<p>Yeah, 88 was the answer.</p>
<p>I have a problem taht i'm very surprised noone has brought up yet.............................</p>
<p>somehting like</p>
<p>x squared -8x +16 = (x)(x-a) + (ab)</p>
<p>"this aleways works, so if a and b are constants then what is b"</p>
<p>i totally guessed and i think i said 3 (just a hint the thing i wrote is not what it actually was)</p>
<p>yup it was something like which number has the largest odd factor. it seemed too easy so i wasnt sure. but i thought 88 because 11 was the largest</p>
<p>thats right
a=3
b=6</p>
<p>Also for the largest odd integer, it was 56.</p>
<p>I just popped all the numbers in my TI-89.</p>
<p>Like I did:</p>
<p>factor(56) = 7 * 2^3
factor(88) = etc</p>
<p>2^3 is even, and 7 was the largest given number. Answer = 56</p>
<p>EDIT: I must have done something wrong. But 88 is the largest...im dumb.</p>
<p>im positive it was (3,5)</p>
<p>if u have a point (2,5) and translate it by (x-1) it moves to the right one space__> (3,5)</p>
<p>how could that not be the answer?</p>
<p>f(2)=5
f(x-1)=5
that is basically what the problem is, the answer is apparent now I hope.</p>
<p>Hellmoto, it was either 3 or 6. I can't remember which.</p>
<p>did everyone get 1/16a^2</p>
<p>I got 1/16a^2, yes.</p>
<p>MNOAAA12 - i was debating between that one and the answer before it/after it.. i think i went with that one.</p>
<p>i mulitplied by 1/2a 4 times</p>
<p>if you used one the awswer could be b or c...but if you choose another integer like 5 you get 1/16^2 or something liek that.</p>
<p>what choice was 1/16a^2 a,b,c,d, or e</p>
<p>what did everyone get for the question with the rations of x-y and x-z</p>
<p>I got 4:5.</p>
<p>ans was 4/5</p>
<p>ok im trying to figure out my score. none omited and 2 wrong. what do most people think that would be</p>
<p>I got the same thing as you, sweatpants, and I think, according to the January curve, we each have a 760.</p>
<p>I'm pretty upset. It looks like I got 4-5 wrong with two of those being the student produced responses. The worst part is that they were all simple mistakes. Oh well I can always retake. What are my chances of 700?</p>
<p>What do you think missing one of the grid-ins would be? (I'm not sure if I missed one, but just in case) Would that still be a 780?</p>
