Official Act Math Thread June 2013

<p>What about the one where it are those averages of production for the week and you had to find the total?</p>

<p>Averages of production was the average they gave you (247) multiplied by 7 to equal 1729. Someone check me on that.</p>

<p>m, n, and nonzero terms: I got n, but I haven’t seen anyone with the same answer so far. I may have misread it.</p>

<p>It was just 7 times the average. They put in extra info to throw you off about 5 days.</p>

<p>What was the one with |x|+|y| = -k ?</p>

<p>Ah, I’m so mad at this math test!!! I’m good at math and have the skillset I just suck when timed!</p>

<p>^^ that one was 0 i think</p>

<p>a>= c-2? I swore it was -8… don’t tell me I made a silly error… Maybe I put -2. I don’t remember. Ugh I hate this.</p>

<p>bmw: 5:12, if memory serves.
TenMore: I got 0 too for the AbsVal one</p>

<p>|x|+|y| = -k was zero and the Averages of production was 1729 - if you didn’t read the question carefully you probably got tricked because it only asked for 7 days.</p>

<p>yes it was a>= c-2</p>

<p>the ratio was 5:12</p>

<p>pretty sure it was a>=c-2 because I got B=A+5 then A+5>=C+3 so A>=C-2</p>

<p>Was the circle one a+b+c=27?</p>

<p>How did you do the mulch one?</p>

<p>I got 17 for the mulch one</p>

<p>@Roxygirl96 If I remember correctly I took the area times 3/2 then divided by 12, because it said one bag could fill 12 square feet 2 inches deep but he wanted it 3 inches deep. Then I rounded up</p>

<p>Edit: got 17 also</p>

<p>yes it was 27. and the other one was 8m not 4m. what about the stakes one? 240 or 252? And the m+n one I put mn but i have no clue</p>

<p>What were all the answer choices for the one where 27 was a choice</p>

<p>I got 252 for stakes</p>

<p>Does anyone remember the wording of this question?</p>

<p>Polynomial in x with m terms and polynomial in x with n terms with m<n. If you (multiply? add?) the polynomials, what is the maximum number of terms you can have?</p>

<p>was that the question? It was #54 right? I put K (mn).</p>

<p>What was the one talking about non zero products with m and n or whatever even asking? I figured it would take me too long to figure out the question so I just skipped it, and then I guessed m+n later, but I had no idea why.</p>

<p>Yeah I think it was G.</p>

<p>it said polynomial so I was thinking like (x^2+x+1) (x) so m for the first one would be 2 and n for the next one would be 1 and it would multiply to equal (x^3+x^2+x) so there is 3 non zeroes. and m+n=3 in that case so I put m+n. That is just my weird logic that i convinced myself worked but I’m probably wrong.</p>
