the official "what was the answer to..." thread for the october 6 SAT

<p>periwinklekitten, i put your answer too.
the function one was 2. because f(2)=0=f(4)</p>

<p>for another CR question, there was one about the tone in the passage from a phyicist ranting about how science if impersonal. choices are</p>

<p>A. Self-Congratulatory
B. ?
C. Restrained
D. Irate
E. Nostalgic</p>

<p>i put D, but i think its C =(</p>

<p>it wasn’t irate</p>

<p>it may have been restrained OR (B)</p>

<p>i know he was angry that science was impersonal, but then he was o.k. with it because scientists compensate for the impersonal nature by talking at conferences n stuff</p>

<p>i put B but i can’t remember what word was by B</p>

<p>^^wi****l was the anwser (B) I put</p>

<p>“oblivious to their surroundings” yep the sailors were too worried about surviving to notice the aesthetically (sp I know) sea</p>

<p>yo .. for the 5/6 swimmers and 1/3 hikers question it was 40 right? i think i may have put 120.. there goes my 800</p>

<p>ya it was 40. i almost put 80</p>

<p>Yeeeah I put that answer too. The imminent doom didn’t make sense because I thought they were anchoring? And the last sentence of the passage was something along the lines of “they only realized the sun rose because of the colour of the waves” or something.</p>

<p>And I don’t think that was experimental because I had that question and 4 math sections…</p>

<p>it wasn’t. the question where they one answer was paralyzed because of their imminent doom? It was that because throughout the whole passage, it talked about how powerful the sea was. They were on a raft or something, their boat had just sunk</p>

<p>What about the question about a point on plane m, how many circles could you form?</p>

<p>The rectange one in the fill in section where verticies were on x and y intercepts…</p>

<p>i didn’t get the q about the plane and circles on either…it made no sense to me</p>

<p>what was the rectangle q?</p>

<p>I am so furious right now. The matrix one, i panicked and blew. The triangle one i figured out at the last second but didn’t have time to write my answer down, and the effing rectangle one i didn’t realize was over the line -z, i thought it was a reflection over the y axis. aslmdbasljkd</p>

<p>Can anyone say more definitively if the triangle one was E? Also, if i miss a question do you think the curve might be friendly enough to give me an 800. YAY!</p>

<p>For the circle - I put that there could be only one circle, since the circumference is dependent on the radius. But when I am recalling it now, I can’t remember whether it asked how many circles (that would be E - infinite) or how many different radii (that could only be one). </p>

<p>For the triangle - you had to figure out the size of the last angle and then think of a line perpendicular to MQ (the one which size you had to figure out), which would split the largest angle to 45° and 60°, leaving you with 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 triangles, from which you could figure out the length.</p>

<p>Too bad I came up with this today…</p>

<p>The sailor one was not experimenteal because I did it and I only had 9 sections total.</p>

<p>What would skipping 6-8 and a few wrong on the math look like?</p>

<p>ok for the math one. was it (8-x) (5+x) =0 or <0?</p>

<p>And that one question about the object flipped over the x axis, it would still have 2 y points equal right? Since it touched the x axis twice</p>

<p>I am sure the sailor section was not experimental. I had two 35-question writing sections. Do you how they decide on which to delete?</p>

<p>I quite panicked at that question. Actually, it was < 0. I put C I think, however I don’t recall exactly.</p>

<p>i hate the sat. damnit that would have been so easy if i had read the question more closely err</p>

<p>hah, only after I come back to CC do I realize how many questions I totally guessed on. Crap.</p>

<p>i agree… if you get, say, five math questions wrong, what score would you get?</p>
