The first integral was
Give it a try! Did you get the correct answer? How do I know if I got the correct solution you may ask. Well, just differentiate your answer to see if you get the integrand. If you did get y = ½ x2 + 2x - 3 ln | x+1| + C, then you would have already made 1 out of the possible 46 points. There were a total of 13 problems. Why not give the rest of the Bee a try?

The PME/GMC Faculty Advisors (Matt Boylan, Maria Girardi, and Ronda Sanders) showed up. Some other Math Faculty and Friends also came: Deynise Griggs (photographer), Jerry Griggs (Math Dept Chair), and Dave Sumner (keeper of the ice cream). The six of them really didn't do much (not even one integral!).
