Official 2012 June ACT Math Test discussion

<p>I got Y is lessthan/equal to -a/b + a</p>

<p>Thats what i got aswell . a was the rise. b was the run
a over b plus the y intercept which was a</p>

<p>What did everyone get for the magnet one?</p>

<p>Hopefully the math will have a generous curve. It seemed a lot harder than the other sections. I already know I got -2. Ugh.</p>

<p>The one with the grandfather clock was 16 right? With 2 seconds in between each hour, there were 2 in between each hour from 1-9. So there was one from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, meaning there are 8 periods where it takes 2 secs, hence 16… right?</p>

<p>i got 16 for the clock too</p>

<p>I got -1 so far, I’m pretty sure that’s all I got wrong, darn you taxi. How often is -1 a 36 on math?</p>

<p>16 for clock too, I thought that question was worded poorly, though.</p>

<p>Yeah it was excessively wordy though.</p>

<p>not sure about how often, but i think that it will happen this time since this section was trickier than usual</p>

<p>Clock one was def 16. And inequality one was x < or = to -a/b+a</p>

<p>Me and my friend think it was abs x = -(-x) and we put x=0</p>

<p>what did people get for the inequality on the number line?</p>

<p>I swear one problem had two correct answers. :(</p>

<p>@iluvbooks: which one?</p>

<p>I feel the same way as Iris. I was low on time and couldn’t read that last science passage. ■■■</p>

<p>What about the rhombus one? I couldn’t figure it out to someone because four times four equals 16 and that was not an answer choice.</p>

<p>was the inequality one 11/5 through 5</p>

<p>@iluvbooks There was one that factored into x = 1 and x = 2. But it asked for the time it ascended, which was 1, not the descending time, which was 2.</p>

<p>Yes, to hopefuldawg. Rhombus one was 3sqroot8</p>

<p>formula for a rhombus isnt sidesquared, there were several ways to find the area which was 8rad3, you could have done sidesquared times sinA or made it into 2 triangles an a rectangle and several other ways</p>
