[unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]

I thought 2! + 3! = 8, and 5! divided by 8 = 15.
This means 15 mod 7 is 1 right?
Apparently not... help? I've gotten a question similar to this wrong twice now.

If [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula] is the slant asymptote of [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula], then [unparseable or potentially dangerous latex formula]
Any quick ways of doing this?

Thanks!

Ah I looked at this test today too!

I don't understand the first one either. Perhaps the key is wrong? Or the test? 5!/(2!*3!)=x(mod7) and x=3...?

And on the next one, are you just dividing the top by the bottom to get 2x +3/2, only looking at the polynomial part and plugging -3 for x?

[nsguy1350]

The first is definitely a plus, not multiplication.
I understand the second one, but I was just very slow and had to skip at first.

Man, and I thought you were the master of number sense!
But anyway I think the answer key is wrong...

also , when you tell me to CRUNCH, I have a hard time doing it in such short time...
I appreciate the other advice you have given me, but I really think that there is another way to add consecutive bases...
(base 4,5,6)

You can't ask questions! God's can't ask questions! Lol.

I'm so overrated... lol

I changed my signature...

For the horizontal asymptote, set the bottom equal to zero and plug it into the top.
What's the answer for the mod question given on the answer sheet, by any chance?

[nsguy1350]

I believe the answer key said 3, but I have to check.

[michel470]

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is 1. Don't worry, it's not too uncommon to find mistakes on the answer sheets. Could you run the other similar question you got wrong by me to verify the answer key?

[nsguy1350]

It's been a while, it was very similar. It might have even been that same problem :D

How have you been doing on the arithmetic game?

[nsguy1350]

The highest score I've gotten the past week is 0. Haha, haven't played.
The last time I played, I got a score of 3533 (of course, totally legit.)
Ehh, before that, 60s and 70s.

[michel470]

Ha, well like I said, the brain is a muscle. I got a 76 yesterday in my college readiness class(where I'm not exactly being readied for college), but subsequently scored 60's. It seems like I can only give a speed burst but occasionally, haha, and even then I wouldn't boast of speediness. Keep at it, I'd like to see how fast you can go with practice!
