<p>Hopefully -3 will be a 35… That test was ridiculous on the last 8 or so problems</p>

<p>trapezoid was 52 I’m pretty sure</p>

<p>ran out of time put all C’s uh oh :(</p>

<p>i believe the asymptote answer was actually 101/103 because the equation was f(x)=(101x+102)/(103x+104) therefore by using the rule it should be the coefficent of highest degree numberator oveer highest degree denominator coefficient.</p>

<p>Random guy, you make a rectangle in the trapezoid (which creates two triangles on each end). I think I then used the pythagorean theorem and did A = (1/2)(b1+b2)(h) and it ended up being 52.</p>

<p>What was that ridiculous question with like x/2 equals something over x plus 1 idk</p>

<p>Same here rafanadal.</p>

<p>Whew! Thank you relativelysmart. i was not sure given that EVERYONE on college confidential said it was 102/103. that helped a lot.</p>

<p>the answer to the x/2 was (x-3) i think</p>

<p>@relativesmart yupp i put that i meant 52 not 57 yay :D</p>

<p>52 was right for the trapezoid. 12 for the triangles, 40 for the rectangle.</p>

<p>Can’t remember the question, but anyone vaguely remember getting $2,250 for one answer? History in the calculator looks like I did 1800 x 1.25… forgot what question it was for.</p>

<p>yea i got $2250</p>

<p>yup me too</p>

<p>what about the $1.25 for every pound then it asked how much would the buckets containing 8 pounds be worth. what was the answer?</p>

<p>Any consensus on the inequality with a, b, & c? (I put E)</p>

<p>u take 8 times 1.25=whatever and then times that answer by 2 because there was 2 8 pound buckets</p>

<p>2a+2b<a+b+2c</p>

<p>sorry i thought the question was which of the following COULD not be true</p>

<p>I put 2a+2b<a+2b+3c because b was the longest leg and c was the second longest.</p>

<p>think of it this way: 2 legs of triangle<all 3 legs of triangle</p>

<p>sorry i 2a+2b<a+b+2c if that was an answer.</p>
