<p>Q: Average of how many people attended home games
Pretty sure I got 15,000. you divide 2420000/168= approximately 15,000.</p>

<p>That was the hardest math section I have ever taken! The one with m+n=mn was confusing because I put 0 with I think is right. I thought it could have been 2 because 2x2=2+2 but I dont think they intended for m and n to be the same number. I did not understand the one with the wall of 40 and the shadow of 30 and you had to find the angle. I know the sin was like 40/50 but I couldnt remember is the sin^-1=csc or what.</p>

<p>@kevyuuuu was is only home games!? I think I did all of the games :(</p>

<p>No it said that half of the 162 games were home games, therefore it should’ve been 30000</p>

<p>Dude, me and a few other posters already established that it asked for distinct integer PAIRS not distinct integers. If it were distinct integers, you would be right.</p>

<p>the M+N=MN was 0 because the only number that could ever satisfy this is 2. However, it said “two different numbers,” so this would not be applicable. That’s why the answer is 0.</p>

<p>Home games means you divide by half of 168** it was actually 162**, which makes it 15,000 (half of 162 is 81)</p>

<p>“No it said that half of the 162 games were home games, therefore it should’ve been 30000”</p>

<p>Okay, in that case, you are right.</p>

<p>I believe it was just 3, and 2002 is correct</p>

<p>^^No, it said “distinct pairs of positive integers”. Read the earlier posts. It was 1.</p>

<p>"^^No, it said “distinct pairs of positive integers”. Read the earlier posts. It was 1."… Thank you…</p>

<p>Any ideas on what -1 would be on the curve T_T shouldn’t have missed the home games question. was going way too quickly.</p>

<p>Um, is it possible that some forms said “distinct pairs” and others said “distinct positive integers”? Because I’m certain my test said the latter.</p>

<p>Does anybody know if there is a way to file a complain to the ACT writers? I want to file a complaint about the mn=m+n because I dont think it made sense to most people. Either m CAN equal n or it cant. It wasnt specified. That would change the answer from 0 to 1</p>

<p>“Um, is it possible that some forms said “distinct pairs” and others said “distinct positive integers”? Because I’m certain my test said the latter.”</p>

<p>Everybody had 70D form. I’m sure it said “distinct pairs”. You were rushing.</p>

<p>^No, forms are all the same, everyone had form 70D, and a -1 is likely still a 36 based off preexisting curves.
Edit: I am agreeing with howmanyofme.</p>

<p>And was the average for the games attendance 15000 or 30000? I think I put 15000 but I dont remember if the question asked for home games or not</p>

<p>“a -1 is likely still a 36 based off preexisting curves.”
-Yeah I think -1 will be 36. -2 35 . -3 35. -4 34 etc.</p>

<p>“And was the average for the games attendance 15000 or 30000? I think I put 15000 but I dont remember if the question asked for home games or not”</p>

<p>I put 15,000 D: but apparently it asked for the HOME GAMES which was 30,000. :confused: made the same mistake.</p>

<p>Ok, now my memory is telling me it was “distinct pairs of positive integers.” Anyway, I answered “1.”</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question that asked you to simplify the equation? something like this, when x=2?:</p>

<p>(-2)^3-(-2*x^3-1) or something like that? What I remember doing is calculating it, which was -17, and I got either B or C as the answer…it was the one that said -2^4 instead of (-2)^4.</p>

<p>Anybody remember the question/answer?</p>
