Example Question #62 : Operations

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

First distribute the  to all terms in the parenthesis.

  (When multiplying variables with exponents, the exponents are added together).

Example Question #66 : Variables

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To solve 

Separate the parts of the terms.  Multiply the coefficients:

Multiply the terms with  as the variable. When multiplying, the exponents get added.

Multiply the terms with  as the variable. When multiplying, the exponents get added.

Put it all together:

 

 

 

Example Question #67 : Variables

The length of a rectangle is  and the width is  What is the area of this rectangle?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The formula for the Area of a rectangle is length times width or l x w.  Multiply the length which is  times the width which is 

First multiply

Then multiply the variables; add the exponents:

Area or A of the rectangle is

Example Question #68 : Variables

The length of a rectangular prism is  centimeters.  The width is  centimeters. The height is  centimeters. Find the volume of this rectangular prism.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is determined by using the formula

V = length x width x height

Example Question #2181 : Isee Middle Level (Grades 7 8) Mathematics Achievement

Multiply the following:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

When multiplying variables, we multiply them together just like we would integers.  We have

 

The first term isn't showing a coefficient, so it is automatically 1.  So,

 

Now, we will multiply the coefficients together, then we multiply the variables together.

So, we get

Example Question #70 : Variables

Simplify the following expression:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Simplify the following expression:

Let's begin by rewriting the expression with similar terms next to each other.

Next, multiply the terms out.

Our first pair of terms is just like regular multiplication.

For the next two terms, we need to add the exponents. 

In doing so, we get:

Example Question #71 : Variables

Simplify the following statement

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Simplify the following statement

To multiply these terms, first multiply the 2 and the 14

Next, we can combine the b's and the t's by adding together their exponents.

So our answer is:

Example Question #71 : Variables

Combine the following terms:

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Combine the following terms:

Let's begin by multiplying the coefficients (numbers out in front)

So our answer must have 360 in front.

Next, let's multiply our q's. To do so, we need to add up our exponents.

So, put it together to get:

Example Question #72 : Variables

. Evaluate .

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

, so either  or .

If the former is true, 

.

If the latter is true, then, since an even-numbered power of any number is positive, 

.

Example Question #73 : Variables

Simplify the following expression

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Simplify the following expression

Let's begin by grouping our x's and our coefficients

We can combine our coefficents by multiplying them, and we can combine the x's by adding the exponents

So, our answer is:
