<p>A. I do not understand why there is even a debate. Interior means INSIDE. As in not on the line!</p>
<p>I put A. I didn’t realize people would have thought this to be so tricky.</p>
<p>I put B.</p>
<p>Y=4 is a line, not an asymptote. When a function is bounded, it DOES include its bounds. Think of the sine function, it does hit 1.</p>
<p>However, despite my own reasoning, I think the answer was, in fact, A. This is a very ambiguous question, or at the very least, duplicitous–even for SAT standards. I think it will result in a very nice math scale (i.e. -1 is still an 800).</p>
<p>to the person who asked if -1 would be 800:</p>
<p>i took the SAT the last 2 of 3 times and a friend of mien took it in May (the only time i didnt)
and the first time i missed 1 and got a 780, 2nd time i missed 3 and got a 710 (and theres no way that the -1 curve existed for taht one or it would mean that -2 meant -90 pts) and my friend missed 3 on his and he got a 720 i think</p>
<p>B</p>
<p>…now I think I got it wrong… shoot</p>
<p>i say A, and being in ap calc bc in addition to being one of the biggest math nerds in existence, im FAIRLY confident of the answer.</p>
<p>i dont think a -1 can be an 800, ive had -1 once and got 790 and thats probably the best curve u’ll get.</p>
<p>I vote B…</p>
<p>I put B too. </p>
<p>Now I think it’s A though. hm CB should throw this question out; it’s ‘controversial’.</p>
<p>But I still VOTE B!</p>
<p>Does anyone know how often College Board throws questions out?</p>
<p>I know for AP tests they do, because for AP PSYCH we took a practice test from 1997 or something and there was an asteric next to one queston that said CB threw out that question from grading cos it was controversial and evidence was found that two answers could’ve worked. </p>
<p>Hopefully its the same for SAT.</p>
<p>I had A…but i changed it to B
I read it as interior mean it was not including the lines</p>
<p>the answer is A. even if u didn’t know whether II was correct or not, by Process of elimination you could deduce that the answer was Vote A</p>
<p>From analysis, the interior of a set is the set minus its boundary points (i.e., the line, in this case). If that clears up anything.</p>
<p>I thought inside meant it could be on the line =(</p>
<p>so, how do we convince the college board to deem the question controversial?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Exceptionally little.</p>
<p>This problem seems really familiar to calculus ones (with subtracting integrals). Did anyone use calculus to solve it?</p>
<p>^^^no, i used algebra 1 =/</p>
<p>The wording was “interior.” </p>
<p>So, if we’re talking about the interior of the shaded region, then the ONLY other region on that coordinate plain is the exterior of the shaded region. I think we can agree that the line was not on the exterior of the region, so, therefore, it’s on the interior.</p>
<p>Another way to think about it:</p>
<p>If a square was drawn on the coordinate plain with vertices at (0,0) (0, 2) (2, 0) and (2,2), and you were asked to solve for the area. Would you count the borders of the square in the area? Or would you subtract the “area” of the lines from 4, the area of the square. LINES HAVE NO WIDTH, therefore there is nothing to subtract, therefore the point (2,4) was included in the shaded region.</p>
<p>I still think CB had the correct answer as II and III, but hopefully the question will get thrown out.</p>
<p>What do they do when they throw out a question? Do they just recalibrate the scale for a raw score of 53?</p>
<p>idk what i put i think i put a though.</p>
<p>i just remember one was y> x2 and i know it was definitely wrong.</p>
