Tony used to be the top SAT tutor in America. He doesn't care about the SAT anymore, but he can't stop teaching - so he'll teach you whatever he feels like, whenever he feels like it.
It takes 20 sec to guess While it's just 2 sec to solve

I actually noticed this quirk of SAT math questions. (a few years ago) And when I ran through a practice using this method, I got 22% correct 😐

a × a × a = a + a + a a³ = 3a a³ - 3a = 0 Factor "a" out a(a² - 3) = 0 Rewrite 3 as (√3)² a(a² - √3²) = 0 Difference of squares a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b) a(a - √3)(a + √3) = 0 So, a = 0 a - √3 = 0 →a = √3 a + √3 = 0 → a = -√3

a * a * a = a + a + a a³=3a a³-3a = 0 [got a bit confused here] a(a²-3) = 0 Either a = 0 or a² - 3 = 0 a² = 3 a = √3 or a = -√3 So, either a = 0, a = √3 or a = -√3. Plotting x(x²-3)=y [taking a = x] on the graph has 3 points intersect on the x-axis, thus, showing that there are three zeroes, as I equated the expression to zero. From the options, a=√3. (Rate my solution, I am a nerd :3)

This is a cubic equation that can be factorised to make a(a^2-3) =0 a=0 And tge tge quadratic and be solved by adding 3 and square rooting to make plus or minus sqrt of 3 and 0, there are 3 roots to this cubic

Yeah unfortunately this only works in America where most tests are multiple choice. You can't guess between multiple options if there are none.

a.a.a = a+a+a a.a² = 3a (a.a²)/a = (3a)/a a² = 3 a = ±√3 Other answer could be 0, I technically shouldn't divide by a because of that, but since it's not on the alternatives, I think it's ok . And -√3 is not in the alternatives, so it's ok too, only is left the √3
@Rizz-hr4qh26 күн бұрын
For those who want to know how to actually do it: a x a x a = a +a + a, so a^3 = 3a a^3 - 3a = 0 a (a^2 - 3) = 0: this means that either a is 0 or a^2 - 3 is 0. Since 0 isn’t one of the options, a^2 - 3 = 0 a^2 = 3 a = +- sqrt 3 so the answer is B because there is no negative option.
