March 2012 SAT I Math Thread

<p>Why was the shift 6? Didn’t it say what is the difference btwn the max y value on the original graph and the new one and since it was shifted up 2 wouldnt it just be two?</p>

<p>^yes experimental</p>

<p>Pinkrose.</p>

<p>The original max and min difference was 6.</p>

<p>Now you shift the whole thing upwards 2. So the max is increased by 2. The min is also increased by 2.
The difference is still 6.</p>

<p>@thesmiter no i was remembering it wrong…it wasnt an octagon it was a pentagon or maybe a hexagon with the angles labeled but i didnt get an octagon question inscribed in a circle either!! and i had 4 math sections </p>

<p>whatever, theres no point stressing, im planning to take it again anyways. i didnt study much this time.</p>

<p>Bringing this question back up - anyone remember getting 86 as an answer for one of the questions … something about splitting into 10 group with a group of 6 and something else …?</p>

<p>@13032679</p>

<p>Yeah 86.</p>

<p>I had an experimental 25 minute math section. Trying to figure out which one it was, since one went very badly, and one went very well.</p>

<p>I remember two of the last three questions on one of the sections. One was involving two functions and a list of three columns and five rows of values. The second involved finding how many numbers between 100 and 200 inclusive had two+ of the same number. </p>

<p>Was that section experimental?</p>

<p>everybody is worrying me. what was the problem that everybody is saying the answer is 15?
… i haven’t missed any so far can somebody please answer my question.</p>

<p>Im expecting a super harsh curve. -1 770 and -2 740. This was literally the easiest math I’ve done but maybe I’m just getting better. I only missed the triangle problem. </p>

<p>But what was the answer to question that was 4y>10
X>4y
And it asked for lowest possible value of x. I think I got 11. </p>

<p>But guys don’t worry. Practice and keep practicing. SAT math gets easier every section and eventually you just start seeing things.</p>

<p>set s={1,2,3,4)</p>

<p>N is the sum of squared of two numbers.</p>

<p>Which of the following can’t not be N.</p>

<p>^ it was 17</p>

<p>4^2+1^2= 16+1=17.
It’s 15.</p>

<p>@Ben: No, I had that too, and an experimental CR. And I got 29 for that question.</p>

<p>@Young: I had x=8. 4y > 10, so y> 2.5</p>

<p>Then I substituted y=2.5 into the original equation ang got x =/= 5, so I put 8.</p>

<p>@nice </p>

<p>Craaaap I misread it and thought it asked for some reason what the difference btwn the original graph’s max y and the new one…</p>

<p>what were the answer choices on that one @niceboat i think i put D. im not sure.meh</p>

<p>for the question concerning the triangle (length of pr) everyone seems to have gotten E, which was something along the lines of 6+2root3, but for some reason I got 12 :confused: Could someone explain that answer? :)</p>

<p>@ howmanyofme</p>

<p>5
10
15
17
something else.</p>

<p>Assuming that the numbers were in order from least to greatest(usually are) then you were wrong.</p>

<p>I don’t understand the grid-in question that asked the value of “a”. It said the triangle’s area had to be less than 9 correct? and the point it had was (6,4). So why is the max value “a” could be 4.5? why couldn’t it be 5?</p>

<p>Curve Predictions? -1 = 800 math</p>

<p>D is wrong. 16+1=17. Only 15 is correct</p>
