Official Act Math Thread February 2013

<p>You switch the bottoms for the ellipse one. If you have a negative I think you make a hyperbola.</p>

<p>I got 24n for the book one</p>

<p>Gleek, for the inequal one, I’m fairly sure it was 1<x<81.
The ticket prices one I think I put 100, I know I got it right but I don’t remember the exact number. I know that there were 200 childrens tickets for 3$. The book price one came out to something like 1.5x + 44</p>

<p>Ditto on 24n, 2pi</p>

<p>Alright, there seems to be a lot of activity about the probability question. </p>

<p>Here seems to be the general consensus for the questions:
Probability question = {3/4}
Period= 2 pie
Town question= 12
Total hours read question = 24n</p>

<p>Any nay sayers???</p>

<p>Could someone explain the 24n and 2pi as the answers if they can remember why?</p>

<p>Can someone explain the period one to me?</p>

<p>Working, The pi one was just measuring the distance between the humps.</p>

<p>the period one is definitely 4pi. i don’t know what you guys are saying, only one person has said that its 2pi (that isnt a general consensus)</p>

<p>the probability one was for sure 3/4</p>

<p>ellipse i got x^2/9+y^2/16= 1</p>

<p>Yeah can someone explain the period question to me?</p>

<p>Edit: Tips is right, half of the period is 2pi. I forgot that it was the distance from top hump to top hump, which was 4pi. God, stupid mistakes killed me on this one.</p>

<p>The trick to the period one is to know that the equation for a period is 2pie/ frequency. Where frequency is the total number of full revolutions.</p>

<p>Wasn’t the distance between the humps 4pi?</p>

<p>Tips, I am doing my best here, I will update.</p>

<p>^tips1660 I got 4pi too! I know I got the ellipse problem wrong though…</p>

<p>TheKongo, you’re right, yes it was.</p>

<p>Here seems to be the general consensus for the questions:
Probability question = {3/4}
Period= 4 pie
Town question= 12
Total hours read question = 24n</p>

<p>Any nay sayers???</p>

<p>Does anyone else remember what they got for the adult ticket question? Also the question a the end that asked about price like 850, 1000 something and 2000 something for answer choices? I randomly guessed 850 at the end</p>

<p>Do we agree that the total hours read question is 24n- that’s what i got!</p>

<p>Gleek, I don’t remember the price one you’re talking about could you elaborate? But the adult ticket question was 150 adult tickets, 200 childrens.</p>

<p>24n is right. Pencils was 1155 I believe. I just guessed and checked for that one.</p>
