MISTAKES MADE TODAY
There were some problems you almost got, but overlooked something little. Maybe this will help:
Q. Factor completely:
4x2 -2x -30A. Not (2x-6)(2x+5) , which is right, but not factored COMPLETELY!
A. 2(x-3)(2x+5)
Q. Find the slope of px + my + k = 0.
Solve for y to express in slope-intercept form: my = -px + k or y =-p/m x - k/m, so the slope is -p/m (a lot of you missed the minus sign)
Q. On problem 10 on the Team Event sample test from last year, many of you figured it out correctly but put down (8,3) and (5,8) instead of (3,8) and (8,5). Remember the x co-ordinate comes first!
The Heritage Gold Team would have had a perfect score of 40 if it were not for these 3 little errors. Maybe you can get a 40 on the real thing. Good luck!
