Official Math IIC January 2005

<p>"I also said 3 since there was a vertical asymptote", wat question was that</p>

<p>the one where it gave you a picture of f(x) and it asked for where g(x)=0, and there was a vertical asymptote at x=3</p>

<p>first 4 problems were : acac</p>

<p>how many can you get wrong and still get an 800..im hearing varying things..one of my friends said it was 7, ones saying 10..and i thought it was like 4-5...soo yea..what is it?</p>

<p>how about this- no one really knows. for all estimates its probably going to be between 4-7 depending on what the curve turns out.</p>

<p>it is around 7 i believe, but it may bary w/ each test.</p>

<p>yeah i got a lot of c's in the beginning, 4 in a row at one point</p>

<p>me too, 4 c's</p>

<p>I remember the first answer was definitely a, then I think the second was c, then after that I forget. don't recall more than 2 or 3 c's in a row</p>

<p>Did everyone get just about all D's and E's for the last 15 or so questions? It scared me a lot. (Or does each test book order answers differently or something?)</p>

<p>i got 4 cs in a row and i am right cuz i am going to get a 800 =)</p>

<p>vastango: I did</p>

<p>prelewd: that may be where the probability question came, but 4 Cs is strange; maybe the <= 3 in a row only applies to SAT.</p>

<p>i just remembered the question about which group of #s had the smallest standard deviation. was it (8,10,10,10,10,12)</p>

<p>I don't really understand why my trapezoid area is wrong...hmmm...</p>

<p>aresonalsweep: yes</p>

<p>for the trapezoid, evaluate x^2 - 4 at 1.25 to find the height. then find the average of the top and bottom and multiply by height</p>

<p>For what it's worth, I got 4 Cs in a row as well.</p>

<p>I'm not feeling as confident as I should be about the test. Certainly, the problems were still ridiculously easy, but I wasn't feeling very good - I had stayed up most of the night studying for chemistry (which I think paid off), was starving by the time math came around (last test of 3), and am sick with a slight cold. There was plenty of time - I took about 30 minutes to get through them all - but on the real sat ii one last night I only took 20 minutes, and I'm normally fairly fast. My main issue is that I know that I got at least one wrong: some really strange chain of thought went on in my head, and at the last minute I changed my answer for the inverse function graph problem from the correct one to a wrong one - literally 2 minutes later, when I was walking out the door, I realized what I had just done, and couldn't believe it.</p>

<p>I don't remember about vastango's comment about Ds and Es, but all the other answers (excluding the wrong ones that have already been corrected) posted here sound right to me.</p>

<p>boys = 2(g-10)</p>

<p>and wat was the 'correct' answer to the roman numeral question: f(x) = g(x)</p>

<p>Prelawd, was that the one where it asked how to identify where the two functions were equivalent (I don't remember very well)?</p>

<p>If so, I think that the answer was I and III, whatever letter that was (I'm not quite sure that I and III were the right roman numerals...). Anyway, I put that the two solutions can be found either by plotting both and solving at their intersection points for x or by plotting their difference and solving for the roots.</p>

<p>yea that was it</p>

<p>were there any easy but tricky questions</p>
