    ruse 2013 trial solutions

    I just found it. (Mind you, it's been like 5 years since my HSC and I was just going off the top of my head and, as it seems, my memory turned out to be quite correct) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ytcsnu1tmskklhv/AACS0G0bzY03FUu3iYCOJ0UPa

    ruse 2013 trial solutions

    Lol Q13c is basically copied from a Victorian paper ... Q12c is very similar to a past HSC paper (2004 I think) I've seen Q14a previously. Other questions seem pretty standard as well. Seems very unlike a typical Ruse paper. Perhaps the person writing it couldn't be bothered with...

    Didn't see this until now. I'm quite sure it is written in LaTeX. You can get packages which change the font to 'Times' (but not 'Times New Roman' because it's proprietary or something).

    2013 HSC exam Q28(b)(iv) CONTRADICTS THE SYLLABUS!!!!!!

    That's a bit contradictory in itself ... usually when one refers to a "prediction", they are referring to something outside the data points to which the data was fitted. Anything inside would be the "fitted value" of the model ...

    Using 4U knowledge in 3U exam?

    Yes, but note what was said in the marker's comments for Q2(c)(ii) of the 2005 Extension 1 HSC paper: "Some candidates tried to use integration by parts to do this question. However, very few were successful using this method."

    BOS Trials 2013 Extension 2 Discussion Thread

    I meant complex maps. I still think there's serious question as to whether it is in the syllabus or not. Anyway, isn't mapping curves -> curves the same thing as mapping points -> points? I.e. In the former case aren't we mapping the points of a curve to another point of a curve etc? Oo

    Scanned Paper

    Lol, they have colour now. And I see now reason why the papers would be retained given that they wouldn't be reusing the questions.

    I don't think Q11(c) is really in the syllabus because it involves mappings (although it can be done by arguments/circle geom as well). I think, in fact, the syllabus explicitly excludes these types of locus questions.

    Solving for x - exponential equations to base e

    A lie is still a lie. Perhaps "no real solution" would've been more appropriate.

    Solving for x - exponential equations to base e

    Lies. Let x = a+ib (where a and b are real) Then e^(a)e^(ib)=-1 e^a (cos b + i sin b) = -1 Equate real and imaginary parts: cos b = - e^(-a) and sin b = 0 So b = π and -1 = -e^(-a) e^a = 1 a = 0 Thus, x = iπ is also a solution.

    Re: HSC 2013 4U Marathon It's worth noting that these types are not in the 4U syllabus. Still interesting though.

    I could make a joke about this, but I shalln't. But yeah, hyponatrimia could be an issue...

    Realise's 2U raw marks

    In my opinion, that's the way it should be... If there is massive aligning then it means the exam was too hard, and that's stupid because they should set a doable exam which separates the cohort out without aligning.

    Perhaps they're trying to lower the actuarial drop out rate...

    Fins1613?

    Usually when a class is 'full' then it is. They might open up new spot though. What do you mean?
