9:20 in desmos, you could also put the table values into a table in desmos. Then on another line type in y_1~(ax_1)^2+bx_1+c. It should give you the constants of those letters. Then bring your equation out ((-4x)^2+184x-2108). Put it in a g(x), but also add the -4 to it so it should look like this g(x)= ((-4x)^2+184x-2108)-4. Then type g(0)=-2112. It saves time if you learn how to use desmos correctly and precisely.

@nourrahhal3408 4 месяца назад

using the constants desmos gave you, u can just plug those into the same vertex form equation, plug 0 into x for the y intercept and they'll give you your y value (-2108), then mentally subtract 4

@hey...4702 29 дней назад

You can actually do the third question way easier in desmos than what you showed. Make a table and plug in all the values for the given points. In a seperate line, write the vertex form y1~a(x1-h)²+k and it'll give you the values of a, h and k so if the question was about one of those that'll work too. But since the question asks about the y intercept, you have to scroll all the way down to find it, and then (as you said) subtract 4.

@sdgsat182 16 дней назад

Good for you if you can do it faster in desmos, but you're clearly a "master desmos user." Most students are nowhere nearly that desmos-fluent. Honestly, this question is best done directly without desmos, IMO- the key is that you recognize and use vertex form for a quadratic. For a less-than-700 scoring Math student, I endorse his demonstrated method as a good "fallback option." -Mr. Andrew , SDGSAT tutor

@trotfoxpvp2061 5 месяцев назад

@select7264 5 месяцев назад

But the right answer was A

@preppros 5 месяцев назад

You don't want to do that. That's how they have intentionally created the trap wrong answer, which in this case is B.

@pandathegaminglegend5700 Месяц назад

not how it works here tho bc that equation wouldn't work as the cost changed. say u had 26 ppl and u plugged in 26 for n then you would get $889 which is completely off (its meant to be 539). the only trick here would be to go and plug in 26 for n (or anything higher if u rly want) and see which one works (assuming u didn't know how to actually write the equation).

Why do we know to try to find y-intercept of 33 for the exponential functions. How is that “defined.” I get the math to solve it. I just don’t know why we need to take the steps we take in the first place. What does it mean for a coefficient to “define” a maximum

@MathwithWaqasShah 2 месяца назад

bcz in the question it was asked to find the y intercept of y=f(x) not of y=f(x) +4. thats why 4 is shifted on the other side of the equation means f(x)=y-4. i hope it would have helped

@katie3913 5 месяцев назад

For question #5, wouldn't it be easier/more efficient to plug in both equations into Desmos, put "p" as a slider, and then adjust "p" until the two lines are parallel?

@preppros 5 месяцев назад

Hi, you could use the slider but if the answer choice is a fraction such as 5/13 (0.385) the likelihood of you being able to find the correct answer with the slider is pretty low. According to the international students I worked with, who have been taking the Digital SAT for over a year, answer choices like those have been quite common for more difficult questions. So I would use it as a last line of defense if you were stuck on how to solve the question without the slider.

@preppros 6 месяцев назад

Hi, I think you missed the important tip. When a quadratic is expressed in ax^2+bx+c form the product of the solutions is c/a which lets me jump all of the steps that otherwise need to be taken. Lots of little formulas and tricks like this that you can learn to make SAT math far easier. Hope this clears it up!

Can you explain that last portion of your answer for the final question? I dont understand why you set your answer to the answer choice?

@preppros 5 месяцев назад

I was setting the value equal to the answer choices because we know since it's an upwards facing parabola the value of a must be positive. The answers are giving the values of a+b+c and we solved in terms of a so using those answer choices we need a positive value. Hope this clarifies it! It's a super tricky question and may take watching the explanation back through with this in mind to click. Hope this clears it up though!

@pandathegaminglegend5700 Месяц назад

@@adnansrour8790 it says that it crosses through the x-axis twice. and since the y value of the vertex is negative that means the parabola needs to face upward. otherwise it would never cross the x-axis (draw out or use desmos and you'll see what i mean). this means a needs to be a positive value (anything greater than 0 works). so by setting up the equation in terms of a you just need to find the only one where a is positive and that's your answer
