  • 2. 

    Memorizing perfect squares is not that important when it comes to simplifying square roots

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Memorizing perfect squares is important when it comes to simplifying square roots. Knowing the perfect squares allows us to recognize when a number under the square root sign can be simplified to a whole number. This simplification makes calculations easier and quicker. Therefore, the statement "Memorizing perfect squares is not that important when it comes to simplifying square roots" is false.

    In /25, "/" is also known as the radical

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in mathematics, the symbol "/" is commonly referred to as the radical. The radical symbol is used to denote the square root or other roots of a number. It is a mathematical notation that represents the operation of taking the root of a number.

    Which of the following are methods to simplify a square root?

    • Multiply integers together if there are more than one

    • Rewrite the square root as a multiplication problem

    • Divide by the smallest number possible

    • All of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. All of the above
    Explanation
    All of the methods mentioned in the options can be used to simplify a square root. Multiplying integers together helps in simplifying the expression by combining like terms. Rewriting the square root as a multiplication problem allows for simplification by factoring out perfect squares. Dividing by the smallest number possible is another method to simplify the square root. Therefore, all of the above methods can be used to simplify a square root.

    In 7/2, "7" is also known as the coefficient

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In the given question, the statement "In 7/2, '7' is also known as the coefficient" is true. In a fraction, the coefficient refers to the number that is being divided by another number. In this case, the fraction 7/2 can be written as 7 divided by 2, where 7 is the coefficient.

    Simplify 8/12

    • /(4x3)

    • 2/3

    • /12

    • Not sure

    Correct Answer
    A. 2/3
    Explanation
    8 ÷ 4 / 12 ÷ 4 = 2/3
    So, the simplified form of 8/12 is 2/3.

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

    What is the basic thing to follow in order to simplify a square root?

    • Make the number inside the square root as small as possible

    • Make the number outside the square root to the least possible value

    • Make both the numbers inside and outside the square root as minimum as possible

    • Not sure

    Correct Answer
    A. Make the number inside the square root as small as possible
    Explanation
    To simplify a square root, the basic thing to follow is to make the number inside the square root as small as possible. This involves finding the factors of the number and simplifying it by removing perfect square factors. By reducing the number inside the square root, the expression becomes simpler and easier to work with.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    Simplify /9 where / indicates square root

    • /3x3

    • 3

    • 3/3

    • /9

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. /3x3
    A. 3
    Explanation
    The given question asks to simplify the expression "/9" where the symbol "/" indicates the square root. The expression "/3x3" means the square root of 3 multiplied by 3. Simplifying this gives us 3. The next step is to divide 3 by 3, which equals 1. Finally, taking the square root of 9 gives us 3. So, the answer is "/3x3,3" which means the square root of 3 multiplied by 3, divided by 3, and then the square root of 9, resulting in 3.
