October 25, 2008 ACT Discussion- Math

<p>yeah it didnt make any sense..but i looked it up online and it says that the intersection of a plane and a cone is a conic..so that leaves one point and two points..i just guessed one</p>

<p>weird how several of us had totally different questions..</p>

<p>So,,.for that KILOWATTS questions, is it 57% fo sho? or is it 4%?</p>

<p>Yea its not 4%. Dang hate that carboard box question i forgot that the max was only root 100 lol</p>

<p>was 50 a possiblity for the boat question? so was it</p>

<p>a. ---
b. 52
c. 50
d.---
e. ----</p>

<p>crap i think i said c.</p>

<p>Okay i dont think its 4% because i recall actually rereading that question to make sure what it was asking and it asked for the percent increase in the monthly pay</p>

<p>So glad.. sounds like I got a lot of them right...</p>

<p>Wasn't there some tangent questoion that was like 17/sqrt(59) or something?</p>

<p>i remember one my answers was arctan(1/2)</p>

<p>The cone one is 2 points. the three shapes are all called conic sections because they're formed by the intersection of a plane and cone and you can get 1 point intersection if it intersects with the tip of the cone.</p>

<p>On a side note, I used vector addition for the boat one. Way easier than law of cosines imo cause that's just asking for some kind of dumb computational error.</p>

<p>haven't seen one of my questions on here....Although I feel I did great on it..</p>

<p>This is stupid. I didn't have any of these questions. Now I can't even see if I got some right =D</p>

<p>After reading this I think I did really well. Knock on wood.</p>

<p>hey pr0ud same. it seems like when i took the april ACT, everyone had the same form and stuff. but this time when i looked around the room all the booklets were different colors. heh</p>

<p>Does anyone know what the cardboard question was asking?</p>

<p>Was it asking for the possible number of integers?</p>

<p>which one was the cardboard question? i don't remember it.</p>

<p>Hmm i thought i posted. sorry if this is a double post</p>

<p>The kWh one... </p>

<p>I thought it was 11 + .062(x)... "C" I think.</p>

<p>anyone?</p>

<p>Yeah. There were purple, gray, indigo, green, etc. booklets in my room.</p>

<p>My room also had many different colors.. mine was indigo-ish.</p>

<p>I didn't have any of these questions, and it's frustrating. I've got no one to discuss the lovely reading passage about flying paradise tree snakes with. ;)</p>

<p>lol that sounds interesting. and im saying that with no sarcasm. </p>

<p>we had terrible passages.</p>

<p>but it sounds like everyone else had the same. weird. is this some new testing policy?</p>

<p>yeah kinda off topic. sorry</p>
