well first internally at my school didn't sit the exam because he's been in hospital for a long time (didn't sit trial either), so i can't imagine him being too happy :/
second is probs pretty happy tho
98 or 97 is my guess. i feel like e4 cutoff will be lower but top range will be a little tighter. the paper really wasn't very graded difficulty wise, q16 was a lot easier than usually and q11/12 was a lot harder
yep i think this will be the downfall of most people in circle geo.
even if they went a really longwinded way around, they assumed it was collinear in their proof (i know a few people who did)
you can't use vertically opposite angles, that involves the assumption that they are already collinear. i proved vert opposite of APX and RPC using the sum of the angles about P = 360 and APX = DPQ, YPB = RPC
you end up with APX = RPC therefore collinear
also, i go to penrith :)
hopefully!! expecting a silly mistake or 2 in some of the valued questions like t method and volumes, but i checked them in my spare time before i reattempted circle geo (which i finished messily as she said pens down)
that was a really disappointing 4U paper to be honest. having a standalone 3 mark integral in the last q was upsetting, and everything but the circle geo in q16 was really straight forward and easy.
i bet 90% of the people who attempted circle geo part ii will have assumed that they were...
correct should be
Q1. D
Q2. A
Q3. B
Q4. C
Q5. C
Q6. D (made a silly mistake in the exam though :( )
Q7. B (differentiate to check)
Q8. B
Q9. B (not sure about this but when i checked A using d(v^2/2)/dx it didn't work)
Q10.D (split it into f(x) + f(-x) between 0 and a then use f(a-x) theorem on...
