OFFICIAL Math 2C Calculator Programs Thread for January 22

<p>You mean the "score choice" option that the College Board use to offer. Well, they did cancel that like three years ago (I am not really sure).</p>

<p>Right now, you can still cancel the score on one test, but only on the math tests. That means that you could still conceivably take two sessions to take any subject other than math (and the essay part of the writing) as long as you brought along a "defective" calculator...</p>

<p>Truth be told, people will try to cheat in any way they can and they will be marked with black marks on their souls.</p>

<p>Quite a few kids have TI-89s at my school; most of them are disappointed by them since they don't have as many games as the TI-83/84s... I have heard of people putting the TI-89 inners into the TI-83 and then using it on the ACT, which would definitely be cheating. There are some competitive cheaters here... which probably doesn't make much sense.</p>

<p>Evilest for the math test cancellation, you have to show to the proctor that your calculator is not working. You cant just call in 2 weeks later and say your calc broke. Of course you could just get a program or routine that freezes the calculator, or one I thought of, a funny one, just lower the contrast a lot and the proctor probably wont realize. Yes its wrong but some people, even smart ones, will do it just cuz theyre lazy. It is kinda fun (heh "intellectually stimulating") to devise ways. Thats about the closest I get to "creative thinking".</p>

<p>How do they work the SAT II? I am taking US History as well, do they just give me both tests and say here is 2 hours, go work? Or do they give you one test at a time with a break in between?</p>

<p>There is a 5 minute break in between, as I recall. Can someone tell me how to put the equation r=sin2x into rectangular format? The 2 screws me up. r=sinx would be x^2 +y^2=y. I got like (x+3)^3=4x^2y^2 which sounds too complicated to be right. I just had a math final.</p>

<p>what in the heck? r=sin2x? what's r? i took precalc...got done with it with 100% A+, and never had to do anything with r=sin2x in rectangular format(what's that?) I"M SO DEAD....maybe i should stick to math Ic</p>

<p>nah kron it wont be tested on the IIC. Dont worry at all about it. Definitely take the IIC if you are doing well in precalc/calc. Hell I'm in the middle of precalc and I am taking it. The stuff you do in a textbook, at least in my experience is a little too in depth for the exam. IIC test half angle formulas? I dont think so. </p>

<p>I took a math final today in precalc thats all. That was a question from it. </p>

<p>The questions in the text book are like this:
convert r=sinx (usually theta) from polar to rectangular.
In rectangular, X^2 +y^2=R^2
so r=sin.
Sin=y/r So r=y/r Multiply both sides by r, r^2=y,
so X^2 +y^2=y.
I got a little confused cuz r=sin2x means r=2xy/r^2 and r^2=2xy/r. If you have no clue about what I am talking about, dont worry.</p>

<p>Can anyone email me the directions for conics (ellipses, parabolas, circles, and hyperbolas) because I don't have a link cable. Some jackass stole it. Thank you so much.</p>
