Q #1: Simplify the expression below. Which of the following is correct? \(18x^5yz\ \div\ \ 6xyz^4\)
A. \(3x^4z^3\)
B. \(3x^4yz^3\)
C. \(\frac{(3x)^4}{z^3}\)
D. \(\frac{(3x^4)}{z^3}\)
Answer Explanation
We use the properties of exponent with the same base to solve for above expression.
Multiplication of exponents with same base, we add the exponents
Division of exponents with same base, we subtract the exponents
Using these two properties, we can solve the expression:
Now we use the following properties:
y0 =1, and

Q #2: Which of the following is the value of x in the equation below? 4x- 3- 5x=24
A. -27
B. -6
C. 3
D. 21
Answer Explanation
to solve for x, we order like terms together and proceed as follows:
4x-3-5x=24
Add 3 to both sides of the equation
4x-3+3-5x=24+3
4x+3-3-5x=27
4x-5x=27
-x=27
Divide both sides by -1
-x/-1=27/-1
x= -27
Thus, the unknown value of x is -27

Q #3: Using the table below, which of the following statements describes the relationship between days and dollars?
A. There is a positive correlation between days and dollars
B. There is a negative correlation between days and dollars
C. There is an inverse correlation between days and dollars
D. There is no correlation between days and dollars
Answer Explanation
To answer this question, we need to observe the trend of the number of days with dollars. On day 2, the dollars were 8, after 5 days, the dollars decreased to 3, after 13 days, the dollars increased to 10. After 14 days, the dollars declined to 6 and again rose to 16 dollars after 19 days.
From this observation, we cannot be able to establish any correlation between days and dollars.
