IVC Classes:

Chinese 1b:A

SAT I
1580. I’m aiming for at least 1800 though. Which I am going to retake in June
SAT II
Chinese w/listening- 800
Math IIC- TBD

Since I was told IVC classes are weighted then my GPA right now with my high school gpa would be 3.46. I was wondering which UC’s I have a chance and if my classes are too easy to get into a UC school.Any help would be appreciated.

Answer: The colleges you will get into depends on what your major is.

According to your current SAT scores and grades, you are most likely looking at UC Merced. UC Riverside is a maybe… you might have to appeal to it.

I would suggest aiming for at least a 1900 or 2000 for SAT 1, take SAT classes or just buy a book and start practicing.

If you do not get into the college that you are aiming for or want to go to, don’t worry. Just go to a community college and transfer over. In a few Community Colleges, they have TAG (Transfer Agreement Guaranteed) which guarantees you a transfer as long as you maintain a certain gpa, take certain classes, etc. TAG varies depending on community colleges.

Question: Can you Help me with this Math Problem?

alright, here is my math problem, its algebra..linear math

The mathematical model C(x)= 400x + 70,000 represents the cost in dollars a company has in manufacturing x items during a month. Based on this, how much does it cost to produce 900 items?

Answer: C(x) = 400x + 70,000

C(x) is the total cost
x is the number of items

you are given 900 items and want to find out how much it’ll cost. so just plug 900 in for x to get:

C(x) = 400*900 + 70,000
C(x) = 360,000 + 70,000
C(x) = 430,000

so the cost is $430,000

Please help me slove question part b(ii).

Note: Length of AE= 6_2/3 (ie. 20/3)
Length of DE= 2_ 2/3 (ie. 8/3)

Thanks ^_^

Answer: You don’t need very much of the information to determine the ratio of the areas.

Area of any triangle = 1/2 base * height

These two triangles have the same height, which we don’t need to know.

The base of one is CE and the other is CF.

Since CE:EF = 3:1
and CF = CE + EF
CE:CF = CE : (CE+EF) = 3: (3+1) = 3:4
and that’s the ratio of the areas of the triangles.
