May SAT 2011: Math Section

<p>Why was it a^3/2?</p>

<p>I came on here earlier and was so disappointed with myself for not fully reading into the prime # question I left. I just put 19. : [</p>

<p>Here’s one: the second to last question on math sec. 2 where you had a phone call .90 cents more for first call and the total cost of the 9 min. call was $5.85…was the amount for first 2 mins. $2.00?</p>

<p>Damn it i just realized i messed the coffee question. I did it really quick with my calc, and got 3.84, but then i hesitated, re-did it ant got 5.4 or smth i dunno what wuz i thinkin</p>

<p>^^^that section was experimental</p>

<p>Could you have assumed slope was 1 on the y-value 14 question…I believe I erred in doing that to find a quick and easy way</p>

<p>can’t remember the question exactly but it had 2 different equations in a bracket. did anyone get 4.5 for that grid-in?</p>

<p>A^(3/2) was the answer because surface area is A^2, so if you multiply that with a larger exp. value unknown that doesn’t give you the volume. Similarly, A^2/3 was wrong. (A^2)(A^3/2) = V</p>

<p>what was the answer for the quadrant one? 0 or 1/4</p>

<p>wait what was the quadrant II probablity one?</p>

<p>What top view design was the answer to the question where you had to look from below the square pyramid (cross or x)?</p>

<p>How is surface area A^2</p>

<p>Godammit 1 wrong on math again</p>

<p>if i missed one grid-in, skipped one multiple choice, and got one multiple choice wrong in math - approximately what would my score be? i was thinking around a 700 but wasn’t sure.</p>

<p>Quadrant one was 0. For the prime number I got 3,9,5, which makes n = 135, sum is 17 which is prime</p>

<p>My reasoning could’ve been terribly wrong on that one rxin94, but I still lucked out.</p>

<p>^^ 9 is not prime. its 3,5,11</p>

<p>^^^9 is not a prime number</p>

<p>theimpatientone, 9 isn’t a prime number*.
I think I missed 3 or 4 math problems, but I know the score drops really quickly :(</p>

<p>I thought its 2/3 because they were asking relationship between a to v, not v to a? Say each side is 4, so volume = 4^3 = 64 and Surface area = 4^2 * 6 (six faces) = 96. Anyone wann explain?</p>

<p>What’d you guys get for the pen one in the chart.</p>

<p>I have the same question as rxin94. How is surface area A^2? I thought it was 6s^2. o.o</p>

<p>and @jojomojo, I doubt you’d have a 700 if you missed 3. Last time I missed 2, and I got a 760. Wouldn’t the curve be “better” for us if there were these hard questions that people kept missing?</p>
