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

<p>it was not on experimental.
what did you get?</p>

<p>darn. i left it blank - had no idea. so i take it that Section 2 was experimental, assuming order doesn’t change from test to test?</p>

<p>Order does change.</p>

<p>What the hell was the answer to the circles question, it simply made no sense to me..I was staring at it for like 2 mins..what was the answer to the F(a)=f(2a) ?
These were the two questions i omitted i think.</p>

<p>Wasn’t the answers to the sailors question something to do with Doom ?
If your sitting in an swamp full of leeches, would be oblivious to the leeches ?
I think it was the fear that paralyzed them or something.


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

<p>Wasn’t it D ?</p>

<p>wat was the answer to the one completing the sentence question about european nations. i know i had it narrowed down to resilient and propitious</p>

<p>to EMAADS, they were oblivious to their surroundings because they were trying to survive the storm, so they never really had the opportunity to enjoy the sights… they weren’t paralyzed by fear because they continued to follow the captain’s orders, even though they were terrified.
for the european nations one, it was resilient… propitious means something along the lines of good conditions, and it was talking about how the country didn’t break under pressure.</p>

<p>emaads, i agree with :slight_smile: -> i thought that the sailors were being described in that paragraph AFTER all the storms had happened and they were watching the sunrise, BUT they didn’t appreciate or even look at the sunrise- they were only concerned about how it affected the waves- therefore, they were oblivious to some aspects of their surroundings (i think that was how the answer was worded - oblivious to SOME things) </p>

<p>also, the f(a)=f(2a) means f(something) = f(2 x something). the answer was 2 i think, because f(2) was -1 or something like that and f(4) was the same answer. these are probably the wrong values, but you get the idea. you had to have looked at the graph.</p>

<p>yeah i put resilient for that european nations one.</p>

<p>The circle question didn’t make sense to me either. I think I just put down one…-.-… It was number 5/18. It shouldn’t be that hard.</p>

<p>i put one, too… i’ve heard it was infinite, though, so now i’m kicking myself.</p>

<p>actually im becoming more and more convinced that the answer was 1. i think the question was like theres a circle tangent to x-axis and y-axis with center P. how many circles with center P have the same circumference? i think the question was so stupidly easy that it was hard. </p>

<p>anyone remember more of the circle question?</p>

<p>EMAADS… i feel ur pain :frowning: i am SO ANGRY i got that <0 question wrong. I also got the pie question wrong i hate myself! argggggggh i can’t believe i screwed up my math so bad. we talking about how many circles in a plane? it was 1</p>

<p>what is the <0 question? I don’t remember anything about it.</p>

<p>You can PM me or something… please.</p>

<p>did anyone get “accusations” as one the the answers to the CR?</p>

<p>yah it is accusations</p>

<p>i put accusations too… for the circle one, someone told me it was 360, which kind of makes sense.</p>

<p>I THINK (haha, no guarantees) that the circle question was one. To me, if it has a specific point (P) that the center is on, and the circumference was 6pi (dependent on radius) then, ya, you could make an infinite amount of circles, but wouldn’t they all be traced over the first circle you made? A circle is equidistant at all points around the center, so you couldn’t increase the amount of circles.</p>

<p>I hope that makes sense to someone other than me :)</p>

<p>I don’t see how 360 makes sense; enlighten me (please)</p>

<p>360 does not make sense to me either. I put one (I think it was the choice B), since I keep recalling it asked for how many different circles can one create. But from my observations, the CB quite often puts questions with “infinite” as correct answers.</p>

<p>somehow, I doubt they count that there could be an infinite amount of circles stacked on top of each other.</p>

<p>okay, i’m not sure if i can explain the 360, since it didn’t make total sense to begin with… so you have point p on plane k, and the first circle has center p. when you rotate the circle one degree, it’s supposed to be a different circle, i guess, and you can rotate it 359 times, making 360 circles… ? i dunno. one still makes more sense to me, too, but i guess 360 is possible.</p>

<p>anyone recalls the <0 question and the pie question? I’m so nervous!!!>"<</p>

<p>For the pie question, I put 99 people in there. And I got 66, 22, and 11. So my graph will look like that… I think I picked E.</p>
