<p>This thread is to compile all the questions answers that have been discussed on this forum. I will organize by sections, and also add little commentary to some of the questions on how to solve or other discussions about them. Any question with a (?) next to it means that the answer has not been confirmed by a majority.</p>
<p>Math:
Cube in sphere : 2sq.root3. Had to find diagonal of square, then the diagonal of cube, then divide by half for radius. </p>
<p>Log 5(5 13/2) : between 6 and 7. The 5s cancel out leaving 13/2 which is 6.5</p>
<p>Volume of cylinder Ans: 180pi. Radius was 6, therefore circle area was 36pi, then times 5 for volume.</p>
<p>W and Z exponent problem : 2. Only 2 solutions that summed 5 worked. 3 and 2, 2 and 3</p>
<p>Period of Sine graph: pi. Just look at the graph, don’t always assume period is 2pi</p>
<p>Distance of houses: 56/57 (not sure of exact answer). I used coordinate plan to estimate answer, but could have used distance formula.</p>
<p>Clock minute hand: 105, circumference of circle was 10pi, had to rotate 3 times to go from 2:10 to 5:30, and then an extra 1/3pi, which is 33.3pi, or 105.</p>
<p>Rocket Launchpad distance: 30 + 20sqroot3 + 20sqroot2. Used formula for 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 to find distance.</p>
<p>sin of tan -7/24 : 7/25. tan = sin/cos, and sin is pos in quad 2.</p>
<p>geometric sequence : a<em>3bc</em>4d. times a and c each time</p>
<p>Rational/Irrational : (?). I haven’t seen any majority answer this one. No one remembers that exact question and choices.</p>
<p>Ratio of intersecting lines with triangle: 1:1. It asked for ratio of line segment to segment, not the triangles</p>
<p>External angle : 130 degrees. isoceles triangle with 25 degrees each side, equals 50 total, and the external angle + 50 equaled 180 cause it was a straight line.</p>
<p>rectangle under parabola: 12x*2 - 4A(or something like that, choice A) Just had to multiply the bottom of rectangle by the formula on the right side</p>
<p>Height of building: 32. sin = 4/5, so the whole thing was a 3:4:5 triangle.</p>
<p>Workers salaries: 15000 + 2000x = 20000 + 800x. x was equal to 4 by the way, even though you didn’t have to solve it.</p>
<p>Reading:
Blues and Bach was foundation</p>
<p>The purists were snobbish</p>
<p>He played at a slower tempo</p>
<p>He tilted his head for inspiration</p>
<p>The sax player didn’t play with him</p>
<p>He asked the drummer and guitarist to accompany</p>
<p>2nd act was final (?) small dispute on this one, some say the amateur act was final, meaning the 3rd would be last, but i think i remember in the passage something about the second being the final act</p>
<p>Hattie said it was a rollecoaster</p>
<p>Detached = set apart</p>
<p>Roads became strip malls</p>
<p>Essay was persuasive</p>
<p>Snowflakes were 2 or more crystals</p>
<p>Hiking guide was condescending</p>
<p>Book as companion over years</p>
<p>Didn’t name flower she found</p>
<p>Was excited about naming the Solgadaro whatever(latin name) because it meant that she was very knowledgable about the flowers from the book</p>
<p>Book was worn from use</p>
<p>Scientists couldn’t extract pollution from snow crystals, only detect</p>
<p>Designer Snowflake: OK, this is the most disputed one i have see, where everyone has had a different answer. The 4 choices to the question “what does designer mean in this sentence?” were that no 2 flakes were alike, it showed nature’s beauty, it was created in a lab, or that the flakes were exquisite. My answer was the last choice and here is my reasoning. </p>
<p>The passage referring to designer snowflakes talked about the conditions needed to craft the snowflake. The sentence was “Under these conditions, i was able to create “designer” snowflakes in the lab”. I didn’t choose in was created in a lab, as many apparently did, because it would have made the sentence too redundant because it already said they were created in a lab. I didn’t pick natures beauty, because if it was being created then obviously it didn’t have to do with nature. 2 flakes don’t look alike, i wasn’t so sure about this one, as i don’t remember any reference to this, although since they were being created in a lab they could have been identical. I chose the exquisiteness of the flakes because the quotes around designer in the passage made me think of designer clothing, which is supposedly supposed to mean the clothes are better than normal clothing, and since the passage said that they were being crafted under specific conditions, it made me think that they would be better than flakes under normal conditions. Sorry for huge paragraph, but this was a weird question.</p>
<p>Science:
As the pencil moved farther from scale B, the weight dropped</p>
<p>Upside down scale pointed left, upright pointed right</p>
<p>Each weighed 5 newtons</p>
<p>Had to subtract weight of pencil and board to set scales to 0</p>
<p>Conduction only</p>
<p>Neither scientists views were disputed</p>
<p>halleys comet was a short comet from Oort Cloud.</p>
<p>Jupiter was the giant planet whose gravity affected comets</p>
<p>Comet size(?) i put 30+ because i believed that the passage stated that 10-30 comets weren’t visible, and only “much larger” comets could be seen. </p>
<p>Control group was L4</p>
<p>Aluminum-aluminum hydroxide</p>
<p>octane formula was iso/(iso+hep) x 100</p>
<p>Total octane was from 90-125, because in graph, the octane leveled off at 125, and i believe it said that heptane was added which would have lowered the total</p>
<p>Degree of orbit was 45 degrees, because the other choices were 30 and under, which were visible.</p>
<p>English:</p>
<p>Plane crash: phrase that started with “that” because a crash can’t deliver goods</p>
<p>Completed trip, not finalized or the other choices</p>
<p>Clemento was named MVP</p>
<p>Merchandise was it, not them, because it was singular in context</p>
<p>blazing orange sun, because the others were too synonomous with solar</p>
<p>bats are erroneous</p>
<p>his wife, vera, because it is a nonrestriced appositive, so the seconde part, vera, only modifies his wife, it is not needed.</p>
<p>bait shop specificity - the longest answer was correct, which detailed all the different items</p>
<p>split paragraph was before or after 4 because it went back to the guy, the previous sentenced discussed the organization he was with</p>
<p>it was “sit” because the items after the verb were plural</p>
<p>prudently went before called because it is an adverb</p>
<p>Climbing, not to climb, because it was something that they were doing, not going to do.</p>
<p>bats aren’t threatening</p>
<p>Those are all i have collected. If anyone has more or has corrections, please post them.</p>
