<p>i think (85% sure) that was one of the choices...CB does that...i remember seeing it and i was like...ahha! a trap! lol...</p>

<p>afroninj4 and no1mtsfn...u guys might hv mistyped...but i think the answer was 2:3 not 3:2 cuz i made made sure that the ratios matched to the arcs they gave...can sum one else verify this? cc is making me paranoid lol</p>

<p>i was 1 question (the last in a math group) and i just added the 2 numbers in the problem to get an answer i thought was correct. im 95% sure that it was a trap since it was the last question</p>

<p>it was 2:3
there was no 3:2 possible answer choice</p>

<p>It was 2:3
yepyeppp</p>

<p>k good...cause i was getting confused</p>

<p>ok sorry. i saw someone else mention it so i assumed there were both choices. so then its settled that it was 2:3?</p>

<p>3:2 was a choice, but the correct choice was 2:3.</p>

<p>what was the answer to diagonal question with 8 sided figure. was it asking for the # of diagonals or number of triangles.</p>

<p>Number of triangles, and I think the answer was 6.</p>

<p>i think triangles. 6.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>anybody remembers something like
f(x)=2x+1, g(x)=f(x+2), find g(2)?</p></li>
<li><p>how long was the segment in three tangent circles with their centers on that segment?</p></li>
<li><p>i have not noticed anybody mention external angles' sum question (two internal angles are given, but you don't need them).<br>
was it in an experimental?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>1.exp
2.exp
3.exp</p>

<p>no the 3rd one wasn't experimental the answer was 360</p>

<p>nevermind 1.
i found <a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=4091854#post4091854%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?p=4091854#post4091854&lt;/a>
man, this thread is looooong!</p>

<p>ptang-how so? i don't remember getting a 360</p>

<p>was it an MC or grid in?</p>

<p>can some1 please explain why it is 6 and not 8?</p>

<p>for the triangle question?</p>

<p>tjs- draw an octagon, and connect the lines (pick a point, and then draw lines to each of the vertex)</p>

<p>you'll draw 5 lines and end up with 6 triangles</p>

<p>nice. everyone was saying the answer to the aa ab ac ets pairs was 6 but i remember there being two pairs of aa so i got 7. im kinda freaking out about this. anyone else get 7? also i took it internationally any chance the problem mighta been slightly different?</p>
