<p>Yeah, I didn't have an Alexander the Great section, so that one is for sure the experimental.</p>
<p>heres how i saw it.
x^2 = x + 6</p>
<p>subtract x^2 from both sides and you get
-x^2 + x + 6, thus any value of x, x^2 will still be negative
so x^2 < x</p>
<p>I don't remember one on Alexander the Great... Maybe thats just me?</p>
<p>thrills4ever, -2 worked in the equation. Squaring that is 4 which is greater than 2.</p>
<p>Alright cool. </p>
<p>For anyone who had Alexander the Great, do you remember any of the vocab's from that section?</p>
<p>yea ididnt get Alexander the great.</p>
<p>How did you guys get -1 or -2? Isn't g(x) above f(x), it which case it should've been either +1 or +2? Personally, I got g(x) = f(x) + 1.</p>
<p>thrills4ever, if you solve that quadratic equation you get x=3 or -2. In which case, x^2>x. I don't really understand your reasoning...</p>
<p>Shina Laris, Thats what I got.</p>
<p>MetheMan, </p>
<p>Let x = money obtained from sales.</p>
<p>300 + .2x = 200 + .25x</p>
<p>100 = .05x</p>
<p>x = 2000</p>
<p>However, the Q asked for the total COMPENSATION of the 2 salespeople, not the money directly obtained from their sales. Therefore 300 + (.2)(2000) = 700 = 200 + (.25)(2000).</p>
<p>well if g(x) is above, it has to move DOWN to get to f(x) so it has to be a subtraction. but ithink i was sthpid and picked -2 instead of -1. was there even a -2??? PLEASE TELL ME</p>
<p>Sweetness, I don't know...I put f(x) +1...didn't the ask how to express G(X) in terms of F(X)? So you had to change/move f(x), not g(x).</p>
<p>g(x) = f(x) +1
the function f was lower than g. trust me on this one, lol</p>
<p>I don't think there was a -2, but there might have been. Would have been wrong anyway, because it was +1 because its what f(x) has to do to become g(x), which was move up one.</p>
<p>I didn't have Alexander....did anyone else have 2 sections of Writing with 35 Qs each?</p>
<p>

which writing did you think was harder, the first (i think it was section 2) or the second (i think it was section 4)?
[/quote]
</p>
<p>The first. For me I think it was Section 3. A lot of the error identifications were tough.</p>
<p>crap, was the questionasking if f(x) had to move up to g(x)? cuz i thought it was the other way around. o man.</p>
<p>oh crap, it is x^2>x</p>
<p>I dunno about the math. I know I got one of the vocab questions wrong...can't even remember it now....</p>
<p>I feel like I got too many E's in the section with the biographer ensuring that the author was famous, and thus his own famousness. I don't know...did anyone else?</p>
<p>yea i got 2 writings, adn i thought the first one(sec 3) was much harder.</p>
