<p>Which ones specifically?</p>

22

<p>Any of them really. I can’t remember the questions, but I was running out of time and had to rush through those ones.</p>

23

<p>Hmmm…
I actually took the test backwards to get the harder questions out of the way first, so the only one I remember is 50.</p>

24

<p>Does anyone remember the one about the graphs of the functions? They ALL freaking looked like graphs of a function to me. Was it E (the hyperbolic looking one?)</p>

25

<p>If anyone has taken it before today, how did this one compare?</p>

26

<p>Wasn’t one a circle?</p>

27

<p>But a circle is a function, right? (x-h)sq + (y-k)sq …</p>

<p>…wait, crap.</p>

28

<p>Yeah, vertical line test.</p>

29

<p>yea, circle, vertical line test,
the intersection is triangle since its an infinite plane,
1-x
2+sqrt2
1 and 5 for the angles i think</p>

30

<p>Was the hexagon one 2 sqrt3?</p>

31

<p>I can’t believe I forgot the vertical line test. I just saw a circle and I went, hey, wait, that’s a function, I know it’s equation. Epic, epic fail.</p>

32

<p>I got 2rt3 too for the hexagon one. Anyone confirm this?</p>

33

<p>yes, but i did it by splitting the equilateral triangle by the center,</p>

34

<p>Yes, the answer to the hexagon question was 2sqrt3 because…
If you fold the outside 3 pieces of the hexagon into the equilateral triangle, it forms the same area of the equilateral triangle, sqrt3. You then just add the two roots.</p>

35

<p>I thought it was easy for the most part. The two that I skipped were the last one with the square and the two circles, and also the one with the triangle inside of the hexagon.</p>

36

<p>what the… so the hexagon prob u just have to double the area of the triangle?? I spent like 5 mins on that prob and eventually gave up… anw, what do u guys think about -1 or -2, i think it will be like 770?</p>

37

<p>Guys- anyone know about the curve for this test?</p>

<p>I did ok on the first 25, but then I did awful on the second 25. I omitted 6, and am expecting to get between 5 and 7 wrong. Score?</p>

38

<p>Mmm…I totally feel I did better on Math 2 than Math 1. Seems really strange.</p>

39

<p>The curve is usually harsh on this test. Generally for every -1 you loose 10 points. But it slightly changes.</p>
