October 6 SAT math

<p>yeah
the first term was 160 and it asked for the 8th term if each term is found by dividing hte immediately previous term by 2. so,</p>

<p>160 80 40 20 10 5 2.5 1.25
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8</p>

<p>ta da! also, the best way to do it is 160/(2^7)</p>

<p>it was 160 80 40 20 10 5 2.5 1.25 <---8th one</p>

<p>I thought we had to find the area of the triangle indicated on the graph. If they only showed three points on the graph, how is it possible that they worded the question in a way that it asks for the area of a rectangle?</p>

<p>there was a rectangle shown. hey i put .625 first, then i realized it was 1.25. thank god i caught that</p>

<p>oh, there comes another question i am obsessed with.
To solve that 160 quesion, i did:
160-80-40-20-10-4-2-1
and wrote in 1 as my answer!
getting a question wrong for not knowing what 10/ 2 is makes me wanna hang myself.</p>

<p>they asked for a rectangle. the drawing was trying to be confusing.</p>

<p>yeah, you can get .625 by dividing 160 by 2 eight times, which seems like it would be right...except the first term is already given, so it would be seven times.</p>

<p>you put 1 as the 8th term?</p>

<p>know what im mad about? i was like *** is depth again, and STUPIDLY i just put the volume. and how about that question where it wanted to know what value of x would make it <0, not =0</p>

<p>the <0 and =0 question i dont remember at all. any more info on it?</p>

<p>(x-8)(5+x) or something</p>

<p>lol yeah, that was a silly one ^^</p>

<p>i love how guessing and checking is so much better than actually using math for most of these.</p>

<p>Chone - the worst part is that I can't remember what I wrote down, but I am 100% certain that I paid extra attention to count 160 as the 1st term. It's killing me.</p>

<p>that sucks!</p>

<p>make sure you get your Q&A thing!</p>

<p>This is how i remember the diagram:

<p>yeh, i know, i am probably wrong.. but i can't stop thinking about this question! I couldn't fall asleep last night cause of this..</p>

<p>i was real tired when i came home yesterday, and was paranoid all day. did i put 180 or 63? i skipped around with critical reading... did i mark them down right? all these things. Im sure i did, or else i would haev caught a mistake half way in, but woooo was i paranoid</p>

<p>yeah harvard, thats pretty wrong, lol</p>

<p>and kevin, i felt the same exact way! i was a bubble off for one of the math sections and had to erase a lot...i was so worried i had screwed up!</p>

<p>haha phew good news. that means that i couldnt have screwed up, or else i would have caught it. but i was just paranoid out of my mind. And i couldnt remember if i guessed 1<x<2 for that 1 problem. im 99% sure i did, but i was like i hope i guessed that cuz it was right</p>

<p>hey who remmebers a question about a rectangular solid with dimensions a b c? I hope that was experimental. And does any1 remmeber seeing a crazy graph and having to determine the value of x (angle) using y?</p>

<p>why couldn't zero be an answer to the abc question? i don't think i even read the full question but a= o b= o and c=18</p>

<p>what was the qeustion to the problem with (x-8)(x+5)</p>

<p>hahaha</p>

<p>thats awesome, and correct.</p>
