Question 9
9.
Which probes would require the defensive team to announce they were hit?
(Hint: Imagine the probe marks you would have to make)
Check all that apply (2).
(3, 1)
(-5, 0)
(3, 10)
(-3, 6)
Question 10
10.
What is the "home base" for this function?
(Hint: check the 'attacking' section. What point do you attack? What is it for this function?)
Use (x, y) format, one space after the comma.
For two points (x_{1}, y_{1}) and (x_{2}, y_{2}), the equation for the interpolating polynomial is
p(x) = \frac{x - x_1}{x_2-x_1}\cdot (y_2) + \frac{x - x_2}{x_1-x_2}\cdot (y_1)

Question 11
11.
If f(x) is a polynomial passing through (1, 4) and (5, 16), what is f(2)?
1
Question 12
12.
If f(x) is a polynomial passing through (-1, 0) and (1, 10), what is f(2)?
For three points (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2), and (x_3, y_3), the equation for the interpolation polynomial is
p(x) = \frac{(x - x_1)(x-x_2)}{(x_3-x_1)(x_3-x_2)}\cdot (y_3) + \frac{(x - x_1)(x-x_3)}{(x_2-x_1)(x_2-x_3)}\cdot (y_2) + \frac{(x - x_3)(x-x_2)}{(x_1-x_3)(x_1-x_2)}\cdot (y_1)

Question 13
13.
If f(x) is a polynomial passing through (-1, -4), (1, 0), and (2, 5), what is f(-3)?
Question 1
1.
What is the goal of the game?
Blow up your opponent's ship.
Hide your ships so they don't get blown up.
Find your base.
Find the opponent's base.
Question 2
2.
What action(s) can the offensive team take on their turn?
either attack or probe.
fortify.
both attack and probe.
Question 3
3.
Which of the following are valid points for a probe?
Check all that apply. (3)
(2, 2)
(1, 4)
(-3, 20)
(-2, 2)
(4, 1)
(5, 0)
(0, 5)
Question 4
4.
Which of the following are valid points for an attack? (Hint: what is a y-intercept?)
Check all that apply. (3)
(0, 4)
(0, 0)
(0, -3)
(4, 0)
(-3, 0)
Question 5
5.
What happens if you attack the wrong spot?
You tell the team you attacked one of your data points.
You tell the whole class one of your data points.
Nothing, except you wasted your turn.
You lose a point.
Question 6
6.
How do you mark the other team's probe?
With a dot on the point mentioned.
With an "X" on the point mentioned. Each line of the "X" should cross diagnally over two squares.
With a circle around the point mentioned, with a radius of 1 unit.
Question 7
7.
On defense, what do you do if a probe mark touches your function?
Estimate the point where it hit and tell the offensive team.
Use your table to find the nearest integer point and tell the offensive team.
Use your table to find the nearest integer point and tell the offensive team. Announce that you were hit to the whole class, but don't say where.
Use your table to find the nearest integer point and tell the offensive team. Announce the point also to the whole class.
Question 8
8.
Once you are hit, you are completely out of the game.
True
False
