This Exam Problem is Probably Going to Court

In case anyone is confused why I repeatedly reference f' "crossing" the x axis, as if it couldn't 'bounce' off the axis instead, this is because it can't bounce off the axis instead. The roots occur at interior points, but the critical points (f'(x)=0) occur at the interval ends.

For anyone still curious on the subject, the question has been cancelled due to the court order.

The integration proof is extremely clever, 100% correct, and probably a greater level of nuance than this graph was meant to capture.

As someone who has spent years prepping for the YKS but then had to leave the country a few months ago (permanent leave btw) I can very much confirm how competitive and bullshitted that exam is. Knowing the information alone isn't enough you have to be trained from 5th grade specifically for the question types of this exam. It was everyone's biggest nightmare when I was in HS and man is it a REAL shock to see this happening in it.

I came in expecting to get mad at pedantic ragebait. Instead, I got a 100% valid and amazingly clever proof! This student is awesome!

Great analysis! The way you explained the f(3) > 0 proof using definite integration and the bounding rectangle is a beautiful, deep mathematical perspective. Thank you for bringing this high-stakes AYT 2026 question to the global math community.

I think if the test authors for these entrance exams are getting their own exam problem wrong in a way that requires an actual court to resolve they should take a step back and think about what they are actually testing for. I would expect a college professor to present a problem like this, not, you know, a university entrance exam tutor. Something tells me that nobody will learn anything from this whole fiasco and it will probably happen again in the future.

In other words, to defend their "official" answer in court, the exam writers would need to "bend over backwards" an infinite number of times... between x=3 and x=4.
