SAT: Subject Test Mathematics Level 2 Post-Test Discussion Thread

<p>^ me too</p>

<p>10char</p>

<p>i am pretty sure we are talking about 2 completely different questions. The one with two functions that have 2 distinct real zeros could be 2,3, or 4 zeros. The roman numeral one is only III i am pretty sure.</p>

<p>someone make a compiled list!</p>

<p>It wasn’t that bad. I omitted one and was unsure on a few, but if I didn’t make many stupid mistakes I can expect a good score :)</p>

<p>Ok so I think I got that roman numeral one wrong…still hoping for an 800 though!</p>

<p>Does anyone have a definite answer for the height of the smaller cone with 1/2 the volume of larger</p>

<p>i thought it was 14.29</p>

<p>Ugh, i omitted eight and know i missed 2 for sure. Are my hopes of getting a 780 completely shattered?</p>

<p>I had 14.something. And since only one answer was in the 14s, I agree with rd2012</p>

<p>Alright, can someone explain that please… I couldn’t seem to get it</p>

<p>the height of the cone was definetely 9 because the radius didnt change</p>

<p>so say i got like 5 wrong what would i get</p>

<p>The height of the cone was 14ish. And the radius did change…</p>

<p>the problem said the cone was cut parallel to the base…so that wouldnt change the radius</p>

<p>@WannabeActuary
It said it cut the top off parallel to the base. Thus, the base was the same.</p>

<p>for the 78.8 one the standard deviation doesnt have to change right. because you can remove a number that is 16.2 lower and that wouldnt change the standard deviation then right?</p>

<p>Will 44 or 43/50 be an 800 this time?</p>

<p>If you cut parallel to the base, then the radius automatically decreases. At the base, the radius is the greatest and decreases as you get up the cone, thus anywhere you cut the cone parallel to the base, as long as its above the base, will decrease the radius. No?</p>

<p>so how do u do the cone one and wat was the anwer</p>

<p>no…
im pretty sure the radius is measured at the base</p>
