = 62

Question

A plane flies at a rate of 210mi/h. If the plane has flown for five hours, how many miles has it traveled?

Answer

Multiply the rate of travel (210 mi/hr) by the time traveled (5 hours), and you get the total distance, 1050 miles.

distance = rate * time

distance = (210mi/hr)(5hr)

distance = 1050mi

Question

Find the volume of a cube that is five feet on each side.

Answer

To find the volume of a cube, you cube the side length, raising it to the thrid power. 5 cubed is 125.

(5ft)3 = 5ft*5ft*5ft = 125ft3

Question

The quantity x varies directly with y. If x is 26 when y is 100, find x when y is 200.

Answer

We must set up a proportion. Since x varies directly with y, when y is multiplied by 2, x is also multiplied by 2. 26 times 2 is 52.

Direct variation:

Question

What is the square root of 81?

Answer

9 * 9 = 81, and thus 9 is the square root of 81. It is true that (–9) * (–9) = 81, but it is a convention that "the square root" refers to the positive value. Had the question asked for "a square root" or "the square roots" of 81, –9 would be acceptable.

Question

What is (–16) * (–2)?

Answer

When multiplying two negative numbers, the negatives cancel each other out, leaving a positive solution, thus, we can think of (–16)(–2) as (16)(2), which is 32.

(–16) * (–2)

(–1)(16) * (–1)(2)

(–1)(–1) * (16)(2)

(1) * (16)(2)

16 * 2

32

Question

If is an integer, which of the following must be odd?

Answer

While all of the answers could result in an odd answer, only guarantees an odd answer. Since any integer multiplied by 2 is even, adding 1 will always give the next consecutive odd integer.

Question

What is ?

Answer

Multiply the absolute values to get the magnitude of the answer.

Remember the following rules:

Positive * negative = negative

Positive * positive = positive

Negative * negative = positive

Since we are dealing with a positive and a negative, our answer will be negative.

Question

Simplify the following:

Answer

In this problem, you need to use the proper order of operations to find the correct answer: PEMDAS (Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication-Division, Addition-Subtraction).

Exponents show up first in this problem, so the first step is to simplify:

This results in:

The next step is the multiplication:

This results in:

The next step is to do the remaining addition and subtraction from left to right.

499 is your final answer.

Question

Solve

Answer

First, distribute the exponents to the numerators and denominators:

.

Then, rewrite the problem in expanded form:

Next, rewrite the problem so that you only have prime factors in both numerators and denominators:

.

Last, simplify by "canceling out" like terms, leaving you with

and multiply across both numerators and denominators, which will give you .
