December 2007 MATH level 2

<p>That's what I put, and it makes sense. To have it reach all the points, the dimension of "all the points" needs to be two higher than the original.</p>

<p>Circle represents all points distance R from a point (2D circle, 0D point)
So a cylinder (3D) represents all points distance R from a line (1D).</p>

<p>I didn't get the vertical asymptote k one. It was one that I saved for last minute but ended up not being able to do.</p>

<p>Yeah i saved the vertical asymptote for last too.. I managed to just scrape it in before the proctor called time.</p>

<p>And there was this one tricky absolute value question.... Unfortunately I have no idea what the exact question was.. All i remember is that I got 1/3 :&lt;/p>

<p>does nebody have a consolidated list of answers?</p>

<p>I don't quite remember the absolute value question, unfortunately.
And I -wish- we had a consolidated list of answers, but there's no way we'd get one of those the day right after the test.</p>

<p>well.... if everybody says it was kinda rough i hope the curve is low
im getting deja vu from ap calc ab test all over again</p>

<p>Unfortunately, CB doesn't really heed to the cries of the students, does it? =|</p>

<p>guys i looked in my barrons book and it said that a recent test had 42 raw as the minimum for 800, so yes the curve MIGHT be more generous.</p>

<p>8 omit=800
6 wrong=800
4 omit 3 wrong=800</p>

<p>Lets hope that its 42 or lower :). I stand at 3 omit and 2 wrong for sure, hopefully i didn't make any stupid mistakes. </p>

<p>Anyone remember the dog question? I remember that "I" was a correct answer and that III was wrong (wasn't that the one asking if after 6 years one gives a younger value, it was after 5 years). Anyone remember what II asked?</p>

<p>I forgot what II said, but im pretty sure I got the answer to be I and II.</p>

<p>ANybody remember the answer to the ques
f(x)=nx
what is f(fx) or something???
I remember putting 1 and -1</p>

<p>^yea thats the answer</p>

<p>wait wasn't the question
f(x) = nx
for what value of n does f[f(x)] = n
in which case the correct answer would have been 0 only. </p>

<p>but that might not have been the question i forget</p>

<p>no im 99.999999% sure it was "= x" which is -1 and 1. There's still a small chance im wrong though :)</p>

<p>aw man... i did 2 parellel lines on each side instead of cylinder
i hate math!!!!!!!!!aaargh im so two dimensional:D</p>

<p>oh and btw my calculator says the question for the s+1,t+1 one was
x^2-7x+2</p>

<p>isn't the answer x^2-5x-4 then?? A, i mean.
Plzplz the curve has to be low!!!!!!
i omitted five TOO LITTLE TIME!</p>

<p>shoot, i got that function question wrong....
I omitted 3 so I hope that's the only stupid mistake i've made...
oh btw, one of the questions i omitted was sth about pyramid</p>

<p>If the base area of a pyramid is "sth" and the height of the pyramid is 8, what is the length of the altitude of the triangle?</p>

<p>How do we solve that? I could only think the answer as 8, but then, that would be such an easy question for number thirty some...so i just omitted</p>

<p>Any of you guys remember this question?</p>

<p>yeah I remember that
From the base area, you can find the length of the side of the pyramid base...
Once you find the side length, you can use pythagoras theorem to find the altitude of one of the triangular faces...
In the right triangle, one of the sides will be the height of the pyramid, the other will be half of the length of the side you found and the hypotneuse will be the altitude of one of the triangles...
thats how I did it...</p>

<p>Yeah thats how i did it too but tbh i had no idea what an altitude was. If the answer was just the height (which was given) then it wouldn't be much of a question. I think the half the base's width was 2 (smallest side of the triangle), and the height might have been 9 not 8. Either way the answer was slightly larger than the height.</p>

<p>actually, the altitude reffered to the "height of one of the triangular faces" of the pyramid..The height of the "pyramid" was given, not the height of the triangular face (which we had to find)</p>

<p>Yeah thats what what I meant. At first i didn't know what it was referring to but i figured out that it couldn't be any of the 2 givens so it had to be the hypotenuse of the triangle formed inside the pyramid.</p>

<p>wasn't that 8.25 or something? </p>

<p>for the s+1 and t+1 question, I used polyshmelt to find the roots, added one to each, rounded, and multiplied them out. I got x^2+9x+10. I think the roots were 7.7 and 1.3, rounded, after adding one.</p>

<p>yea they were 7.7 and 1.3</p>
