Trivia: Exponents, Scientific Notation, Cube Roots! Math Quiz - Quiz


How much do you know about exponents, scientific notation, and cube roots? Exponents are numbers that you repeatedly multiply by the number in the exponent. Scientific notation is... see morea way of expressing too large or too small numbers to be written in decimal form. A cube root is a value which when multiplied by itself three times, produces the original value. You absolutely must take this impeccable quiz. see less

2. If the answer is 5 what is the cube root ? 

Explanation

The cube root of 125 is 5 because when you multiply 5 by itself three times (5 x 5 x 5), you get 125. The cube root is the number that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. Therefore, 5 is the cube root of 125.

5. Which choice represents the simplified exponential expression? (52)8

Explanation

The correct answer is 5^16 because it represents the simplified exponential expression. The base, which is 5, is raised to the power of 16, resulting in a single term with no other operations or simplifications possible.

Submit
6. Which choice represents the simplified exponential expression? (97)4

Explanation

The correct answer is 9^28. This is the simplified exponential expression because it represents the base number 9 raised to the power of 28.

Submit
7. Which choice represents the simplified exponential expression? (75)8

Explanation

The correct answer is 7^40 because it represents the simplified exponential expression. The expression 7^40 means multiplying 7 by itself 40 times, resulting in a very large number.

Submit
8. The cube root of 216 is 6. true or false?

Explanation

The cube root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself three times, gives the original number. In this case, if we multiply 6 by itself three times (6 x 6 x 6), we get 216. Therefore, the statement that the cube root of 216 is 6 is true.

Submit
9. If the volume of a cube is 64 inches. What is the length of edges?

Explanation

The volume of a cube is calculated by multiplying the length of its edges three times. In this case, the volume is given as 64 inches, so we need to find the length of the edges. By taking the cube root of 64, we get 4. Therefore, the length of the edges of the cube is 4 inches.

12. Write the number is scientific notation 1,420,000

Explanation

The number 1,420,000 can be expressed in scientific notation as 1.42 x 10^6. In scientific notation, the number is written as a decimal between 1 and 10 (in this case, 1.42) multiplied by a power of 10 (in this case, 10^6). This notation is used to represent very large or very small numbers in a more concise and standardized format.

Submit
13. Which choice represents the expression below as a single exponential expression? 99 *  97

Explanation

The expression 99 * 97 can be written as 9^2 * 9^16. When multiplying two numbers with the same base, the exponents can be added together. Therefore, 9^2 * 9^16 simplifies to 9^18. However, none of the answer choices represent 9^18. The closest answer choice is 9^16, which is the correct answer.

Submit
14. If the volume of a cube is 512 feet. What is the length of its edges?

Explanation

The volume of a cube is calculated by multiplying the length of one of its edges by itself three times. In this case, the volume is given as 512 feet. To find the length of the edges, we need to find the cube root of the volume. The cube root of 512 is 8, so the length of each edge of the cube is 8 feet.

Submit
15. Which choice represents the expression below as a single exponential expression? 211 * 25

Explanation

The given expression can be represented as a single exponential expression by adding the exponents of the same base. In this case, the base is 2 and the exponents are 16 and 16. When we add these exponents, we get 32. Therefore, the expression 2^16 * 2^16 can be simplified to 2^32.

17. Which choice represents the simplified exponential expression? (15 -6)9

Explanation

The given expression can be simplified by multiplying the terms inside the parentheses, which results in (9)9. This further simplifies to 81. However, none of the answer choices represent this simplified exponential expression, so the correct answer is not available.

Submit
18. Which choice represents the simplified exponential expression? ((-11)-3)7

Explanation

The correct answer is (-11)^ -21. This is the simplified exponential expression because it represents raising -11 to the power of -21. The negative exponent indicates that the base (-11) should be inverted, and the positive exponent indicates how many times it should be multiplied. Therefore, (-11)^ -21 represents dividing 1 by (-11) 21 times.

Submit
19. Write the number is standard form 5.34 x 10 ^ -4

Explanation

The given number, 5.34 x 10^-4, is written in scientific notation. In standard form, we move the decimal point 4 places to the left because the exponent is negative. Therefore, the correct answer is 0.000534.

Submit
20. Which choice represents the expression below as a single exponential expression? 65 * 63

Explanation

The expression 65 * 63 can be represented as 6^8 since both numbers can be expressed as powers of 6.

Submit
22. 3.2501 x 10 ^ 7

Explanation

The correct answer is 32,501,000 because it is the only option that matches the given number, 3.2501 x 10^7, when written in standard form. The other options either have additional decimal places or do not have the correct number of digits.

Submit
23. The E coli bacterium is about 5 x 10^-7 meters wide. A hair is about 1.7 x 10^-5 meters wide. Whick is wider, the bacterium or the hair?

Explanation

The hair is wider than the E. coli bacterium. The given measurements indicate that the hair is approximately 34 times wider than the bacterium.

25. Write the number is scientific notation 0.00098

Explanation

The given number, 0.00098, can be written in scientific notation as 9.8 x 10^-4. This is because when we move the decimal point 4 places to the right, we get 9.8. The negative exponent of -4 indicates that the decimal point has been moved to the left, making the number smaller.

Submit
26. Which list has the numbers in order from least to greatest?

Explanation

The correct answer is 5.4 × 10^3, 4.5 × 10^4, 5.4 × 10^4. The numbers are arranged in order from least to greatest by comparing the coefficients (5.4 and 4.5) first. Since 4.5 is smaller than 5.4, it comes before 5.4 in the list. Then, we compare the exponents (10^3 and 10^4). 10^3 is smaller than 10^4, so it comes before 10^4 in the list. Therefore, the correct order is 5.4 × 10^3, 4.5 × 10^4, 5.4 × 10^4.
