<p>Let's start this off,</p>

<p>Math was kinda tough for me. Is it hard for you guys?</p>

2

<p>If you took the March one, I thought this one was a lot easier mathwise.</p>

<p>The one question that’s killing me is that cube question…where everyone put 54 and i put 51. It looks like its 54 unfortunately</p>

3

<p>KBronx17 it is 54.</p>

<p>What did you guys think of the question with the 5% of students. Was is 1600 or 1420? The first answer is right if 80=5% and the second is right if 71=5%. It comes down to the wording of the question. Did 5% of the school miss AT LEAST 1 day? Or did 5% of the school miss 1 day?</p>

4

<p>1420 was the correct answer.</p>

5

<p>How does one get 1420?</p>

6

<p>If 71 of the students were 5%, then you get 1420.</p>

<p>I think it was 1420.</p>

7

<p>im pretty sure it was 1600 for that.</p>

8

<p>It wasn’t 71 of the students, it was 80. You count the students not the absences, so there was 90 total absences, but 8 of them were counted once more and 1 of them were counted twice more. 90 - 10 = 80.</p>

9

<p>1600 here.
Was there both a rest stop and a trail marker, or only a trail marker at the beginning of the trail?</p>

10

<p>Was that 2:1?</p>

11

<p>For the question that had I,II, and III, was the third one F(7) > F(9)?</p>

<p>I remember the two other choices which were like F(2) > F(1) and F(5) > F(4).
Does anyone remember specifically what the third one was?</p>

12

<p>Yeah it was F(7) > F(9). All three were true I think.</p>

<p>Anyone get 5 for the question asking about slope on the parabola?</p>

13

<p>Yes, it was F(7) > F(9).</p>

<p>The answer was I, II, and III.</p>

14

<p>This question was a doot</p>

15

<p>i think it was 1420.</p>

16

<p>I got 5 for the slope of the parabola. I’m still confused on the answer for the double reflection question. Wasn’t the original point (3,1) or did I misread it?</p>

17

<p>If there was both a trail marker and a rest stop at the beginning of the trail, then the answer is 2:1.
If there was only a trail marker but no rest stop, then the answer is 8:3.</p>

18

<p>I think there was both a trail marker and a rest stop at the beginning of the trail.</p>

<p>@ Pitt the answer for that one was (-1, 3)</p>

19

<p>Oh my gosh… I reflected across the x-axis. Idiotic mistake. Thanks!</p>

20

<p>The slope was five for parabola question.
(-1,3) for the reflection over y=x </p>

<p>I though was was a lot easier this time around. I took the one back in May.</p>
