ADP Review Packet II

Who's miserable now??!!  What fun... this truly is my favorite time of year!  Have you rationalized a denominator today?

Tell me which problems are making your stomach churn, and I'll try to share some strategies with you.  I would like to hear from EVERYBODY!!!

  2. Hi Meg - I don't have the first packet with me... can you describe #37 easily?

  3. As for #41, it's a combination of an algebra problem and a counting tree. If there are 'x' number of file settings, there are '3x' speed settings. That means for each of the x file setting, 3x different speed settings can exist. SO the total number of settings is x times 3x or 3x^2.

  5. Not that it will help anyone because its the morning before the test, But 37:
    Which of the following is not a function?
    {(-3,-6),(-2-4),(-1,-2),(0,0)} This can be modeled by y=2x, so it is a function.
    I don't have enough time to type B out, but it can be modeled with y=5x, so it is a function.
    Lets skip C for now.
    D can be modeled with y=-2x+12, so it is a function.
    C is the only one left.

  6. to second myself, you should calculate the slope of those lines. If the slope remains constant through all of the points, then it is a function. If the slope doesn't remain constant, it could be a quadratic or not a function at all.
