I thought it was good untill question 9 and 10.
I had no problems at all until the last part of Q9, where we had to find the distance below the axis. Spent about 5 mins on it, nothing came to me, so went on to Q10.
I started Q10 with approx 1hr 15mins to spare. Did the first 5 marker in under 2 mins. Think I spent the next 10 mins on the 7 marker.
Spent about 20mins checking my paper, couldn't find any stupid mistakes or anything I couldn't do. Went back to the last 2marker in Q9. That took me up to the end of the exam...and I still had no clue what to do.

All in all, easiest paper I've done.

Question 9 and 10 were so hard.

I forgot how to integrate logs..?
You can't, you were meant to change it to (e^y + 2).

you didn't need to integrate the log in q 10 (not taught in 2U). you needed to minus the area of the curve between the y-axis from the of the rectangle (7ln5)

I found that out right after the exam >.<"

The one about r>=5/3 I kind of just made it up. I put theta=2pi so r=5/3 but I had no idea what to do next :S


My friend said her maths teacher saw the paper and said it was hard for a 2U paper.
