Example Question #82 : Integer Operations

Solve 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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 .

Simplify the following:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

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.

Example Question #1851 : Algebra Ii

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

Possible Answers:

6.5

52

104

26

13

Correct answer:

52

Explanation:

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:
