does anyone remember the question: how many times does this function cross the x-axis? f(x)= xy^5-2x=3y+1 (or something like that?)

As for the imaginary numbers one, it was A (I think), whichever letter was the higher letter in the 2nd quadrant. Explaination:

On the real axis, the point was (-a,0) and on the imaginary axis, the point was (0,bi).
Thus, adding the points, you get -a+bi. (if that wasn't the question, sorry, since i don't remember it completely right now. i think that was the question though)

my question: the one with point P 6inches from plane M. How do you work that out? For some reason... complete blankage in my mind );

what do you think 6 omitted and 10 wrong is? I just want to see what an estimate (conservative for 10 wrong). That doesn't seem very good.

@duchess
good point, i read the axis wrong. I thought that was the visual representation of the data distribution...not a frequency chart. -_-;

"what do you think 6 omitted and 10 wrong is? I just want to see what an estimate (conservative for 10 wrong). That doesn't seem very good."

660~?

is the official book of sat subject tests from college board accurate in terms of determining the score? or does it vary a lot from year to year...cause you can omit up to 5 and still get an 800 according to it

You are a careless error...Lol just kidding, I am sure you were deliberately created.

Anyways, I am in the same situation as you AP currently. Are you taking the BC exam on Wednesday?

Did you put E: a = -3, c = -1
For which of the following has no real roots?

y = ax^2 + 3x + c was the equation. I am 100% sure it is E.
Actually I am not asking if it is E. I am just contributing to our pool.

Marathi power.

kapwatt- I think I put A for that one. I think it was because a and c were positive, and b^2-4ac must be less than 0. so 9-4*a*c < 0. but if -3 and -1 was a choice, that would work too. ???

well kapwatt, you're right. it is E i'm pretty sure. the trick of the question was to plug it into the quadratic formula, and E was the only one that gives you a negative value under the square root (I forgot what that part is called). so you have to end up factoring out a i, which makes the answer imaginary.
