<p>Actually I thought A was the only one that kept the parallelism of verbal past participles intact instead of making them actual verbs before the subject was even introduced</p>
<p>can someone explain the parabola problem, where you had to solve for “a” in y=a(x-1)^2 given that the point (3,10) lies on the function</p>
<p>^That one was either A or B, but B included “is” and that made it wrong</p>
<p>joe: i just plugged in, expanded the binomial, and got the answer</p>
<p>look at everyone else’s explanations!</p>
<p>@Joepaterno If you have a graphing calculator just plug in 2.5 for the constant and go to table. You will see that (3,10) is one of the points.</p>
<p>Insert numbers so it looks like this
10=a(3-2)^2</p>
<p>So simply simplify that and it’s 10=4a, then move a over and a=5/2</p>
<p>@Joepaterno23 you simply plug 3 in for the x value and then set it equal to the y value (10). a(3-1)^2=10 then finally solve for a. you should get 2.5</p>
<p>I think the Haga Sophia ? was B.</p>
<p>@Joepaterno23</p>
<p>You have the point (3,10). x=3 y=10
y=a(x-1)^2</p>
<p>Plug x and y in and solve for a.
You should get a = 5/2.</p>
<p>@Inlumine Can you please write the whole question. I can’t seem to recall it. Thanks.</p>
<p>The more I read into these post-SAT threads, the more I start to doubt my performance. …And so the wait begins.</p>
<p>Anyone know exactly what time the SAT gods post our scores online?</p>
<p>definitely some time before 6:00
when exactly? i don’t know.</p>
<p>@Ophelia From Hamlet? The scores posted October 19th Midnight.</p>
<p>@Nurture…
It was like “constructed as a church, later converted to a mosque, and now museum” I believe?</p>
<p>^thats correct.</p>
<p>Thanks. There was also a writing section question that was like: “Researchers have found evidence to prove certain ingredients (may promote healing)” is this correct or is it an improper shift in tense from present perfect to future? I put correct and wasnt sure</p>
<p>There was one CR question with “Disparaging” and “Jocular” as two of the choices- what did you guys say?</p>
<p>@irishtraveler…
I don’t recall? Do you remember the Q?</p>
<p>@Inlumine,</p>
<p>Do you remember what choice (A) was like for that one? Many thanks.</p>
<p>@irish that one was “emphatic”</p>
