Official May 2008 SAT discussion

<p>@Feed -> Okay I see. But yeah, you're right - that is (kinda) the general notion here.</p>

<p>^ And I hate it so much. Stereotypes **** me off (unless people are using them about themselves... haha).</p>

<p>long shot but does anyone remember what the answer to the writing question involving the raw and cooked tomatoes?</p>

<p>Could it have been experimental Green1? I don't recall that.</p>

<p>But really, wasnt the question asking for the equoation of a line that does not go into negative?</p>

<p>I recall it. It was either C or D... because it was incorrect parallelism. It was comparing the nutrition value of something with tomatoes... whereas it should have been comparing the nutrition value of something with the NUTRITION VALUE of tomatoes.</p>

<p>See what I mean?</p>

<p>Rangzen, the only negative slope for that question was E... and all the others were positive.
The choices were:</p>

<p>y=3
x=3
y=3x
y=3x+3
y=-3x+3</p>

<p>Only the third one doesn't pass through the II and IV quadrants.</p>

<p>Green --</p>

<p>I believe the error was the fact that the comparison was made between a property of tomatoes and a kind of tomato. The second item in the comparison was the error.</p>

<p>Did anyone have a CR section with two paragraphs about Eleanor Roosevelt and a SC with demurral and ardently?</p>

<p>how about a vertical line on x?
my heart is really bleeding.
how can i get the easiest question wrong? =(
Got the babies, got the italians, got the circles. ffs</p>

<p>This is x=3:
<a href="http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT668/EMAT6680.Folders/Barron/unit/Lesson%203/image8.gif%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://jwilson.coe.uga.edu/EMT668/EMAT6680.Folders/Barron/unit/Lesson%203/image8.gif&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>And it ends up being in the IV quadrant.</p>

<p>y=3 ends up in the II quadrant.</p>

<p>I didn't get the tomatoes one either.</p>

<p>So these are not the quadrants?</p>

<p>quadrant II is top left and quadrant IV is bottom right</p>

<p>It was labeled on the paper Rangzen! :P</p>

<p>Top right is I
Top left is II
Bottom left is III
Bottom right is IV</p>

<p>Oh god.
I blame my eyes for that mistake. -_-</p>

<p>@Rangzen -> Nooooooo! :(</p>

<p>You have GOT to be kidding me...
They were given to you. O_O</p>

<p>Oh well, hang in there.
At least you only got 1 wrong.
I got like 3 wrong, I think. :(</p>

<p>I left 3 or 4 blank <em>sigh</em>!</p>

<p>I got 2 wrong, AFAIK. The italians thing and the 27V the (I put down 9V in a hurry :( ).</p>

<p>I guessed at a number line question. Narrowed it down to two choices. Hope I picked right. Did anyone else get this question?</p>

<p>ah yea
what was the answer for that question with x² , x , 1/x, 1/x² and x³? the median?</p>

<p>@timothy - I put 9V first too!!! I was like 3^3... duh NINE!!! And then I stopped and realized no no no, it's 27. I was really scared after that. I even drew a '>_<' on the booklet... lol.</p>

<p>A numberline question was it the one with 8 through 9... and then 8.25, 8.5, and 8.75... and you had to pick the one closes to 8.6? I said it was C.</p>
