  3. Check the result: Review the sign, units, operation, and estimate to make sure the answer is reasonable.

Because 49 is less than 50 and 64 is greater than 50, the square root lies between 7 and 8.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

Which is the correct scientific notation for 420,000?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is 4.2×1054.2 × 10^5.

  1. Identify the math idea: Decide whether the question uses linear relationships, numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, statistics, probability, or problem solving.
  2. Show the reasoning: Move the decimal five places left to get 4.2, so the number is 4.2 × 10 to the fifth power.
  3. Check the result: Review the sign, units, operation, and estimate to make sure the answer is reasonable.

Move the decimal five places left to get 4.2, so the number is 4.2 × 10 to the fifth power.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

Which is the correct scientific notation for 0.00036?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is 3.6×10−43.6 × 10^{−4}.

  1. Identify the math idea: Decide whether the question uses linear relationships, numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, statistics, probability, or problem solving.
  2. Show the reasoning: Move the decimal four places right to get 3.6, so the exponent is −4.
  3. Check the result: Review the sign, units, operation, and estimate to make sure the answer is reasonable.

Move the decimal four places right to get 3.6, so the exponent is −4.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

What is 2−32^{−3}?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is 18\frac{1}{8}.

  1. Identify the math idea: Decide whether the question uses linear relationships, numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, statistics, probability, or problem solving.
  2. Show the reasoning: A negative exponent means take the reciprocal: 2 to the negative third power is 1 over 2 cubed, or 1/8.
  3. Check the result: Review the sign, units, operation, and estimate to make sure the answer is reasonable.

A negative exponent means take the reciprocal: 2 to the negative third power is 1 over 2 cubed, or 1/8.

6. QuestionMultiple choice

Which number is irrational?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is sqrt2sqrt{2}.

  1. Identify the math idea: Decide whether the question uses linear relationships, numbers, expressions, equations, geometry, statistics, probability, or problem solving.
