<p>Discuss May 2012 Math Questions here</p>
<p>I thought I had them all but am worried about the one that was</p>
<p>6j-1=ksquared.
The choices were 1/6, -1/6, 0, Some other random one, and Not Enough Information.</p>
<p>Since 0 is an integer than the answer would be 1/6. However, some people said that it was the square root of k, making it NEI. WHat was it?</p>
<p>@bluedevils
Pretty sure it was 1/6.</p>
<p>I as well said 1/6, and bluedevils do you happen to go to Lewiston high school? (only reason I ask is that I’m from brunswick, and I know that blue devils are your mascot)</p>
<p>I got 0 because if you make k=1, k^2 also =1 and then you subract the one and you get 6j=0 so j=0</p>
<p>for the question referring to the median of the kids with the oldest kid being 20 and asked which could be the number of 17 year olds in the choices I, II, III… I only did I because i think i read it wrong because everyone is saying diff things… what did u guys get</p>
<p>@chlloe
You had to add one</p>
<p>@kayak
All three were possible</p>
<p>^^It could be 0 though so it was 1/6</p>
<p>@cchlloe
the equation was 6j = k^2 + 1 if I remember correctly, so it couldn’t have been 0</p>
<p>I also got 1/6.</p>
<p>sqrt u^2=4</p>
<p>I got 4.</p>
<p>Line of children, oldest=20, median=17, how many 17 yr olds could there be</p>
<p>I got I, II, III</p>
<p>x^y=4096, largest value for x-y</p>
<p>I got 4095</p>
<p>Light365–that’s exactly how I remember the equation also.</p>
<p>I probably did it wrong then but I remember it being 6j+1=k^2</p>
<p>For the one where it asked what is the fraction that uses the internet at least monthly was it </p>
<p>4/5
or 2/5</p>
<p>I put the former because it said at least, but I was unsure.</p>
<p>uhhh I didn’t simplify 8/10 to 4/5 is it wrong?</p>
<p>@drac313
I think it was 80%.</p>
<p>It was 4/5 since I think they were asking for the fraction that DO use it monthly. Why was this second to last???</p>
<p>rectangle inside the hexagon question I got 4 sqrt 3</p>
<p>Perimeter of rectangle missing a corner was 34 (3, 4, 5 triangle)</p>
<p>Increase of area for tripling a circle’s radius -> 800%</p>
<p>@drac313
I said 4/5</p>
<p>^yes I got 4/5</p>
<p>What was the answer to the question that had a rectangle inscribed in a hexagon with side length 2?</p>
<p>What about the problem with a kid in a line being counted twice, answers were something like ‘50 and 25’. I chose that one but am now thinking that I was wrong</p>
