I apologize if this has already been mentioned, but what was the answer to the y intercept problem (where it gave you two lines and a point of intersection, (t, something) )?

I didn't have a clue how to do it, despite getting a 5 on AP Calculus. I had a brain meltdown.

just want to check on one math question..i believe it was something like this

like what was x in terms of y and it gave these 2 equations

x=9a
and y=9a^2+1

i put this as my answer, it was on the last math section y= x^2+1

Hey, I have a quick question. Did everyone get a writing section for Section 2 (first MC) or was that one the experimental?

y = (x^2)/9 + 1
since x^2 = (81)a^2.

I had writing for section 2, which I believe was the experimental one.
It had "subway walls' adornments" paragraphs improvement.

it's x^3 because -1<x<0.....so lets say x=-.5

x^3 = -.125
x^2= .25
x=-.5
1/x^2= 4
1/x^3= -8

rearrange them...
1/x^3 , x, x^3, x^2, 1/x^2

so, x^3 would be your median
