Official October ACT Math Thread

<p>Eh can someone explain the midpoint one? I thought it was 15 cause rectangle had a width of 15. When you reflect it across, it’s the same as the height, isn’t it?</p>

<p>I got that 26^5(10) one wrong! And the coordinate one! This sucks… darn. </p>

<p>How many can you usually get wrong and still get a 34? 33? 32? etc.</p>

<p>right! but it asked for the distance from the intersection of the two lines to the segment AC, which was half the height, or 7.5</p>

<p>^gud
I got two q wrong</p>

<p>what letter choice what the csc one?</p>

<p>^ 5/2
10 chars</p>

<p>did you guys put E for the graph about A and B and pressure?</p>

<p>^ don’t remember
Do you think there gonna be a good curve? (since it’s like oct)</p>

<p>that was in science and i put the one graph goin down? or is that another problem</p>

<p>oh yeah, did you put curve or straight line?</p>

<p>Below: cuz it’s like a last miunte thing fur all the seniors. Lotsa dumb people take it too.</p>

<p>Just curious, why does an October test date call for a good curve?</p>

<p>hey, the pressure one was definitely E, the last choice.</p>

<p>ftm no generally the march one is the easiest in the sat so iim guessin the same also for the act</p>

<p>This math section seemed harder for me… The rest of the sections were easy. </p>

<p>I wrote x-|x| is always 0 what was I thinking?? That and I left one blank and forgot to guess… bleh</p>

<p>yeah, but alotta peopel apply ED</p>

<p>cgb i put 0 for that one too :(</p>

<p>the general consensus for that one is "never positive:</p>

<p>x = 2.</p>

<p>therefore, 2- 2 = 0. not positive.</p>

<p>let’s take another value: x= -4.</p>

<p>so -4 - 4 = - 8.</p>

<p>and 1, just to be safe:</p>

<p>1-1= 0. Therefore, we can assume that if x equals a positive number, the result is zero. If x is a negative number, we get another negative number. Thus, the equation can never result in an answer being positive.</p>

<p>Dangit, I missed the reflection one…Can anyone explain/draw it out for me?</p>

<p>Also, the sin x= 0, and cos x= 0, and sin x> 1/2 cos x…was it tan x>2? I just rearranged everything but I’m not sure if that’s it due to the limitations.</p>

<p>does anyone remmeber the ACTUAL letter choice for the answer 5/2 :(</p>

<p>crap i got the tent one wrong, only wrong one so far</p>

<p>sinx<1/2cosx= </p>

<p>tanx< 1/2</p>
