Official May Sat Math Discussion

<p>what was ther answer to the question that was like </p>

<p>there are 3 different points: A, B, C</p>

<p>and then asked which of the following could not be true?</p>

<p>I think I put AB + BC = AC</p>

<p>or something like that?</p>

<p>just a randomn question.....1 wrong is 780 right? 2 = 760, 3 = 750, 4 = 740....anyone think this year we'll hv a lil curve? like get one wrong and still get 800? just a thought</p>

<p>The one with the six points and how many lines... can someone explain to me how to get the answer? I had 30 (6x5) but others are saying it's 15, so I'm a tad confused.</p>

<p>And tunit: I'm fairly certain -1 is still 800. Though with math the curve is usually pretty brutal.</p>

<p>Did section 2 contain the one with the circle(shaded region) or section 3?
Which one was the experimental one?</p>

<p>basically...for ur question....i drew a hexagon...and connected all the dots....and counted the separate lines....lol...</p>

<p>and for the question with the inverse and direct stuff....is the answer verified to be E. (y^2)? thanks!</p>

<p>meh_du - circle one was not experimental
caroline - i think yours must have been experimental
likeatuesday - it was 5+4+3+2+1=15</p>

<p>yeah it's pretty much verified to be y^2
i'm not sure but that's what everyone's gotten. assuming plugging 1/y in for x was the right thing to do...</p>

<p>guys...seriously..why is it 90 and not 130</p>

<p>wait elliot
are u saying the ribbon was 100 hundred
cause i thought it was
because u add up all the original black side lengths, and then divide 80 by it,
then that is ur coefficient to multiply the new Black side length (with the cuts)
but
if u pay attention
the total sides that were machine numbered (the sat numbered them for you)
it would have been like 3,1,1,3,1,1,3,1,1
but, next to the last triangle was an unlabeled darkened part that measured 3 inches, so
that makes the original uncut piece 15 instead of 12
80/15=5 and 1/3
pt.2 is 18x5 and 1/3= 96</p>

<p>circle one was not experimental. Then was it section 2 or 3 for those that had 2,3 math</p>

<p>ok so you have one angle is 40
the bordering line is a bisector of another angle (the other half of this angle is 2/3 of the angle you're looking for, so keep that in mind), so that's 40 as well
those two angles together are bordering the bisector that divides the entire thing, so the other 2 add up to 80. 80-30=50, the remaining angle. add 50 to the 40 you got before and...90</p>

<hr>

<p>BIGTWIX - the length of the ribbon was 80, and the segments were 4 cm long, so it was evenly divisible, you wouldnt have any **** hanging out or anything
basically you should have just stuck to 4 cm long segments instead of making that whole long thing a segment</p>

<p>hey guys i posted a list with all the math answers we posted here, so before you ask for an answer check there.</p>

<p>myself and a lot of others have said that it is 100 on the board, and i don't remember it beeing 3,1,1,3, i think it was 3,1,3,1</p>

<p>I got a 100. 80 inch/4 = 20 , each tri adds 1 inch, so 5x20=100</p>

<p>lmao ok you guys your gonna laugh when u read what i did:</p>

<p>I must have been on crack cuz i saw it and was like oooooooo so they cut off and inch every 4 inches. so its only 3/4 as long. (3/4) X 80 = 60. So it's 60 inches long. </p>

<p>Basically i suck lol.</p>

<p>dammit
i over thought it</p>

<p>ohh well
at least it doesnt take .25 from me</p>

<p>Consolidation is up</p>

<p>what was the comic book grid in- I don't seem to remember it</p>

<p>what was the venn</p>

<p>the venn was 7, I don't remember the comic book one</p>
