<p>Argh.. if that one wasn't 55..... I have -2 right now... factoring in a few dumb mistakes.. -3, -4... I suck... f;klasdj;</p>
<p>what do u guys think -9 is gonna be?</p>
<p>god umm judging by what people say that -4 is gonna be 34, i would say -9 is between a 27 and 29...</p>
<p>what about this question??</p>
<p>a>b, both are nonzero real numbers.</p>
<p>which of the following yields the largest sum?
a) a-2b
b) a+2b
c) a-b
d) a+b
e) b-2a</p>
<p>did i miss something in the question, or does this have an answer?? i ended up putting (B)... :/</p>
<p>just plug in numbers...
i did like a=2 and b=-2 or something...</p>
<p>i cant remember what i got, but im almost positive it was right.</p>
<p>i agree the reading section was extemely easy but i thoguh the september math section was eaiser then the april section</p>
<p>the thing is, it depends on what numbers you choose: if b is negative, then (a-2b) will be greater than (a+2b). i don't think the question specified negative or positive values, just that both a and b were nonzero.</p>
<p>this is one of the ones i am worried about...i'm signed up for the october act too so we'll see what happens!</p>
<p>but yeah, that math section was INSANE.</p>
<p>i think the answer was A.</p>
<p>if b is negative then,
positive (minus negative equals plus) + twice another positive.</p>
<p>what's the policy for missing just a few in math? Does one problem wrong still get you a 36? For a test seen as universally difficult as this one, what would missing 2 equate to?</p>
<p>I don't know too much about curves, but with a diificult test like this the curve. must be more than usuall. I was under the impression that high scores, above 30, aren't greatly impacted by the curve anyway</p>
<p>Dude math was so easy....or i probably put wrong answers on all of them...Can anyone please give me some of the hard questions on math BESIDES the ones we talked about??</p>
<p>The answer to the a, b question is a - 2b. It explicitly said that a > b and a + 2b = 0. Thus a = -2b and b must be negative (if a were negative, that means b is positive, which does not follow the first given). Therefore, to maximize b we add a -2 in front of it so our final answer is a - 2b or 2a. The answer for me was E, but for the person who posted about, its A.</p>
<p>mine didn't say anything about a + 2b = 0 (a + 2b was an answer choice though). it just said, if a > b and neither a nor b are equal to zero then which of the following results in the highest answer.</p>
<p>also your letter answers wouldn't be different. e for you = e for the other poster.</p>
<p>The answer has to be a-2b. If a was positive and b was negative, as it could be since a>b, then a-2b gives you the largest value. b-2a would give you a larger negative value or a lower positive value.</p>
<p>what was the answer to that one geometry problem..it was easy but i had a brain freeze...it had an angle that was 81 degrees and another that was 21 degrees or something. u had to find a angle on the top.</p>
<p>can someone explain me how to do the banquet problem?</p>
<p>Smarty - you had to extend lines to get interior and exterior angles and stuff....it took awhile but yeah you had to use the fact that 2 lines were parallel</p>
<p>i tried. do u remember what the answer was..i got 79 or something..</p>
<p>I think you found the wrong angle. It was looking for the top angle, and once you got 79 you had to solve for the other angle.</p>
<p>I got 79 too</p>
