What the test measures

Expressions and Equations skills

  4. Use equations to understand and solve linear problems

Standards basis

Arkansas Academic Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M–aligned / Arkansas-adopted math standards) — Arkansas

How the ATLAS reports it

Arkansas’s statewide assessment system is ATLAS, which the ADE page says began serving in spring 2024. The official public page does not publish a math blueprint there, so the most defensible coverage map is the Arkansas math standards structure that ATLAS is aligned to.

Blueprint & weighting

ATLAS uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

Solve for the positive value of xx: x2=121x^2 = 121.

x=121=11x = \sqrt{121} = 11 because 11×11=12111 \times 11 = 121.

Simplify: y6y3y^{6} \cdot y^{3}.

The Product of Powers Property says that powers with the same base are multiplied by adding the exponents, written ymyn=ym+n.y^{m} \cdot y^{n} = y^{m+n}\textsf{.} Both factors have base yy, so y6y3=y6+3=y9.y^{6} \cdot y^{3} = y^{6+3} = y^{9}\textsf{.}

Let f(t)=6e2tf(t) = 6e^{2t}. Which of the following approximations, written as a×10na \times 10^n with one significant digit, is closest to the value of f(5)f(5)?

Substitute t=5t = 5: f(5)=6e10f(5) = 6e^{10}. Since e1022,026e^{10} \approx 22{,}026, f(5)6(22,026)=132,1561×105f(5) \approx 6(22{,}026) = 132{,}156 \approx 1 \times 10^{5}.

Which system below has no solution?

Both equations have slope 1-1 but different yy-intercepts (66 and 2-2), so the lines are parallel and the system has no solution.

{2x+y=7xy=2\begin{cases} 2x + y = 7 \\ x - y = 2 \end{cases}

How many solutions does the given system of equations have?

Rewrite in slope-intercept form: y=2x+7y = -2x + 7 and y=x2y = x - 2. The slopes 2-2 and 11 are different, so the lines intersect at exactly one point.

Find xx if 2x+9=5x62x + 9 = 5x - 6.

Subtract 2x2x from both sides: 9=3x69 = 3x - 6. Add 66 to both sides: 15=3x15 = 3x. Divide by 33: x=5.x = 5\textsf{.}

93,000,000=c×10793{,}000{,}000 = c \times 10^7. What is cc?

9.3×107=93,000,0009.3 \times 10^7 = 93{,}000{,}000, so c=9.3c = 9.3.

What is 7.2×1051.2×102\dfrac{7.2 \times 10^{-5}}{1.2 \times 10^{-2}}?

Divide coefficients and subtract exponents: 7.2÷1.2=67.2 \div 1.2 = 6 and 5(2)=3-5-(-2)=-3. So the quotient is 6×103.6 \times 10^{-3}\textsf{.}
