October 2012 MATH ACT

<p>Tangent to circle was that you find the point's coordinates, and use trig.</p>

<p>That ***** was hard for me</p>

<p>Hoping for a 36… What did you guys get for the angle of the line that was tangent to the circle on the graph?</p>

<p>The angle question was easy once you realized the triangle shortcut; the angle divides into two 30 60 90 triangles, leaving the angle to be 30 + 30 = 60. Anybody know how to work last two questions? Scaling predictions</p>

<p>what were the last 2 q’s christiano?</p>

<p>ya, I realized that after about a minute or two. how about we just start a list of all of the Qs and As like usual so everyone can check their answers without having to ask individually.</p>

<p>last question: it gave you one system of equations and then ask you to solve another. I ran out of time and guessed C/H.</p>

<p>second to last one, I forgot what the question asked. also guessed.</p>

<p>last one was 4, right??</p>

<p>What was the question??</p>

<p>I think you’re right; it was 4 (I only know because I talked to someone else and that is what they got). I’m assuming 4 wasn’t answer choice C, so I think I got that wrong.</p>

<p>Yes. We should definately compile a list of questions and answers to give us ccers some peace of mind.</p>

<p>What was the answer to the question that showed a graph with several sections labeled with letters? Also, I remember that the question had to do with soil and a planting business.</p>

<p>Toma, the answer for that was quadrants 1 and 4. But, <strong><em>WHAT WAS THE QUESTION WITH THE ANSWER OF 4???</em></strong></p>

<p>@wcclirl The last one with the 2 sets of systems of equations…</p>

<p>Wcclirl, I remember the answer choices to be T only and so on… But not quadrants.</p>

<p>Are you taling about the two system of equations that then square roots the x? I thought it was 16, but I don’t remember.</p>

<p>@Karatekid do you mean the question: 3x-y= (something) and (3x)^2-y^2=(something)?</p>

<p>It was hard for me too…sigh</p>

<p>I felt like there was a very key theorem I was missing on the one with an isosceles triangle where BA was congruent to BC. Was there some sort of theorem to find the angle BPC?</p>

<p>I believe there was a question about 2+root(5) as a solution to a quadratic equation and what was the other solution. I was experiencing a brain fart, and I was stuck between
-2-root(5) or 2-root(5), I went with the second choice.</p>

<p>i’ve been getting 33-36 on all my practice tests in the red book for math BUT NOW I GUESSED ON 10 QUESTIONS ON THAT TEST!!! I’m so mad cause I thought i would do way better… is it just me or did you guys think that was unusually hard??</p>
