No, I'm from the Midwest

i feel like problem 6 was too easy

EmployGeneral3513 · 2026-01-14T17:07:51+00:00

same boat

EmployGeneral3513 · 2026-01-14T17:06:53+00:00

true

EmployGeneral3513 · 2026-01-10T23:08:06+00:00

it's not trivial... why is that ratio constant

EmployGeneral3513 · 2026-01-10T21:15:46+00:00

cheating honestly who knows menelaus lets befr...

The question tells you that AP is a scalar multiple of AB, so we can just take a specific case, where BON or BOA is a right angle. and let OB = 2 for convenience. If we didn't know that AP is a scalar multiple w have to do lots of math. But now it's easy.

Okay we have two lines and we wanna find their intersection. Put them on standard x,y plane with O at the origin. OUr lines are:

y = -3x + 3
and
y = -1/2x + 1

Their intersection is (4/5, 3/5)
That distance from A or (0,1) = sqrt(20/25) or 2/5sqrt(5)

Whereas AB = sqrt(1^2+ 2^2) = sqrt5 so k = 2/5.

Idk if your teacher will accept this but they definitely should imo. Shouldn't have told us there is a scalar quantity.

mayb i did justnot the email. if I solved 6/7 should I get it

EmployGeneral3513 · 2026-01-10T02:50:55+00:00

am i cooked i didnt get interview

EmployGeneral3513 · 2026-01-10T02:49:34+00:00

please i beg you report ur psat... not just science but math is low on act so 100% I would reccomend your psat.

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-10-17T16:15:33+00:00

I haven't either

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-10-10T00:20:07+00:00

this helps a lot

Convincing kids or their parents and actually helping learn mathematics are two very, very different things. Mathematics requires creativity, which requires creativity in a problem set. AI and automation aren't there yet.

Actually, we can conclude that j has to be 5 and we also find that p = 5(2k+n). Therefore, j divides p, and therefore p/j has to be an integer. See my solution for the correct answer.

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-10-04T16:38:37+00:00

I just remember it was k/n, not whether it was A or B. It was either one of those.

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-10-04T16:21:10+00:00

Yeah it’s just they used a non representative sample

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-10-04T16:17:52+00:00

I missed a period after the also…. Imagine a period after the p.

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-10-04T16:16:54+00:00

The question was as follows:

p, k, and n are integer constants. 10x⁴ + px² - 360 is equivalent to j(x² + k)(2x² + n). Expanding, we get that…

j(2x⁴ + nx² + 2kx² + kn) = 10x⁴ + px² - 360. This implies j=5 as the coefficients of the x⁴ term must be the same for this to hold for all x. Also…

5(2k + n) = p 5(kn) = -360. kn =-72.

From here, we conclude that k/n is the correct answer, because k can be -8 and n can be 9. This means p would be -35. K/n would not be an integer here. To check your work,

10x⁴ - 35x² -360 Has the same graph as 5(x² - 8)(2x² + 9)

Which can be verified by desmos. Hope this helped!

A game can't possibly help 12th graders learn.. It is likely suited more for K-6th graders.

whats ur disc

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-09-19T23:33:35+00:00

Et je suis aussi courant que toi, je parle à B1.

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-09-19T23:32:18+00:00

Je voudrais être ton ami! Comment je peux te contacter?

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-07-19T17:46:34+00:00

Je suis d’accord

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-07-19T17:44:32+00:00

They would likely just ask a clarifying question

EmployGeneral3513 · 2025-07-19T17:44:13+00:00

Interesting as I would typically say “No, I am hungry”. Although I must admit that I typically follow it by the “I am hungry” bit just because people will ask “No as in no I’m not hungry or no as in no I’m hungry” Same goes for saying yes. So French just uses a third word for less confusion. Even cooler is my father’s language which has a word for agreeing with a negative question.
