<p>for the circles on the line problem i got 14, not 12. someone got the same answer as me. i might be wrong though.</p>
<p>The answer was 12 for the circle question dude that wasnt that hard… Circum = 4 pie… Diameter is 4… The segment is 3 circles long…</p>
<p>Ok, so it appears that no one has answered my question so I will ask it again. Did anyone else have a problem on one of his/her math sections that dealt with a parabola with two constants and a point labeled (-1,4)? </p>
<p>I did not do so swell on that section and I would /really/ like to hear if that section is experimental of not (I had four math sections today). </p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Guys; the cotton problem could only be I and II.</p>
<p>Choice III said at least 5 additional states were necessary. The largest the next state could be was about .75 million acres. 4.5 million additonal acres were necessary to match the US’ total. since each could at most be .75, we divide 4.5 by .75 to get 6. Logically, choice III doesn’t check out because though 6 is indeed in the range of “at least 5”, 5 can’t exist because 5 is less than “at least 6” which must be the true range based on what was just calculated. </p>
<p>Wrong… Dude at least 5 means 5 or higher… 4.14/.8 is greater than 5… Dude it’s not rocket science</p>
<p>Red that is experimental it doesnt count… sideways parabola was experimental dw bro</p>

<p>Ok about the Texas thing: Is it possible for many people to miss this problem because of one number(it is either 5 or 6)? I’m definetly taking the ACT next year the first chance I get because I hadn’t heard many tricky problem like this one.</p>
<p>@Educated: You’re off topic and I have a question about that space telelscope section: why is the answer “hard to believe”? I thought it was something else.</p>
<p>Did you guys have a question about a confusing ratio thing that had variables r, t, and v? It asked for r/v I got 10 t. I want to know if that section was experimental.</p>
<p>@EducatedBlackman: The language of the answer choice made it confusing, but it can’t be III. Because the answer said at least 5, we have to assume 5 states could be in the range of possible values. But 5 is not, so the answer can’t be true.</p>
<p>Yeah, it isn’t rocket science.</p>
<p>I got the same answer, 14, for the circle one as extremely flat. I know people have been saying that the line segment didn’t include the radius of one circle, but I remember it was 1 circle, then one circle running through the first ones center, then one circle by itself, then another circle with another circle going through its center, and the segement ended at the center of the last circle. the first circle with the circle running through the center has length 6 on the line (cause of the radiuses), then the circle by itself had 4, then the last circle with the circle running through it had length 6, but since there was a cuttoff one radius short, you only took 4 from this part, getting 14. Are you all sure it is 12? I remember this problem well, I spent time on it</p>
<p>also for the one with the triangle with angles X Y and Z where 0 < y < 90 did you all say D? I think D was I and III</p>
<p>With the cotton question i got only one and two. i was pretty sure the question read only 5 states in the US produced cotton, not at least 5 states. That meant that each state had to be below the production of north carolina, which i got to be 750,000. The chart said the states listed produced 10.something million and that the country produced 14.something million. I then calculated the difference to be 4.15 million i think. 4.15million/5=830000. 830000 is greater than North Carolina’s 750000 which meant 3 was false. correct me if i’m wrong, but thats what I got.</p>
<p>on the right triangle question 8 earlier in the section i also got 60sqrt3. i don’t know what anyone else got but I saw 30sqrt3 earlier in the section and couldn’t get the math to work like that.</p>
<p>@tvguideguy I got 15 wrong last year and ended up with 600</p>
<p>So North Carolina had 800,000 acres of cotton in 1999. No more ambiguous pictograph to do your math with. </p>
<p>I still think I, II, and III is right.</p>

<p>Okay I feel really dumb but can someone explain the -4 question for me? I remember rereading the question like ten times because I was confused on the wording. What I remember thinking was that it said f(x)=0, and g(x) was f(x) but shifted two units to the left horizontally. What is x where g(x)=0. So since f(-2)=0, if x for the g(x) function was 0, it would be shifted horizontally 2 to the left where it would be the same as f(-2) which is 0. So i put 0 instead of -4. But that’s clearly different that what everyone else thought?</p>
<p>@Diatomi</p>
<p>The function had an x-intercept at (-2,0). If you shift that entire function to the left two units, the x-intercept will move to (-4,0). Since the question asked what value of x would make this new function g(x) = 0, you just give the x value, which is -4.</p>
<p>@diatomiclove think about it. you have a graph that intersects the x axis at -2. that graph is shifted to the left two units. that would shift the x intercept to -4.</p>
<p>oh wooowwwww, that’s embarrassing, okay thanks guys. </p>
<p>also do you remember the question about the least even number greater than 4x-1 and the answer was 4x?</p>
<p>@D, that was is correct because even<em>even=even and even</em>odd=even. Thus, even-1=odd, and so even=even, as exemplified by 4x-1 in relation to 4x.</p>
<p>Did you guys get B>A>C?</p>
