<p>Noloserhere, it was 1.6. I don’t remember how I did it, but it was 1.6.</p>

42

<p>What do you guys think -1 math will be?</p>

43

<p>here’s how i did the pen one:</p>

<p>average of 1.4 pens -> assumed 10 kids, so 14 pens total</p>

<p>then i just found numbers that would fit the scenario, which gave 16 pencils</p>

<p>16/10 = 1.6</p>

44

<p>highest max was the one that had -(x+2)^2 +(-2)^2</p>

45

<p>@prettyawesome27 i think i picked a for that question but i don’t remember what that was.</p>

46

<p>fidel, are you sure about max value one?</p>

47

<p>@fidel, I also got that for the maximum value. :)</p>

48

<p>oh hahah nevermind don’t trust me on that one. i think i got that wrong… :(</p>

49

<p>yeah because all the other options subtracted from the max (instead of adding 2 they subtracted stuff cuz of the odd exponent) . the max of x^2+2 is 2 but for -(x+2)^2+4, its 4. (plug in 0 and -2 respectively). You could even graph them on the calculator.</p>

50

<p>there goes my 800</p>

51

<p>dammit that makes 2 wrong so far (max value and subset one) i’m going to leave now before i get any more discouraged lol</p>

52

<p>A disagreement? TIME FOR AN ULTIMATE MATH SHOWDOWN!!!</p>

53

<p>Where’s the disagreement? And also, for the CR Curve, do you guys think it’ll be harsh or generous? I thought it was harder than the March CR, and the curve for that one was a -3=740…</p>

54

<p>no im right it was the one that added -2 squared. Was anyone else pleasantly surprised by the writing section? The essay was fairly easy and the grammar was amazingly easy.</p>

55

<p>Never mind. Herrothere withdrew his disagreement and replaced it with the word for feces that rhymes with pit.</p>

56

<p>for the highest max value it was A. I graphed them all on my calc</p>

57

<p>for the max value what choice number was that?</p>

58

<p>@ fidelgato: I agree, and it was ironic because I scored an 800 on my writing the first time I took it in March, so I just breezed through this one.</p>

59

<p>I had a math experimental…can anyone confirm that the question about the x-axis reflection was an experimental section? I was an idiot and did a y-axis reflection I think.</p>

60

<p>Grapple, answer A for that question was -X^2 + 4. I picked it as well.</p>
