<p>^Braniac: The distance between those points is 5, and it’s equilateral: 5x3 = 15.</p>

462

<p>ohhh yeah i remember now. im pretty sure i put 15. thanks!</p>

463

<p>@AngelOfSpeed Wouldn’t it be a 3,4,5 right triangle? Its impossible to form an equilateral triangle with those three vertices. Maybe I just read the question wrong</p>

464

<p>and was the inverse graph one just the reflection over the line y=x?</p>

465

<p>^Yes 10char</p>

466

<p>@brainiac Yeah did you put twelve? Cuz that’s what I put too and I felt sure of it</p>

467

<p>okay good. i omitted 7 and so far i think 2 wrong. i hope i didn’t get any others wrong, a 780 would be nice</p>

468

<p>and @brainiac it was not a right triangle. it said it was an equilateral triangle, so all sides are the same length. by using the distance formula the side comes out to be 5. since all the sides are equal, 5+5+5=15</p>

469

<p>@msteiny - I did put 12 but thats not right because 3, 4, and 5 would not make the triangle equilateral</p>

<p>@flyingeagle - The vertices were (0,3) and (4,0) right?</p>

470

<p>what do you guys think 6 omitted and 3 wrong would be? I’m guessing a raw score of 40 which would yield at least a 750+, right?</p>

471

<p>@Battlebrick yes probably a 770. and for the 40 and 60 velocity question was it an except question? what did the question ask?</p>

472

<p>7 omitted, 5 wrong…is that still over 700? 720+?</p>

<p>taken from a previous post:
16. (a^3)^2=123.1: 2.2
^ what question was that?..i dont recall </p>

<p>@msteiny
looks like a 720 from my book</p>

475

<p>When applying to top schools, at what point is it worth retaking the test? At what point will colleges begin to distinguish between being top in math and being average?</p>

476

<p>@nrogals
hard to say especially for math2. usually 750+ is good. but for math2, it’s more like 780+. again, just my opinion</p>

477

<p>At what point would you retake the test for a higher score?</p>

478

<p>If you get lower than 750.</p>

479

<p>^I’m applying to Duke ED, and since they accepted score choice, I would retake a 790 math. </p>

<p>Simply because an 800 math is like ~88th percentile…</p>

480

<p>“He got a 780 in Math II? Oh… we better not accept him!” </p>

<p>seriously, stop acting stupid. anything above a 750+ in Math II is fine. Retaking a 780 or 790 is stupid beyond comprehension.</p>
