<p>3 wrong 4 omit… still chance for 800?</p>

<p>2^33 bits in a GB. I’m almost positive because I spent a really long time trying to figure it out</p>

<p>Ssur, it was definitely bits in a GB.</p>

<p>Tuba, unless the curve is very generous, no, since the best curve I’ve seen was -7 raw=800</p>

<p>what a relief…thanks guys… :slight_smile: …and 240000, where do u think it would be possible to get some sort of records of the curves in recent times ?</p>

<p>It was definitely BITS. so i got 2^30.</p>

<p>also the |c| + 2 question was confusing because i put this as an answer but -c + 2 is the same thing. so its probably wrong.</p>

<p>what is the exact c question? i barely remember it except for that it had something to do with the absolute value of sin(x) or something</p>

<p>oh and the no. of dots in the 8th term involving a pattern of squares and triangles was 92, right ? i found it by 64 + 8 nCr 2 = 92 … wasn’t it ?</p>

<p>yes it was 92.</p>

<p>I got 92 dots as well, and I’m just going off experience with the estimated score. -6 or -7 is the accepted/norm curve.</p>

<p>Guys, if i remember correctly, the |c| question was :
y = c + 2sinx …( i hope im not missing out on something) where ‘c’ is a negative constant.
So what’s the maximum value of y ?
Obviously, 2 = amplitude of sinx in this case, and since ‘c’ itself is negative, adding that to 2 would give us the decreased value of y .</p>

<p>i.e. , c + 2 = max. value of y … (remember the transformations ? y = f(x) gets shifted DOWN by ‘k’ units if k<0 , i.e., to form y= k + f(x) … that’s all …) …
hence, |c| + 2 or -c + 2 would be wrong, since they both mean that 2 is added to a POSITIVE value.</p>

<p>I believe the equation was y=c+l2sinxl…but I still believe the answer is c+2.</p>

<p>I just plugged in a number for c and got the answer. I believe I got c + 2.</p>

<p>I found that question weird.</p>

<p>For example: let c=-2</p>

<p>c+2 => -2+2=0</p>

<p>lcl+2 => l-2l+2=4</p>

<p>But then again, -c+2 and lcl+2 are the same thing…right?</p>

<p>does anyone remember getting an answer like X(root of (1+M^2))
and can we get a conformation on the inverse question…i’ve marked y=x and i’m pretty sure its right.
I got a 8/11 on the absurd question on probability.
The a-b answer must be 4.
Another answer i remember is -c + 2…since c is a negative constant and in order to get a maximum value c should be positive.
2^33 for that gigabyte into bits question.
The number of dots are 92.
The question for finding f(5) should be 24.
Are of the triangle is 0.5x9x3 which is 13.5
14/36 for the dice question.
That’s all i can remember for now…however i’d still like to be sure on the 8/11 question
Thanks!</p>

<p>I think all your answers are right.</p>

<p>whoa, Tuba, of course they are the same thing. And so, choosing |c| + 2 or -c + 2 is incorrect… i mean, if u assign a -ve value to ‘c’ , then u gotta treat ‘c’ as positive. basically -c would then mean a positive value since it was already -ve in the first place. gosh…i think u get the point by now ? :-)</p>

<p>Except the -c+2 one…im not sure about it.</p>

<p>wait, the c+2 question was looking for a maximum?</p>

<p>yo nyz, it was 2^33,</p>

<p>and it was 2 + c</p>

<p>clearly, it cannot be 2 + abs(c) cuz that graph wouldn’t make sense.
if you draw that exact graph on the graphing,
it would be sin graph with amplitude 2. then it wold be all absolute.
the maximum would be 2. because c is negative, if you - C, then the maximum would be 2 + C. not, 2 + abs(c), if you absolute that,you are getting a maximum that’s impossible with the graph.</p>
