    Europeans too selfish to have children

    um... wat? : O no way Fair points. Society certainly seems to be lacking in values, with focus on doing whatever is easy and instantly pleasurable, with little ability to look beyond the self, or beyond a certain point in time. This accompanies a lack of perception of purpose for one's life...

    What value life?

    (my) answer to everything = utilitarianism the value is not on the life, but on the experiences had. we should allocate resources in whichever way we estimate to produce the most net gain in ~happiness when all things are reasonably considered etc etc I don't see why you would place an...

    Should the insane be executed

    isn't rehabilitation supposed to be the (a?) purpose of prisons/asylums anyway? with enough research, we could probably find methods/drugs/etc. that make the process quite efficient - maybe it's not possible, but it seems a worthy goal. otherwise: I would still hold execution to be the best...

    Should the insane be executed

    would there be any purpose to this? since, presumably, the person is no longer a threat to society, then (a lot of) mandatory community service or something would be better can you justify this statement? I don't see why this is the case it seems to me that execution would seem the more...

    Should the insane be executed

    what a terrible thing to think! the aim should be a careful rehabilitation; an attempt to return the person to sanity, and allow them to make a positive contribution to society if this is not possible, then (hypothetically, at least) I think it would be better for all parties involved for the...

    How many marks have you dropped?

    I didn't notice "use... the product rule" in the induction question and did first principles instead, so that will probably cost me a mark. may have lost a mark in the last section, since my working wasn't set out well, not sure though other than that, nothing that I can think of

    Bungee question

    it's here (basically).. http://community.boredofstudies.org/862/mathematics-extension-2/225998/solutions.html using auxillary method, 29sint - 10sint = sqrt(29^2 + 10^2)sin(t+@) for some value @ and also, e^-t/10 < 1, as t > 0 so x = e^-t/10 *sqrt(29^2 + 10^2)sin(t+@) + 92 < sqrt(29^2 + 10^2) +...

    Bungee question

    he did not; and this can actually be shown quite simply, without differentiating

    solutions

    a couple mistakes (from the first link): in question 3. d), you have an x2, but it should just be an x, so the integral there is incorrect Q 7 a) ii) is great! you just need to add the 2 metres of the person's height, which then gives 124.68 (still under 125) everything else seems fine

    question 1d.. final answer

    I screwed this question up. I originally read the -4 as a +4, so was starting a different method, but then realised it was a -4. so I had a combination of two different methods, which ended up being quite messy, and I don't think I ended up with the right answer :(

    Bungee question

    oh lol, there is a really easy way to get the answer without differentiting (as shown in the solutions posted by thuc on here)

    sweet. I think that's what I got (I got 119.x m at least)

    General Thoughts: Mathematics Ext 2

    yeah it did seem to be in a different style to what I've seen before. and the difficulty was spread throughout the paper imo; like q8 wasn't really any harder than some parts of previous questions

    Bungee question

    lol not a nice question. calculations have no place in a mathematics exam!
