<p>What was the “8 = least value for which one function is greater than other” question?</p>

<p>Was it a fairly easy one?</p>

<p>Yes, it was fairly easy. It gave one sequence 2^x and another along the lines of 16x + 16 and asked for the minmum value at which the former is of greater magnitude.</p>

i remember something about a cylinder 1/2, 2, and the answer being 1 or 2?</p>

<p>@stiglitz - thanks! I remember it now</p>

<p>1080 average was the homework done during the four years of hs question, right? I don’t think that was in the grid-in section.</p>

<p>What was the wx = greatest product problem?</p>

<p>thanks for the post.
…is there the dice one for math section?</p>

<p>any international sat consolidated answers??</p>

<p>i still think you guys are wrong about the who would get offended quote. im sticking to that it would offend virtually no one because the passage states how kael was able to recognize that movies can make us feel emotions that we know to be fake or manufactured in a way but she still said that it was valuable none the less because those emotions were still real. therefore, no one would get offended because everyone still feels the emotion regardless of whether it was manufactured and thus the point of the description before the quote.</p>

<p>and by the way, how in gods name were you guys able to remember all the math problems sheesh haha</p>

<p>rahuja, the passage specifically stated everyone but over analytical critics =discerning moviegoers</p>

<p>and for the Trojan WAr passage the answer to the question whether it did occur or didnt is that it DID occur because based on the passage, Homer’s pieces were enough evidence to support the theory that it did occur. it doesn;t matter what the reader thinks.</p>

<p>It’s obvious from the last sentence of the Troy passage that the author is trying to say that it probably happened because there’s no evidence to say otherwise.</p>

<p>DO u have to put the math answers in simpleist form cuz I put 15/9 instead of 5/3 is that wrong?</p>
