    Re: MX2 Integration Marathon

    Personally, I would have made the substitution x=u^2.

    As a result, you get the integral of u*sqrt(1+u), which is straight-forward to evaluate, and the substitution back to x is quick.

    Re: Missed 2 Tutorials with good marks

    This is true if attendance counts towards your final mark.

    However, for OP's course, attendance does not count towards the final mark.

    (but doesn't mean you should skip tutorials!)

    You're fine, the attendance only really matters if you're borderline failing.

    \ddot{x} = \frac{d}{dx} \left ( \frac{1}{2} v^2 \right )

    Also, if you found your x(t) correctly, you should be able to differentiate that twice to get the acceleration in terms of time.

    Geometric probability is straying quite a bit from Extension 2 without any prior intuition. Not many students fully grasp the concept of probability being the area under a curve.
