You’ve studied and now you’re geared up for the ACT math section (whoo!). But are you ready to take on the most challenging math questions the ACT has to offer? Do you want to know exactly why these questions are so hard and how best to go about solving them? If you’ve got your heart set on that perfect score (or you’re just really curious to see what the most difficult questions will be), then this is the guide for you.

We’ve put together what we believe to be the most 21 most difficult questions the ACT has given to students in the past 10 years, with strategies and answer explanations for each. These are all real ACT math questions, so understanding and studying them is one of the best ways to improve your current ACT score and knock it out of the park on test day.

Brief Overview of the ACT Math Section

Like all topic sections on the ACT, the ACT math section is one complete section that you will take all at once. It will always be the second section on the test and you will have 60 minutes to completed 60 questions.

The ACT arranges its questions in order of ascending difficulty. As a general rule of thumb, questions 1-20 will be considered “easy,” questions 21-40 will be considered “medium-difficulty,” and questions 41-60 will be considered “difficult.”

The way the ACT classifies “easy” and “difficult” is by how long it takes the average student to solve a problem as well as the percentage of students who answer the question correctly. The faster and more accurately the average student solves a problem, the “easier” it is. The longer it takes to solve a problem and the fewer people who answer it correctly, the more “difficult” the problem.

(Note: we put the words “easy” and “difficult” in quotes for a reason—everyone has different areas of math strength and weakness, so not everyone will consider an “easy” question easy or a “difficult” question difficult. These categories are averaged across many students for a reason and not every student will fit into this exact mold.)

All that being said, with very few exceptions, the most difficult ACT math problems will be clustered in the far end of the test. Besides just their placement on the test, these questions share a few other commonalities. We'll take a look at example questions and how to solve them and at what these types of questions have in common, in just a moment.

But First: Should You Be Focusing on the Hardest Math Questions Right Now?

If you’re just getting started in your study prep, definitely stop and make some time to take a full practice test to gauge your current score level and percentile. The absolute best way to assess your current level is to simply take the ACT as if it were real, keeping strict timing and working straight through (we know—not the most thrilling way to spend four hours, but it will help tremendously in the long run). So print off one of the free ACT practice tests available online and then sit down to take it all at once.

Once you’ve got a good idea of your current level and percentile ranking, you can set milestones and goals for your ultimate ACT score. If you’re currently scoring in the 0-16 or 17-24 range, your best best is to first check out our guides on using the key math strategies of plugging in numbers and plugging in answers to help get your score up to where you want it to. Only once you've practiced and successfully improved your scores on questions 1-40 should you start in trying to tackle the most difficult math problems on the test.

If, however, you are already scoring a 25 or above and want to test your mettle for the real ACT, then definitely proceed to the rest of this guide. If you’re aiming for perfect (or close to), then you’ll need to know what the most difficult ACT math questions look like and how to solve them. And luckily, that’s exactly what we’re here for.

[tex] \frac{13}{ - 5} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \frac{y1 - y2}{x1 - x2} \\ \frac{7 - ( - 6)}{ - 3 - 2} \\ \frac{7 + 6}{ - 5} \\ = \frac{13}{ - 5} [/tex]

Answer:

-2.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope or gradient is the ratio of the vertical (y axis) and horizontal distances (x axis) between two points on a line.

It should be noted that it is defined as zero if the line is horizontal, but undefined if it is vertical.

Given:

Coordinates (- 3, 7) (2, - 6)

y1 = 7, y2= -6, x1= -3, x2=2

Slope : ∆ y/ ∆ x

= (y2 - y1 )/ (x2 - x1)

= (-6 - (7))/ (2 - (-3))

= (-13)/(5) = -13:5= -2.6

Answer:

the value of x is 5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of x, you have to move the unrelated terms to the other side by adding 4 to both sides :

[tex]11 = 3x - 4[/tex]

[tex]11 + 4 = 3x - 4 + 4[/tex]

[tex]15 = 3x[/tex]

Next, you have to divide it by 3 :

[tex]3x = 15[/tex]

[tex]x = 15 \div 3[/tex]

[tex]x = 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

B

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Θ is an angle in the third quadrant, then secΘ < 0 and tanΘ > 0

Using the identity

sec x = [tex]\frac{1}{cosx}[/tex] , then

cos x = - [tex]\sqrt{1-sin^2x}[/tex]

         = - [tex]\sqrt{1-(-3/5)^2}[/tex] = - [tex]\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{25} }[/tex] = - [tex]\sqrt{\frac{16}{25} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex], thus

secΘ = [tex]\frac{1}{-\frac{4}{5} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

---------------------------

Using the identity

tan x = [tex]\frac{sinx}{cosx}[/tex] , then

tanΘ = [tex]\frac{-\frac{3}{5} }{-\frac{4}{5} }[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex] × - [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

The value of sec(x) is (5/4) and tan(x) will be (-3)(4).

The branch of mathematics sets up a relationship between the sides and the angles of the right-angle triangle termed trigonometry.

Sine, cosine, tangent, cosecant, secant, and cotangent are some of their names. The adjacent side, opposite side, and hypotenuse side of the right triangle are used to define each of these trigonometric ratios.

