Question 5: The average of 54, 61, 70, and 75 is
50 52 55 65
Answer:
65 Question 6: Solve for x: 5 - 3x ? 14 + 6x x ? -1 x ? -1 x > -1 x < -1
Answer:
x ? -1 As you solve this inequality, remember that when you multiply or divide an inequality by a negative
number, you need to reverse the direction of the inequality sign:
- - 3x ? 14 + 6x
- - 3x - 6x ? 14
-9x ? 14 - 5 -9x ? 9 x ? -1
Question 7: Triangle ABC is a(n)
Answer:
In an equilateral triangle, all sides are equal and all angles are equal.
Question 8: The following figure is what type of quadrilateral?
Answer:
Parallelogram Parallelograms have opposite sides of equal length.
Question 9: (x^3)2 =
x^5 x^6 x^9 2x^3
Answer:
x6 (x3)2 is the same as (x3)(x3). To multiply exponents with the same base, keep the base and add the
exponents: (x3)(x3) = x3+3 = x6.
Question 10: Solve: 5!25 125 120 15
Answer:
120 The factorial (!) of a number is the number multiplied by the next-smallest whole number, then by the
next smallest whole number, and so on down to 1:
5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120
Question 11: 5+x
Answer:
(3 × 2)(7 - 2)(6 +
2) = (6 × 4)x. What's the value of x?-5 5 10 1
Question 12: A cube has a volume of 64 cubic inches. What's the length of one side of the cube?
- inches
- inches
16 inches
32 inches
Answer:
- inches
Volume equals length × width × height (V = lwh). Finding the cube root of 64 shows that each edge measures 4 inches (4 × 4 × 4 = 64).
Question 13: 12
You start with (3 × 3)(5 - 3)(6 + 2) = x2. First solve the left side of the equation: (9)(2)(8) = 144. So x2 = 144. Find the square root
of each side: x = 12.
Answer:
In the equation 3x + 7y = 21, at what point is the x-axis intersected?
(7, 0)
(0, 7)
(0, 4)
(4, 0)
Question 14: A cube has a volume of 64 cubic inches. What's its surface area?
16 square inches 64 square inches 96 square inches 32 square inches
Answer:
96 square inches You calculate volume by multiplying length times width times height (V = lwh). Because the edges are equal on a cube, each edge is 4 inches (because 4 × 4 × 4 = 64). The area of one face of the cube is 4 × 4 = 16 square inches, and because a cube has 6 sides, you multiply 16 × 6 to find the surface area of the cube, 96 square inches.
Question 15: x(x2)
x^2 2x 2x^2 x^3
Answer:
x × x^2 = x(1 +
