How did you find it?

 

[blinkandyoullmissit]

Fairly good until question 15 and 16 which was quite hard

 

[JAMLO]

Can someone please scan the paper

It was alright, and the questions weren't too bad compared to previous years

 

[BLIT2014]

Was a very mathsy paper

 

[danshea00]

Everything was fairly easy except for question 16.

Question 16 was so tough, and I didn't realise there was the last page until 10 minutes remaining

Same thing happened to one of my friends today...

Woooooo, I totally screwed that one up.
If I didn't have extra units I'd be in a bad state right now, damn.

Only doing this crappy subject because of my parents anyway, I'm glad to be done with it.

It was fine tbh. Lost 7 marks defs for the last two qs and the find x for sin a = sin b qs. Hope I get 85+ fml

What did everyone get for the values of 'a' in the limiting sum = 2 question?? I got 0<a<4 but not sure

 

[tomtomlee95]

All I remember is that you had to know that the absolute value of r<1 and then you rearrange the formula to make r the subject and substitute that in

 

[phainein]

Pretty good! I found it easier than other years actually

 

[WildestDreams]

Omfg i got theh same

[grigsonator99]

Exam was alright overall

Same can't be said for Q16 specifically tho

 

[sarkar_as]

what did everyone get for question 10 where it asked for how many times the velocity changed direction?

 

[grigsonator99]

I put down 3 because of three stationary points

I think I chose 2 because you count how many times it goes from positive to negative or negative to positive. But I think might have misread the graph, not sure lmao

yayy u got it right haha. its cos the top half is the positive direction and vice versa. the stationary points only highlight a change in speed i.e. like it slowed down more
