Didnt you have to find the length of the line, not the area?

AimingForA1200

Yeah but they make him about to be so harsh throughout the passage, I was stuck between indifferent teacher and sharp critic

Reckie

@AimingForA1200 were you talking about my questions?

_____
What were the answer to the circle question where the little circle was how many times smaller than the bigger one?

And what was the answer to the question that had a picture of a line and it asked how many times it hit the X axis?

Also, what was the answer to the picture one that had a spiral and asked for the answer in pie?(LOL)

AND was one of the answers 30%? The choices were like 30%-40%-50%-60% and 250%(HAHA)

guys... I was just thinking about the p* question, and I'm pretty sure (unfortunately) now that the answer was more than 3.

the question defined 45* as 5+3 = 8, which means that you only consider each factor once. Therefore, 10 (2+5), 100 (2+5), 1000 (2+5), etc. should all work

SoundOfSilence

unless... did the problem ask "for what prime number(s) p"?

Reckie

SoundOfSilence do you remember any of the questions I asked? I'm freaking out hereee.

SoundOfSilence

I don't remember the first and last, but 2 and 3 on your list were 1 and 10pi, respectively. do you remember whether the p* one was asking for prime numbers only?

aimforthesky

P* one asked for prime numbers only

by the way guys, look what I found! (might not all be correct, but worth looking at I suppose):

@soundofsilence Im sorry, I dont remember what I put! :/ Hopefully someone else will.

@Reckie
the area was 16x smaller (1:16 ratio i think)
hit x axis once
10pi
i dont remember, what was the question?

Johnbryce

Also what did you get for the question about the price of the volleyballs? i beleive there was a typo. The question was something like how much greater is the price of buying one volleyball at a time than buying one volleyball at a time. I was totally confused so I put $0. What did everybody else put? Did I read the problem wrong?

theuntruth

oh an I asked my calc teacher about hte prime question, and its DEFINITELY 0.
I said 3+ D:

SoundOfSilence

Johnbryce: I'm pretty sure I put $56, and was rather confident about my answer for that one.

theuntruth

The volleyball question was asking how much more it costs to buy 24 volleyballs than 25 volleyballs. Since there was a 20% discount for buying 25 vs a 10% discount for buying 24 at $35 each, it came out to be $56 more (i think). It may have been 54 lol I dont remember

and @soundofsilence that link is awesome!!
EDIT: Wait why is it from March? Was it an experimental section then too? So confused....
EDIT: WAIT DOES THIS MEAN THAT IT WAS EXPERIMENTAL?

SoundOfSilence

also, can anyone verify/contest the list of answers from the link above? I want to know whether any of them are wrong...
