Example Questions

Example Question #259 : Exponents

Write in exponential form:

$\sqrt[3]{\left ( x-1 \right )^{2}}$

Possible Answers:

$\left ( x-1 \right )^{\frac{2}{3}}$

$\left ( x-1 \right )^{\frac{3}{2}}$

$\left ( x-1 \right )^{3}$

$\left ( x-1 \right )$

$\left ( x-1 \right )^{2}$

Correct answer:

$\left ( x-1 \right )^{\frac{2}{3}}$

Explanation:

Using properties of radicals e.g., $\sqrt[m]{x^{n}} = x^{\frac{n}{m}}$

we get $\sqrt[3]{\left ( x-1 \right )^{2}} = \left ( x-1 \right )^{\frac{2}{3}}$

$x^{5-3}$

$x^{3}$

$x^{\frac{3}{5}}$

$x^{5}$

$x^{\frac{5}{3}}$

Correct answer:

$x^{\frac{5}{3}}$

Explanation:

Properties of Radicals

$\sqrt[]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$\sqrt[3]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$x^{\frac{5}{3}}$

Example Question #1232 : Psat Mathematics

Write in radical notation:

$\left ( x+3 \right )^{\frac{2}{3}}$

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt[3]{\left ( x+3 \right )^{2}}$

$x^{\frac{2}{3}} + 3^{\frac{2}{3}}$

$\sqrt[]{\left ( x+3 \right )}$

$\sqrt[3]{\left ( x+3 \right )}$

$\sqrt[]{\left ( x+3 \right )^{2}}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt[3]{\left ( x+3 \right )^{2}}$

Explanation:

Properties of Radicals

$\sqrt[]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$\sqrt[3]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{3}}$

Example Question #1233 : Psat Mathematics

Express in radical form : $x^{\frac{3}{5}}$

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt[3]{x^{5}}$

$\sqrt[3]{x}$

$x^{15}$

$\sqrt[5]{x^{3}}$

$x^{0.6}$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt[5]{x^{3}}$

Explanation:

Properties of Radicals

$\sqrt[]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$\sqrt[3]{x} = x^{\frac{1}{3}}$

$x^{\frac{3}{5}}=\sqrt[5]{x^{3}}$

Example Question #1234 : Psat Mathematics

Simplify: $\sqrt[3]{2}\star \sqrt[3]{32}$

Possible Answers:

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{32}{2}} = \sqrt[3]{16} = 2.52$

$\sqrt[3]{\frac{2}{32}} = \sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{16}} = \frac{1}{2.52}$

$\sqrt[3]{2}\star \sqrt[3]{32} = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4$

$1.26\star 3.17$

$8\star 96 = 768$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt[3]{2}\star \sqrt[3]{32} = \sqrt[3]{64} = 4$

Explanation:

$\sqrt[3]{2}\star \sqrt[3]{32}= \sqrt[3]{64}= 4$

Example Question #2451 : Sat Mathematics

Simplify:

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{x^{5}y^{-2}}}{\sqrt[3]{x^{-1}y^{4}}}$

Possible Answers:

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{x^{5}}}{\sqrt[3]{y^{4}}}$

$\frac{x^{15}y^{-6}}{x^{-3}y^{12}}$

$\frac{x^{2}}{y^{2}}$

$\frac{x\sqrt[3]{x^{2}}}{y\sqrt[3]{y}}$

$\frac{\sqrt[3]{y^{-2}}}{\sqrt[3]{x^{-1}}}$

Correct answer:

$\frac{x^{2}}{y^{2}}$

Explanation:

Convert the given expression into a single radical e.g. $\sqrt[3]{\frac{x^{5}y^{-2}}{x^{-1}y^{4}}}$ the expression inside the radical is:

$\frac{x^{6}}{y^{6}}$

and the cube root of this is :

$\frac{x^{2}}{y^{2}}$

Example Question #2452 : Sat Mathematics

Solve for .

$\log _{\frac{1}{5}}\left ( \frac{1}{25} \right )=x$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

$\frac{1}{25}= \left ( \frac{1}{5} \right )^{x}$

Hence must be equal to 2.

Example Question #2453 : Sat Mathematics

Simplify:

$log\left (\frac{x}{y^{2}} \right )$

Possible Answers:

$logx-logy^{2}$

$logx+logy^{2}$

logx-2logy

2logy-logx

$\left ( logx \right )\left ( logy^{2} \right )$

Correct answer:

logx-2logy

Explanation:

$log\left ( \frac{x}{y^{2}} \right )=logx-logy^{2}$

Now $logy^{2} = 2logy$

Hence the correct answer is logx - 2logy

Example Question #2454 : Sat Mathematics

Solve for .

$\ln x=\ln (x-1)-\ln (x+3)$

Possible Answers:

$no\ solution$

Correct answer:

Explanation:

If we combine into a single logarithmic function we get:

$\ln x=\ln \frac{x-1}{x+3}$

$x = \frac{x-1}{x+3}$

Solving for we get x=-1 .

Example Question #2455 : Sat Mathematics

If is the complex number such that i^2=-1 , evaluate the following expression:

$i^{25}-i^{23}+i^{21}-i^{19}+i^{17}-i^{15}.\ .\ .+i$

Possible Answers:

13i

-25i

12i

Correct answer:

13i

Explanation:

The powers of i form a sequence that repeats every four terms.

i¹= i

i² = -1

i³ = -i

i⁴ = 1

i⁵ = i

Thus:

i²⁵ = i

i²³ = -i

i²¹ = i

i¹⁹= -i

Now we can evalulate the expression.

i²⁵ - i²³+ i²¹- i¹⁹ + i¹⁷..... + i

= i + (-1)(-i) + i + (-1)(i) ..... + i

= i + i + i + i + ..... + i

Each term reduces to +i. Since there are 13 terms in the expression, the final result is 13i.
