ACT Sept 2012 MATH

<p>oops, misread it.</p>

<p>I think if they had meant for nm to be the same think they would not have gave you m+n=mn. </p>

<p>m + n = mn</p>

<p>the question was exactly phrased as “for distinct pairs of positive integers m and n”</p>

<p>guys, I interpreted this to mean that the pair its self must be distinct (e.g. 1,2 is the same as 2,1)</p>

<p>because of this, I answered that only 1 pair would work. (2,2)</p>

<p>the m+n=mn question definitely was 1. It said distinct pairs of numbers. not distinct numbers</p>

<p>@theowlgoesshoot:</p>

<p>I believe 3:7 was the right answer. I vaguely remember putting that.</p>

<p>are you sure it wasn’t “pairs of distinct integers”?</p>

<p>It’s paired distinct positive integer, I read I twice knowing that it’s probably a trap. So answer is 0</p>

<p>definitely “distinct pairs of integers”</p>

<p>Hardest question is hardest due to wording.</p>

<p>Awesome!</p>

<p>So I’m not the only one who thought this Math section was unusually hard?</p>

<p>Does anyone know the answer to the baseball question that said something like 2000<t<2006? How do you do that one?</p>

<p>it was 2. you find the differences, either +/-, add them up, divide by 6</p>

<p>So can someone with a great memory declare whether it was “distinct pair” or “distinct integers”?</p>

<p>Did anyone get like Tan(inverse) 40/50 for one of the questions? there was like 2 cos inverses and then 2 tan inverses for the answer choices?i cant remember the exact numbers but there was also like 30/40 and stuff</p>

<p>Baseball question answer was 2.</p>

<p>Agree with maiden13. Answer was 2. You don’t have to add them up, in this case the sum is the same as the sum of the pieces. You got 12 and averaged it down to 2.</p>

<p>Yes I got tan^-1 of 40/50 as an answer.</p>

<p>there was an answer in that section with 6 i think, remember what the question was?</p>

<p>@karatekid distinct pair </p>

<p>Im 100% positive it said distinct positive integers cuz the first time i was putting like 2+2=2x2 and 0+0 and stuff but then I went back and remember realizing that it was integers. Positive it was distinct integers</p>

<p>log question I got -4. Circle question I got 30. I think I missed one or 2 questions. Man I hate the math curve, u can’t miss any for perfect haha.</p>

<p>was it Tan-1(40/50)? In my test, Tan-1 wasn’t even an answer choice</p>
