Math for March SAT 2009

<p>yea that was x btwn 41 and 49 p was not asked for</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>They question asked for P. :x </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s correct.</p>

<p>are we talking about the 2p and 3p question where 2p < x < 3p? that asked for x</p>

<p>Also, the 2p<x<3p question, I got 35. Yes or no?</p>

<p>Was the prism and hexagon experimental?</p>

<p>no it wasn’t.</p>

<p>And yeah, I’m certain they asked for x for that question.</p>

<p>so now i’m confused - did they ask for x or p, and which of the 2 was 41-49?</p>

<p>I thought they asked for x, and I picked 46 as my answer</p>

<p>they asked for x and it was between 41-49</p>

<p>Alright, alright. I am getting confused with p and x. </p>

<p>I put the one there was just one of.</p>

<p>prism and hexagon question: the answer was the one with 2 white panels in a row?</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes. When you draw it, it is: White, Shade, White, Shade, Shade, Shade.</p>

<p>White, White, Shade is not possible.</p>

<p>Ro, i got the one with 2 whites in a row also</p>

<p>Anyone get 1/y2 for like the last MC in a fill in section? Or was it exper</p>

<p>Connor, most likely experimental.</p>

<p>i got 40/3 but doing the math again 30/50 and 1/3 produces 9/16 fraction which isnt 3/4</p>

<p>the citrus i didnt get 15 becuase the lower one was little higher so i got ten. I first tried 8250-7250/8250 which equal .121212 so i though id go lower</p>

<p>Okay I have one question, can anyone answer it.
For the last grid-in, with f(ab) and such HOW did you know that a=4 and b=4. They never said anything about a and b. A could easily have been 8 and b, 2, or even 16 and 1. I don’t understand this question; I think it was set up horribly. It makes no sense whatsoever.</p>

<p>in a sense, ive heard of two cases, once they had a gramatical error in the writing section where they gave everybody a point, but only once a math question was thrown out because some ******* smart kid found a way to prove that one answer wasnt wrong. So the college board is very meticulous to make sure their question while annoying are solvable.</p>

<p>because the only way to solve it is if a=4 and b=4</p>
