Official October SAT Math Discussion

<p>9/22 was the correct answer to the colored candies problem.</p>

<p>@eaglesk You definitely went wrong with f(6)/6 :/</p>

<p>So I’ve concluded that the answer for the markers and rest stops hiking problem has to be either 2:1 or 8:3.</p>

<p>I’m not saying that anyone’s wrong or anything, but it all depends on if we interpreted (or in this case, read) the question correctly.</p>

<p>It’s 2:1, I double checked.</p>

<p>what did people get on that question about average less than 4?</p>

<p>it was like the average of 2, 3, x is less than 4
what could be the average of 3, 5, x???</p>

<p>2:1. 100% sure. I’m terrible at math and even I got that one.</p>

<p>i also didn’t recall the problem mentioning there was a rest stop in the beginning. can someone verify this? sigh, perhaps i read the question too quickly…
last time i only missed one too. a stupid one. and it brought me right down to a 780…</p>

<p>hey guys do u remember anything with absolute value as the answer it was like absolute value and 15. i chose the answer with absolute value of w(only)+225 but i was stuck cos there was also absolute value of w+225 is greater than or something of 15. i forgot. but hopefully it was experimental?..</p>

<p>and pashypasy, i actually looked back when the procter called time and started the next section TO make sure i read the quesion correctly and yes, it did say a rest stop at the beginning.;o</p>

<p>For the absolute value one, I believe I got |w-500| is less than or equal to 15.</p>

<p>Can anyone explain the one that was like:</p>

<p>3^x=k
3^2x+1=? </p>

<p>where the answer had to be in terms of k?</p>

<p>i think my experimental section was math. i believe the experimental section was section 3 one with the *21. am i right?</p>

<p>*21? Man was I oblivious…</p>

<p>@rw2013</p>

<p>3^(2x+1)
= 3^(2x)<em>3^1
= (3^x)^2</em>3
= 3k^2</p>

<p>well i guess you didnt have math for experimental section</p>

<p>ah shoot, missed that one :frowning: thank you though @asdf1253!</p>

<p>I think I did, though because I had 4 Math sections. I wish I knew which one it was.</p>

<p>oh and one with the 9/22 thingy. i got the answer but i changed it to decimal 40.9. is this ok?</p>

<p>i dun understand whats the difference though…i was stuck between those 2 absolute values and i changed my answer…god i guess that 800 is gone ;o</p>

<p>40.8? The decimal is .409</p>
