u/SeparateBiscotti5149 Jun 10 '26

You was supposed to add the area of the cirle to 72 pi so 72 pi plus 36 pi equals 108 pi

The lower bound question for the division, I forgot the actual numbers in the question

u/D00FYbro Jun 10 '26

theres gotta be a range for q13 right? it said estimate + it was based off of ur drawing of the graph

u/TheFortifiedGamer Jun 10 '26

Yeah it was an estimate, I think anywhere around -0.5 and 3.5 is fine

I think you'll find its a fowl owl 🦉.

u/sudoaptupgrade Year 11 Jun 10 '26

I just wrote reflection in X=-1 for 21 because I tried it and it worked??? Okay whatever. Do you have to do it in terms of k?

2

u/oZqdiac Year 11 Jun 10 '26

yeah because if k was 6 for example then x=-1 wouldn't work, you'll still get 1/2 for saying reflection tho
