June 2008 Math Level I

<p>What did you guys think? What questions stumped you?
I think the test was relatively easy except a few questions in the 40s.</p>

<p>I omitted two and probably got about two wrong...I didn't prepare at all so I was glad that there was nothing that I just completely did not know...the one with the lightswitches got me...I hate those kinds of problems...</p>

<p>I think I got like a 710</p>

<p>The questions that I omitted:
1. Length of the two connecting circles (radius 2 and 3)
2. Silver cube question concerning how expensive (#49)
3. The "i" question..it was just an algebraic expression</p>

<p>errr I omitted them because I ran out of time, I'm not sure if I knew how to actually do them or not. Other than that, I think i did well.</p>

<p>what did people get for the following questions?</p>

<ol>
<li><p>light switch</p></li>
<li><p>rope (cut into pieces)</p></li>
<li><p>rectangle inscribed in cricle with radius 1</p></li>
<li><p>distance between P and Q on the circle one with radius 2 and three (mentioned ^^^)</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>i think 16? but thats wrong</li>
<li>112 (pretty sure thats right)</li>
<li>2 (also pretty sure)</li>
<li>I guessed 5...it made sense in my head</li>
</ol>

<p>I got 16 for the light switches. I got 112 for the ropes. I didn't get two and I didn't get 5..errr</p>

<p>yeah, what was the answer to the circle one? I was SO confused</p>

<ol>
<li>light switch
4! = 24 (or if it is 12, why?)</li>
<li>rope (cut into pieces)
whatver the biggest choice was. I think it is like 32 * the unit length</li>
<li>rectangle inscribed in cricle with radius 1
2</li>
<li>distance between P and Q on the circle one with radius 2 and three (mentioned ^^^)
4.9</li>
</ol>

<p>how was the circle one 4.9?</p>

<p>and i thought the light switch one was 16...</p>

<p>The light switch was 16</p>

<p>4 switches </p>

<p>2 possibilities for each</p>

<p>2 X 2 X 2 X 2</p>

<p>16</p>

<p>Also for the area of the rectangle inscribed in the circle i got 2 ??? Anyone else</p>

<p>Does anyone else remember some other questions?</p>

<p>wasn't rope 56? </p>

<p>what about the which is a function of y
I put II, III</p>

<p>yeah thats good, because ppl were saying it wasnt 16, and that confused me... well i hate timed tests.. so i only answered 46 of em, guessing on one of em, and leaving the other 4 blank... hopefully getting around 43-45/50 is still a 700 something</p>

<p>Rope was 112.</p>

<p>First off only 2 of the numbers were divisible by 2 and by doing so that got 3.5.</p>

<p>Those were 56 and 112. I just picked 112 because i assumed that 56 was too small for 31 cuts.</p>

<p>For the function one - i put III only but i think i got it wrong since i wasn't using the right method.</p>

<p>Yes, i just did it - 112 should be correct.</p>

<p>cool, thats like 2 wrnog for me right there w/ 3 skips...</p>

<p>Remember any more problems anyone?</p>

<p>im hoping the two tangent circles question is 5 as the length b/w those two points
it looked like it was the combined radii of both two</p>

<p>idk why i feel like every question had a chance of making a retarded mistake easily</p>

<p>what was the answer to the one with k? i skipped it</p>

<p>oh yeah, i think i remember, that one was so annoying.. like which one was the only REAL number for all values</p>

<p>but if you plug in any value, they all conclude to be real, but i frgt what i put</p>
