October 2009 SAT Math

<p>did anyone get the graph question, absolute value of x plus the absolute values of y equals 2. I didn’t know which graph to pick, so skipped. That was the only section in math where i had time trouble</p>

<p>urbanmoonlight: yep, you wouldn’t have enough information otherwise.
civomorth: that question/section was experimental</p>

<p>for that one, the answer was the graph that looked like a little diamond haha. basically the coordinates that satisfy it are (0,2) (1,1) (2,0) (1,-1) (0,-2) (-1,-1) (-2,0) (-1,1)</p>

<p>DOES ANYONE REMEMBER A PYRAMID QUESTION WHERE THEY GAVE YOU THE FORMULA TO FIND THE VOLUME ( V= 1/3s2)
i swear im not crazy…the volume was 64 and the side 8???</p>

<p>The question with the plot had choices</p>

<p>A. 2x+20
B. 5x+20
C. 10x+20
D. 4x
E. 12x</p>

<p>I chose 2x + 10.</p>

<p>I had no experimental- I had extra time…
I had one 18 question section- including the SPR
One 20 question- including the dates with rain…potentially the scatterplot
One 16 question- included the three circles and 62x squared</p>

<p>Ok question…why was (how many positive numbers less than or equal to 1000 are not divisible by 3)
I did groups of 10…so from 1-10 there were 7. 7 time 100 (groups of 10) equalled 700. I then subtracted one and got 699. What is wrong with that.</p>

<p>Also:
first choice of I, II, or III was o
and the second was one.
The chocolates were 0
62x squared was correct
20 degrees or 1/18</p>

<p>okkk soo we have established: SECTION 3 was the experimental section
THANK YOU wherewwithal10!</p>

<p>mmwhatyousay: 200sqrt(3)
wherewithal10: it was 5x+20, i remember distinctly that it went up to around 140ish and 25ish, if you plugin 25 to 2x+20 you get 70, to 10x+20 you get 270.</p>

<p>there was a question with a right triangle, with a line extending from one of the points. one angle in the triangle was 40, and one was labeled x. x was 2/3 y, the angle outside the triangle. ***???</p>

<p>can any1 give me criticism on my post #340</p>

<p>also all the methods of multiplying out the number of factors of 3 is consistently failing because if you notice, there are 3 multiples of 3 in 1-9 (inclusive), but then when you do 30-39 you get 4. it fluctuates between 3 and 4 between each segment of 10s, and even in the 100s it fluctuates between 33 and 34 depending on if you’re in 300, 600, or 900</p>

<p>aznobliteration: bd was the hypotenuse of the top 45 45 90 which makes it sqrt(2) but it was a leg of the bottom 45 45 90, not the hypotenuse.</p>

<p>I’m going to be so unhappy if I put 400rt(3) instead of 200rt(3). I had like 10 extra minutes to go back and look over that section after I finished.</p>

<p>was the question with the 8 rocks (24), and the average was 15</p>

<p>Tigaham tell me about it. I accidently put 333 rather than 666. At first I knew it was which numbers are NOT divisible, but I put which ones ARE divisible. SO SAD! :frowning: but whatever hopefully I missed only 3 with one grid in.</p>

<p>EDIT: mikek99998 yes.</p>

<p>can you explain which math section was expirimental?
also does anyone want to compile a list of math questions?</p>

<p>mike: You are correct, the answer was 24.</p>

<p>the one with an answer choice: X<Z-Y or something like that
was the answer a or e?</p>

<p>is the experimental section usually harder than the real ones? because one section was ridiculously easy, and it would suck balls if it is the exp sect.</p>

<p>What did those of you put for the question for the number of possible solutions for this equation:</p>

<p>sqrt(x) + 3 = a - 7 ?</p>

<p>Was it 0, 1, or 2?</p>

<p>sat2009: The answer was a)</p>
