Which is a square number?

CORRECT

0

0

0

0

Explanation

Square numbers have one factor. If that factor is multiplied by itself, then the number becomes a perfect square. The only number in the selection that meets this requirement is . We can multiply twice to get the perfect square .

2

Which of the following is an odd number?

I.

II.

III.

IV.

V.

II, III, V

CORRECT

I, III, IV

0

II, V

0

I, III, V

0

II, III, IV

0

Explanation

Odd numbers are integers that have a ones digit that ends in , , , , or . Choices II, III, V are odd numbers because they have a ones digit of , , and respectively.

3

Which of the following is an integer?

CORRECT

0

0

0

0

Explanation

The correct answer will yield a whole number as a simplified answer. Integers cannot contain decimals quantities.

The only answer that will yield a whole number term is since simplifying this root will yield .

The correct answer is:

4

What kind of number is ?

I. rational

II. irrational

III. integer

IV. imaginary

V. composite

I, III, V

CORRECT

II, IV

0

II only

0

III and V only

0

I and III only

0

Explanation

Even though it's a radical, we can simplify.

Check the answer.

The answer is .

is an integer and a composite number with factors of . Furthermore, it can be expressed a rational number .

Thus, the final answer is I, III, V.

5

What number is found in the set of whole numbers but not in the set of natural numbers?

CORRECT

0

0

0

0

Explanation

Whole numbers start from and include all positive integers. On the other hand, natural numbers are all positive integers that we can count starting from . The only difference is that is found in whole numbers but not in the natural numbers series. Thus, is the correct answer.

6

Which is a prime number?

CORRECT

0

0

0

0

Explanation

A prime number is a number that havs factors of one and itself. Let's eliminate some choices.

A number divisible by will have a ones digit of or . So we eliminate .

Even numbers are having ones digit end in . So we eliminate

For the remaining , let's try the divisibility rule of . The sum of the digits add up to a multiply of is diisible by .

This is good.

This is divisible by .

This fails as this is our answer.

7

What is a rational number?

Two integers that can be expressed in a fraction as long as the denominator is not zero.

CORRECT

Any kind of fraction

0

All real numbers

0

Only positive and negative integers.

0

Imaginary numbers

0

Explanation

For a number to be rational, the numerator and denominator have to be integers. The exception is the denominator must not equal zero. It can be negative, positive, or zero.

8

Which of these numbers is not a rational number?

CORRECT

0

0

0

0

Explanation

A number is rational if it is possible to express it as a fraction with integers as the numerator and denominator. 25 and -1 are integers, and could be written as fractions: . is already expressed as a fraction. At first glance,

looks like an irrational number becasue it repeats forever. This is different from an irrational number because an irrational number will go on forever but without a repeating pattern. could actually be expressed as the fraction . This leaves us with the correct answer of which goes on forever \[is non-terminating\] but without any clear pattern or repeating part.

9

Which of the following is NOT an integer?

CORRECT

0

0

0

0

Explanation

An integer is a number that has no decimals or fractions. They must be whole numbers whether positive, negative or zero. is an irrational number which means it doesn't have a definite value. All the other choices have definite value.

10

Is an integer, decimal, or a fraction?

Fraction

CORRECT

Integer

0

Decimal

0

None

0

Explanation

A fraction is a number with a numerator and denominator that can not be simplified into an integer so the number is a fraction.
