New York Regents!! Math B!!

<p>i dunno, i used your method too, and that didn't turn out too well. What did you get as your answer?</p>

<p>I knew there was a reason y i went to private school!</p>

<p>lol i only had to take Math A regents and LE regents(8th and 9th grade) it was not fun...I went to a very competitive School district and they prepared The kids so hard..this yr my friends(sophmores) have to take 4 regents and I spoke to one of them a month ago and she was crying b/c it was so stressful..the school system in my old town is really harsh very nice teachers but veryy harsh...im glad i dont attend ne more and I have a nice thing: NO REGENTS!</p>

<p>For the last question I used the law of cosines to get some angle measures in. Then I used 1/2absinC on each one, but I got different answers for each of the 3 angles. So did my peers. Then I used an alternative method: Heron's Formula came into play, and I got 16.2m^2. Is this correct?</p>

<p>Yeah, 16.2 sq. m. was definitely the answer to the last question.</p>

<p>Does anyone remember their answers to the first question on the Part III, the systems of equations? Or that question on Part II about Sigma?</p>

<p>I took it. part 1 was easy and the rest was OK. definitely got a couple wrong in the last couple of parts but hopefully the partial credit helps out:)</p>

<p>Yeah I feel the same way. But what was the fourth term question on Part One? Our teacher taught us coefficients and exponents for paschal's triangle but never said if they were negative or positive.</p>

<p>the system of equation one i think i got (0,-3) and (1,0) im not 100% sure if im remembering corectly...
the question where we had to graph the resultant..where we only supposed to graph a dot or what?</p>

<p>I took this last year.. glad I didn't have to worry about it this year. I just wanted to say hi to the new yorkers. =P</p>

<p>Hope you guys all did well!</p>

No. You had to graph an "arrow" starting from the origin to the point to indicate a vector.</p>

<p>g o d d a m m i t</p>

<p>wth ok the president thing was 31 presidesnts the triangle was 16.2 meters sqaured, just graph a dot .. there doesn't need to be an arrow.. and the systems of eqautions was 0 and 3 .. not -3 you should have checked -3.. -3 didnt work for one of them</p>

<p>no first I had 3, checked it and it didn't work, it was -3. (checking it was what made me realize that i forgot to divide by -1)</p>

<p>the fourth term questions was -35y^4</p>

<p>good that's what I guessed : D</p>

<p>It has the 2006 Regents plus the answers and the conversion chart. I'm Serious..</p>

<p>thanks man</p>

<p>OMG I got it right! (fourth term question) Yay! Really nervous about this test. . . .</p>

<p>wow i really appreciate it. good thing i wrote down my answers on a scrap paper right after i left. now i know what i got without waiting a whole 2 weeks. its pretty good but expected alot better i got a 89 btw</p>

<p>Thank you for the test! I did pretty well. . .but I have one question.</p>

<p>I for some reason got confused with the systems of equations questions and did guess and check just so I would have SOMETHING other than nothing. I only got 1 and 0 I think, so how many points would I get for that question? Not sure. Thanks</p>

<p>Here is how much points they would give you depending on what you wrote exactly</p>

<p><a href="0,-3">4</a> and (1,0) or an equivalent answer, and appropriate algebraic work is shown.
[3] Appropriate work is shown, but one computational error is made.
or
[3] Appropriate work is shown, but only one correct solution is found or only the
x- or the ^-values are found correctly.
[2] Appropriate work is shown, but two or more computational errors are made.
or
[2] Appropriate work is shown, but one conceptual error is made.
or
<a href="0,-3">2</a> and (1,0), but a method other than an algebraic solution is used.
or
[2] A correct quadratic equation is written in standard form, such as 18x2 - l&r = 0,
but no further correct work is shown.
or
[2] An incorrect quadratic equation of equal difficulty is solved appropriately.
[1] Appropriate work is shown, but one conceptual error and one computational
error are made.
or
[1] An incorrect equation of a lesser degree of difficulty is solved appropriately.
or
[1] y = 3x-3 is found and substituted into the second equation, but no further
correct work is shown.

[0] Only one correct solution is found or only the x- or the y -values are found
correctly, and no work is shown.
or
[0] A zero response is completely incorrect, irrelevant, or incoherent or is a correct
response that was obtained by an obviously incorrect procedure.</p>
