November 2009 SAT Math (US only)

<p>^ I second that</p>

<p>@DoleWhip-- where did you get a2b2 + 2abc + c2 = 0 that equation?</p>

<p>I don’t remember ever seeing it.</p>

<p>that would be (ab+c)^2=0^2</p>

<p>that’s what you get by squaring both sides of the equation.</p>

<p>EDIT: 45fly6129 explained it</p>

<p>Why would 3x-2 be correct when x+2 also worked?</p>

<p>Ughh darnit. -1 for me.</p>

<p>x+2 only worked if the interval of the number line was 1 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc). 3x-2 worked regardless of the interval, which wasn’t given.</p>

<p>lol got your back dolewhip</p>

<p>x+2 didn’t work when, for example, every little “notch” on the timeline weren’t 1…for example, if every little notch was 4 or 6, then X+2 wouldn’t have worked.</p>

<p>How would it have worked regardless of the interval? Hmmmm. I take multivariable calculus and I can’t ace the SAT math – damnit.</p>

<p>Math was hard this time…</p>

<p>omg, scary- we think alike dolewhip</p>

<p>“great minds think alike” BUT “fools seldom differ”</p>

<p>@Dole You are right. ****. Any curve in the math section?</p>

<p>Is there any chance that the section with the number line was experimental? Was this the same section with the three equations one?</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure it wasn’t experimental. Is there ever a curve in the math section that allows you to get 800 with missing one?</p>

<p>I don’t think so. Missing one is usually 790 or 780…I wonder what missing two is. Probably 770 or 760.</p>

<p>another question was like the second term if the fifth is 2x+1 = 111
=13</p>

<p>I don’t remember that question (and I think we had the same version of the test).</p>

<p>Does anyone remember a question with a number line and lots of variables on it? It had the roman numerals and you had to find out which equations were always true? I think I put II and III.</p>

<p>II and III is right.</p>

<p>Is the number line in question the one when all the variables were either negative decimals (-.3, -.7, etc) and positive decimals (.4, .6, etc)</p>
