<p>Yeah... it was 180 males needed. Because there were 320 already, and 500 were needed.</p>

<p>So, I have all but one right so far, and I'm like 100% sure that I got all the others right. Is it possible to get an 800 with one wrong? Or am I stuck with 780-790?</p>

<p>Not that that's a bad score, I just feel stupid because it was a dumb mistake (2f[x] question).</p>

<p>For the question: 1,2,2,3,3,3,4,4,4,4 ..............
Did it ask for what place the first 12 would appear in the sequence, or did it ask for the sum of the previous terms in the sequence</p>

<p>Was it m = 16 to the one with (x-8)(x-k) = x^2 -5x + m ?</p>

<p>Also can someone describe the right graph for the y =2(f(x)) one? thanks....</p>

<p>The one with the graph of f(x) and they asked for 2f(x)... I think I had D? It was the one with a steeper slope. What did you guys put?</p>

<p>And the one with the difference between s + t and s+w... I think I had either C or D... eurgh.</p>

<p>for another that said a group of integers equalled 0. the question how many pos. number were needed. was it one
and any1 remember putting t=3</p>

<p>I put D for the graph, one for the integer one, and I think 3</p>

<p>yeah I put t = 3</p>

<p>How bout the one scatterplot with the highest ratio</p>

<p>It was 1992 rite</p>

<p>The integer one is 1</p>

<p>optimus: I also got M=16</p>

<p>yes, 1992</p>

<p>whitee-it was the sum</p>

<p>sibsagar, you only need one positive interger. Add -1, -2, -3, -4, -5, -6, -7, -8, -9, -10 and then add 55, for example.</p>

<p>For the integer one i put one, because there aren't any limits to how high the positive integer can be.</p>

<p>If it was the sum, wouldn't the answer be 507?</p>

<p>they needed to be consecutive, no?</p>

<p>whitee i forget the question i just remember not liking it at all</p>

<p>No, for the "how many positive integers one" they did NOT specify consecutive</p>

<p>For the one with multiplying by -2 and how many were under 100... I had 31. What did you guys get?</p>

<p>so it would be -5+-4+-3+-2+-1+0+1+2+3+4+5 = 0</p>

<p>The one multiplying -2 was 28. 22 + 6 = 28</p>

<p>really? i swear i thought i read consecutive...i must've been imagining things</p>
