May 2010 - Math Level 2

<p>It’s (-2,-3), unfortunately for me.</p>

<p>[Reflection</a> in a Line](<a href=“http://regentsprep.org/Regents/math/geometry/GT1/reflect.htm]Reflection”>http://regentsprep.org/Regents/math/geometry/GT1/reflect.htm)</p>

<p>“The reflection of the point (x, y) across the line y = -x is the point (-y, -x).”
Ergo, the point (3,2) reflected across y=-x is (-2,-3)</p>

<p>@ bausser
Draw the line y=-x and plot the point (3,2) on a piece of graph paper.
Then plot the point -3,-2 and connect it to 3,2.
If (-3,-2) is the reflect of point (3,2) over the line y=-x, then the intersecting lines should be perpendicular.</p>

<p>If you reflect something like (a,b) over the line y = x, then you get (b,a), right? so over the line y = -x should be (-b,-a)…
I wish I actually remembered this during the test :[</p>

<p>What was the area of the region 12 away from O and 6 away from M?</p>

<p>^you do (pi)(rad 108)^2 = 339</p>

<p>Damn, i think i got the question with the pole incorrect.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember what question 50 asked?</p>

<p>can anyone remember any other questions? I need to decide by Wednesday if I want to cancel or not, and take my mind off of this test…</p>

<p>I haven’t read through everything but has the - abs(-x) question get answered yet?</p>

<p>I put -x</p>

<p>^ Wasn’t that the question whose answer was “x”?</p>

<p>can some1 please explain y the period is 2!???!!!?? and not 3???</p>

<p>The period question was 2. You don’t add the periods. If you graph it, you can see that its 2. I don’t think you can determine it from the equation. Also, its definitely (-2,-3). If you fold the paper, it lands on that spot. </p>

<p>Sigh I ommitted 2 and got 3 wrong so far. Hopefully curve is in my favor. Someone told me May is usually harder…</p>

<p>Do you think the curve would be harsh?</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the exact wording of the flagpole problem? I thought height (y-component) was associated with sin so I put 10sin66… Probably should have worked it out instead of just guessing that. >_<</p>

<p>^lets hope not
3 omit 2 wrong, still have a chance at 800</p>

<p>Anymore questions?</p>

<p>@JakeBlues: Given f(x/2) = √[( 1 + f(x) ) / 2] and f(a) = 0, what is f(a/4)?</p>

<p>You had to find f(a/2), then plug that back into f(a/4).</p>

<hr>

<p>@Aaron2011: We were given distance from P to flagpole as 10 and angle as 66˚. If you let the height be h, you have tan 66˚ = h/10, so h = 10 tan 66˚.</p>

<p>@Aaron. A point is 10 feet away from a flagpole. From the point, the angle of elevation was 66 degrees. What is the height?</p>

<p>tan66=h/10
h=10tan66</p>

<p>Oh ok thanks… probably should have worked that one out lol >_<</p>

<p>Apparently the May curve last year was crazy. -7 at least. My friend told me his friend omitted 7 and guessed on 6, and still managed to get 800.</p>

<p>Edit: Oh and apparently it was the same test as June 2006.</p>

<p>!?!?!?!??!?!
nvm</p>

<p>can sop1 plesse show all of the answers weve come up with please!</p>