The six trigonometric ratios are the source of all fundamental trigonometric identities.

The given value of sin (x) is ( -3 / 5 ). The values of sec(x) and tan(x) will be calculated as below:-

sec(x) = 1 / cos(x)

[tex]cosx = \sqrt{1-sin^2x}[/tex]

[tex]cosx = \sqrt{1-(\dfrac{-3}{5})^2}[/tex]

cos(x) = 4 / 5

sec(x) = 1 / ( 4 / 5 ) = ( 5/ 4)

The value of tan(x) will be calculated as:-

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x) = ( -3 / 5 ) / (4 / 5 )

tan(x) = (-3/4)

Therefore, the value of sec(x) is (5/4) and tan(x) will be (-3)(4).

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 247 inches^2 to the nearest square inch

Step-by-step explanation:

This question asks us to calculate the area of a parallelogram given the sides and an acute angle.

Please check attachment for diagrammatic representation of the said parallelogram.

Mathematically, the area of the parallelogram can be calculated using the formula;

A = ab sin θ

where a and b refers to the length of the two sides and θ being the acute angle

Substituting these values, we have

A = 20 * 14 * sin 62

A = 280 sin 62 = 247.23 which is 247 inches^2 to the nearest square inch

Answer:

The volume of Vince’s Kitchen is 680 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of Vince’s kitchen, what is needed to be done is to multiply the area of the floor by the height of the kitchen

Mathematically Volume V of kitchen = area of kitchen floor * height of kitchen

From the question, the area of the kitchen floor = 85 square feet

Height of kitchen = 8 feet

Plugging these values to get the area of the Kitchen, we have;

V = 8 * 85 = 680 cubic feet

Answer:

1620°C

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation

C = 1780 - 160

C = 1620°C

Answer:A

Step-by-step explanation:

A box-and-whisker plot. The number line goes from 0 to 25. The whiskers range from 2 to 15, and the box ranges from 3 to 8. A line divides the box at 6. Option A is correct.

A straightforward method of expressing statistical data on a plot in which a rectangle is drawn to represent the second and third quartiles, with a vertical line inside to indicate the median value. Horizontal lines on both sides of the rectangle show the lower and upper quartiles.

Here,

The lower quartile (Q1) of the data set is 3, so the bottom of the box must start at 3.
The interquartile range (IQR) is 5, so the upper quartile (Q3) must be
Q1 + IQR = 3 + 5 = 8

The median (also called the first quartile) is halfway between Q1 and Q3, so it must be at (Q1 + Q3) / 2 = (3 + 8) / 2 = 6.

The whiskers extend to the minimum and maximum values within 1.5 * IQR of the box, so they must range from 2 to 15.

Answer:

Huh. I don't really see the question at hand.

Answer: [tex]17.68cm[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the area formula of a cone, find the height first.

[tex]A=\pi r(r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2})[/tex]

Solve for h,

Begin by dividing by [tex]\pi r[/tex]

[tex]\frac{A}{\pi r}=r+\sqrt{h^2+r^2}[/tex]

Subtract r.

[tex]\frac{A}{\pi r}-r=\sqrt{h^2+r^2}[/tex]

Square both sides.

[tex](\frac{A}{\pi r}-r)^2=(\sqrt{h^2+r^2})^2[/tex]

[tex](\frac{A}{\pi r}-r)^2=h^2+r^2[/tex]

Subtract [tex]r^2[/tex]

[tex](\frac{A}{\pi r}-r)^2-r^2=h^2[/tex]

Extract the square root.

[tex]\sqrt{(\frac{A}{\pi r}-r)^2-r^2 } =\sqrt{h^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{(\frac{A}{\pi r}-r)^2-r^2 } =h[/tex]

Plug in your values.

[tex]\sqrt{[\frac{670cm^2}{(3.14)(8cm)}-(8cm)]^2-(8cm)^2 } =h[/tex]

Solve;

[tex]\sqrt{[\frac{670cm^2}{25.12cm}-(8cm)]^2-(8cm)^2 } =h[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{[26.67cm-(8cm)]^2-(8cm)^2 } =h[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{(18.67cm)^2-(8cm)^2 } =h[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{348.57cm^2-64cm^2}=h[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{284.57cm^2}=h[/tex]

[tex]15.77cm=h[/tex]

------------------------------------------------------------------

Now, to find the slant height use this formula: [tex]l=\sqrt{h^2+r^2}[/tex]

[tex]l=\sqrt{(15.77cm)^2+(8cm)^2}\\l=\sqrt{248.69cm^2+64cm^2}\\ l=\sqrt{312.69cm^2}\\ l=17.68cm[/tex]

Answer:

x = 5

y = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

just substitute the value of one variable into the other

-x +y = -1

or y = -1 +x   <-------- (i just added x to the right side)

now u know what y is equal to, just substitute that value into the first equation

2x - (-1+x) = 6     <-------- instead of y, i put the value of y from the 2 equation

NOW SOLVE FOR X!

2x +1 -x = 6

x + 1 = 6

x = 5

now solve for y since you have the value of x

y = -1 + x

or y = -1 + 5

y = 4
