Example Question #122 : Numbers And Operations

Two quantities are given - one in Column A and the other in Column B. Compare the quantities in the two columns.

Assume, in both columns, that $x\neq0$ $\displaystyle x\neq0$.

Column A Column B

$\displaystyle 2x^2+6x^2$ $\displaystyle 11x^2-x^2$

Possible Answers:

The quantity in Column B is greater.

The relationship cannot be determined from the info given.

The quantities in both columns are equal.

The quantity in Column A is greater.

Correct answer:

The quantity in Column B is greater.

Explanation:

When you are adding and subtracting terms with exponents, you combine like terms. Since both columns have expressions with the same exponent throughout, you are good to just look at the coefficients. Remember, a coefficient is the number in front of a variable. Therefore, Column A is 8x^2 $\displaystyle 8x^2$ since 2+6=8 $\displaystyle 2+6=8$. Column B is 10x^2 $\displaystyle 10x^2$ since 11-1=10 $\displaystyle 11-1=10$. We can see that Column B is greater.

Example Question #21 : Exponential Operations

Add all of the perfect squares between 50 and 100 inclusive.

Possible Answers:

The correct answer is not among the other choices.

245 $\displaystyle 245$

194 $\displaystyle 194$

145 $\displaystyle 145$

294 $\displaystyle 294$

Correct answer:

245 $\displaystyle 245$

Explanation:

The perfect squares between 50 and 100 inclusive are

$8^{2} = 64$ $\displaystyle 8^{2} = 64$

$9^{2} = 81$ $\displaystyle 9^{2} = 81$

$10 ^{2} = 100$ $\displaystyle 10 ^{2} = 100$

Their sum is $\displaystyle 64 + 81 + 100 = 245$

Example Question #22 : Exponential Operations

Which is the greater quantity?

(A) The sum of the first ten perfect square integers

(B) The sum of the first five perfect cube integers

Possible Answers:

It is impossible to determine which is greater from the information given

(B) is greater

(A) is greater

(A) and (B) are equal

Correct answer:

(A) is greater

Explanation:

The sum of the first ten perfect square integers:

$\begin{matrix} \;\; \; 1\\ \;\; \; 4\\ \;\; \; 9\\ \;16\\ \;25\\ \;36\\ \;49\\ \;64\\ \;81\\ \underline{100}\\ 385 \end{matrix}$ $\displaystyle \begin{matrix} \;\; \; 1\\ \;\; \; 4\\ \;\; \; 9\\ \;16\\ \;25\\ \;36\\ \;49\\ \;64\\ \;81\\ \underline{100}\\ 385 \end{matrix}$

The sum of the first five perfect cube integers:

$\begin{matrix} \;\; \; 1\\ \;\; \; 8\\ \;27\\ \;64\\ \underline{125}\\ 225 \end{matrix}$ $\displaystyle \begin{matrix} \;\; \; 1\\ \;\; \; 8\\ \;27\\ \;64\\ \underline{125}\\ 225 \end{matrix}$

(A) is greater.
