Example Questions

Example Question #952 : Linear Equations

What is the mathematical representation of the square root of the quantity of two x minus three?

Possible Answers:

$2x-\sqrt{3}$

$\sqrt{2}x-3$

$\sqrt{2x-3}$

$2\sqrt{x-3}$

$\sqrt{2}x-3$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{2x-3}$

Explanation:

When representing mathematical expressions with numbers and symbols, the phrasing is key.

"the quantity of" means to group the next description.

The quantity of two x minus three : 2x-3

"Square root of" means to draw the square root symbol around the next description or to give the description the exponent of $\frac{1}{2}$ .

$\sqrt{2x-3}=(2x-3)^{1/2}$

Example Question #953 : Linear Equations

Simplify the following expression.

$\frac{2x^{4}y^{-3}z^{-2}\cdot 5x^{-3}y^{6}z\cdot x^{5}z^{3}}{8x^{-2}y^{4}z\cdot y^{3}z^{2}}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{5}{x^{120}y^{-\frac{3}{2}}z^{12}}$

$\frac{5x^{4}}{4y^{4}z}$

$\frac{5x^{8}}{4y^{4}z}{}$

$\frac{5x^{30}y^{10}}{4z^{12}}$

$\frac{5(xyz)^{3}}4{}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{5x^{8}}{4y^{4}z}{}$

Explanation:

To simplify, cancel like terms and apply exponent rules.

Remember when like bases are being multiplied together you add their exponents. Likewise, if you are dividing like bases you subtract the exponent that is in the denominator from the exponent that is in the numerator.

$\frac{2x^{4}y^{-3}z^{-2}\cdot 5x^{-3}y^{6}z\cdot x^{5}z^{3}}{8x^{-2}y^{4}z\cdot y^{3}z^{2}}$

$\\=\frac{10x^{6}y^{3}z^{2}}{8x^{-2}y^{7}z^{3}}\\ \\=\frac{5x^{8}}{4y^{4}z}$

Example Question #42 : How To Write Expressions And Equations

Express. The sum of and is .

Possible Answers:

ab=7

a+b=7

$\frac{a}{b}=7$

a+b+7

a-b=7

Correct answer:

a+b=7

Explanation:

Take every word and translate into math.

Sum is addition.

Seeing the word is means equal something.

Example Question #42 : How To Write Expressions And Equations

Express raised to the tenth power.

Possible Answers:

10^x

$\frac{x}{10}$

$10\log x$

10x

$x^{10}$

Correct answer:

$x^{10}$

Explanation:

Take every word and translate into math.

When something is raised to a certain power, we use exponents.

In this case raised to the tenth power is $x^{10}$ .
