<p>At this point it 100% depends on what the axi were supposed to be.</p>
<p>It was distance vs time. So the answer was line segment with a positive slope.</p>
<p>I think people failed to realize that the slope IS the speed. The equation would have been of the first degree, a line; therefore, if you take the slope between any 2 given points, it will be the same, i.e. constant speed.</p>
<p>The x axis is time, always. This is because it is the independent variable. The dependent variable, distance, depended on how much time had passed and, thus, was on the y axis. This is solely by convention in the scientific and mathematic community.</p>
<p>Hooooold on. How did you get sec theta?</p>
<p>If the problem was sec^2*sin/cos, you would first get sec in terms of sin and cosine. </p>
<p>Sec^2 is the same as (1/cos^2) </p>
<p>So rewrite it as: 1*sin/cos^3 (because there’s already a cosine at the bottom)</p>
<p>And the answer becomes (sin/cos^3) which is the same as tan*sec^2. I believe that was the correct answer choice.</p>
<p>@curryhead
Your thinking about an accleration vs time graph.</p>
<p>Constant speed means no acceleration and linear distance.</p>
<p>@aaron</p>
<p>You got the problem wrong. Tan was at the bottom.</p>
<p>So it’s actually (sec^2)(Sin)/(tan):</p>
<p>If you split the equation up in two parts.</p>
<p>Top of the fraction: (Sec)(Sin)(Cos)- Tan is at the bottom, so cos is on top.</p>
<p>Bottom: (Cos)(Sin)- On of the sec becomes 1/cos</p>
<p>Cancel out and you have Secx</p>
<p>Ohhh okay thanks for clearing that up. I forgot about changing tan to cos/sin if it’s in the denominator.</p>
<p>Okay, honestly I totally forgot how to interpret a stem and leaf plot and so I went with the middle answer choice because the answer was asking about a median and it seemed like a good guess. Does anyone remember what answer choice was correct for that one? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>The answer was 52</p>
<p>I believe that was the first choice, A or F</p>
<p>Out of the 50 problems, how many were more difficult than usual? My son, who took the ACT yesterday and is taking BC Calculus, said there were hard problems at the end of the math section, although it started out easy.</p>
<p>I really wish I had remembered what coterminal meant - I figured it had to do with supplementary angles so I subtracted 60 from 180 and got 120. The one with 6, 7, pi, and i was answer choice D/J. It said the same thing as E/K except it had a + sign whereas E/K had a - sign. I don’t remember exactly what it said though.
@Hovercraft There were about 3-4 that were harder than usual. I hadn’t seen anything like them on practice tests.</p>
<p>Hovercraftmom, There are actually 60 questions. I thought there were 5 or so that I wouldn’t have been able to do without the Pre-Calc class I am in right now, but overall the vast majority of questions were very doable.</p>
<p>Thank you ahumandalek…it shows how much I know :), yes 60 questions. I will hope for the best and that my son does not need/want to retest. He does not like Trigonometry. We are aiming for a 32 or better composite score. This is the first time he has taken the actual test. He said science was easy, reading was easy, essay was easy and English was fine. Math was the only section he said was hard at the end.</p>
<p>what is cc?</p>
<p>@kindaintelligent You should probably start a new forum. CC means College Confidential; it’s the abbreviation for this website.</p>
<p>Someone posted on the previous page about direct/indirect variation, and they were definitely wrong. Direct variation means multiplying with a constant k ( y = kx ). Indirect means as one goes up, the other goes down (ergo, division), so y = k/x is indirect variation.</p>
<p>The problem was like y = (wx)/(h^2). All i know is the h^2 was the denominator and the w was in the numerator.</p>
<p>The answer was (kw)/h^2</p>
<p>Yeah, I forgot the constant of variation was a k in the problem. Thanks. </p>
<p>Still haven’t found any math, reading, or english I’ve gotten wrong on CC. Hoping i didn’t freaking bubble wrong haha</p>
<p>@efeens</p>
<p>That’s exactly how I feel. My nerves won’t be calmed until I get my score.</p>
<p>@likeasir What do you think you got composite? I’m almost 100% sure I got at least a 35 at this point (that’s what I was shooting for) but if science swings in my favor I’ll have the 36.</p>
<p>I think I have a 34 or 35. Missed 1 in English. Possibly 2 in math just because I was a little bit rushed. I’d say 1 missed (optimistically) or 4 missed (pessimistically), just because reading is my weakest subject and I never have time to check my answers. I think I got a 36 in science so far.</p>
