<p>if y is inversely related to x than 1/x^2 is directly related to:</p>

<p>1/y, y, y^2, 1/y^2</p>

<p>AND</p>

<p>what is the sum of the first 50 terms of the sequence 1/(2<em>3), 1/(3</em>4),
1/(4*5), . . .</p>

<p>i remember two choices were 50/51 and one was 49/50, i put 50/51</p>

<p>i think that these must be from an experiemntal section because i got the firetruck one and the one where jn=9 and the answer was 0. and i also got the triangle that was 70/3</p>

<p>Lakshya M: can you explain how you got y^2? i’m not too keen on the inverse/direct related lingo.</p>

982

<p>OK I sort of guessed on this Answer but I’m not sure if I was right or not</p>

<p>It was a TRiangle with a Line through it. so it was sort of like a triangle with a triangle inside of it and the base of the little triangle was four. WHAT WAS the base of the Larger Triangle. </p>

<p>was it 6 or 8 . Do you know what I am talking about???</p>

983

<p>smurf, did you use 3 examples, or just like 1 or 2 general examples?</p>

984

<p>smurf, how long was your friend’s essay? Did he have an intro, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion?</p>

985

<p>see, although i was alittle general for the first poin, i did use specific examples for my other 2 points, i had a full 5 body paragraph essay, so maybe i can still get like a 10 or something</p>

986

<p>How bad is it going to hurt my writing score if i didn’t finish the essay… :-/</p>

987

<p>my friends essay was 1.5 pages. had intro body and conclusion.
my essay, on the other hand, was just all general examples…split up randomly into 3 body paragraphs.</p>

988

<p>supposedly, they are not to penalize if there is no conclusion…
each paragraph needs to talk about one example…and one example only (it seems like that works best)</p>

989

<p>and u still got an 8, impressive,I hope they’re just as lenient on teh grading of essays this time too.</p>

<p>This is what it kind of looked like. </p>

<p>the smaller line was 4 what was the larger line?? and the middle line divided the triange.</p>

991

<p>I had 4 CR sections but nothing about Nixon? Did that happen to anyone? Ahhhh! I really want to know which one was experimental for CR…</p>

992

<p>smurf816, i wrote about ‘yellow journalism’ and globalisation (4 paragraphs only) - i tried to relate them with the privacy violation - do u think my score will fall down???</p>

993

<p>I didn’t have an experimental section- just 9 sections. So, Nixon is experimental. Math- with many logs is experimental as well. Writing- the section WITHOUT the Empire State Building structures, the short essay about the bango lesson, and the meals prepared by the Indian tribes is experimental</p>

994

<p>green-apple, the same thing happened to me. I have a feeling the double passage about the origins of humans in America was the experimental section.</p>

995

<p>In the superstring theory passage, what was the answer to the italics question?</p>

996

<p>For the fire truck question, the m-distance was 4.5, right?</p>

997

<p>did the italics question say ‘cannot be right’?</p>

998

<p>1000th post!</p>

<p>damn! you took it</p>

999

<p>Yeah I know what you’re talking about.
They gave you an isosceles triangle within a larger isosceles triangle.
The base of the smaller triangle bisected the equal sides of the larger triangle.
So for the smaller triangle, the base is 4, and the equal sides are each x.
For the larger one, the two equal sides are 2x (because it’s bisected) and the base is (I set it up as) y.</p>

<p>Set up a proportion:</p>

<p>x/4 = 2x/y</p>

<p>y/x=8x
y=8</p>

<p>Okay, it’s confusing to explain but I’m like 90% sure it is 8.</p>

1000

<p>YEAH BABY, I hope your right because that is what I guessed.</p>

<p>I actually did that Question after time was up. So Technically I cheated on my SAT. That question was in the 20 minute math section at the end of the test and It only took me like 7 minutes to do the last sentence thing. SINCE I was in the back of the classroom I sort of went back and GUESSED on about 4 math questions. and I’m fairly confident I got at least 2 of those. Did anyone else quickly go back and fill in answers.</p>
