<p>Yeah, I got 92 and 7/51 as well. For the cone one, I solved for the original volume, divided it by two, and solved for the new height (which I assumed to be depth... also, I used the same radius). I think... oh well, I'm sure I got it wrong, anyway. I skipped seven, too (I forgot what the law of sines/cosines formulas were!!!)</p>
<p>Did anyone know how to do the parametric question?</p>
<p>and do you guys think I should cancel my test score cuz I felt really sick today and I ran out of time -__- I skipped 2 and i think i guessed like about 7 which may be probably all wrong... :(</p>
<p>can please someone explain me what a boxplot is?
imagine my emotions when i had to omit an #7ish question and how this boosted my confidence for the rest of the day!</p>
<p>the parametric problem was x^2/9 + y^2/25 =1.
u could have solved one of the equations for 1 and subed it into the other but the calculator can graph parametric equations. Once i graphed it i used the trace feature to find the a and b values of an ellipse. They were 3 and 5.</p>
<p>Can someone explain what the curves do? like for example if the test was a 5+ curve does that mean missing 5 problems will still give a 800 or does it mean missing 43-5/50 (raw score from sparknotes) will give 800 also??</p>
<p>wait, so what are the standard curves like, cause in my PR book it says
50-800
49-780
47-760
46-740
45-730
.
.
42-700</p>
<p>I dont get it. People on this board are saying on their practice test they missed 2 and got 790, or other things.
Is the PR curve a little off, and the real curve a little more advantageous?</p>
