Practice Results 12-17-12


Even though my formula says Dan Keis does not belong on gold, I might put him there since he did so well on these tests.

The problem that only one (at Heritage - none at FHMS) got was: Simplify
 x2+2x-24
____________
    x-4

Now, in order to simplify this, x2+2x-24 must be divisible by x-4.

So the question is: what times (x-4) = x2+2x-24
(x-4)(x+?) = x2+2x-24    Well, what tie -4 = -24? The missing number must be 6.
(x-4)(x+6) = (x-4)x + (x-4)6 = x2-4x + 6x-24 = x2+2x-24 Aha! So

  x2+2x-24      (x-4) (x+6)
____________   =  ____________ =  x+6  Quite simplified!
    x-4               (x-4)

Scores in blue are estimates minus 2 pts which I use for determining your power rating. So people who were absent, I penalize, but not too much. On the other hand, for league awards, it's the total number of actual points you score on Events A and B.

FHMS Meet3 Team Assignments CORRECTION!

Meet3 will be held Nov 19 at St. Thomas Academy. Friendly Hills does not need to get out early. Instead gather after school in the southmost round entryway by the buses. I'll meet you there at about 3:20-3:25. I'll take attendance at  3:25 and we'll board the bus at 3:30. We should be back at 5:10.

Here are the team assignments for Meet3:

TEAM CORRECTION! We are only allowed to have 4 8th graders on the team, so Thomas Miranda will have to take Dan O'Reilly's spot. So, Dan O. is the alternate in case one of the top 4 can't make it, and Brigham is the alternate if Frank or Thomas can't make it.
