Yeah we had to "highlight what line David made a mistake"

pretty stupid, i mean, once again that's just testing if me can memorise a standard method!

I did the same test with minai, and i got 50 out of 66.
Component B was a real pain in the arse!

There was a time displacement graph which we didnt actually learn in maths, but was taught in physics. I kicked myself after the exam coz i knew how to do it, but i didnt want to apply phyics into maths (i was told you couldnt do that)

Even a physics solution is better than no solution. =)

Time-displacement graphs are a part of the course though.

Time Displacement???

 

[Lazarus]

Graphs of the motion of particle over time.

Time is on the x-axis, displacement is on the y-axis.

You really should have come across them in Ext 1 already.

 

[Minai]

if they are part of the syllabus, our teachers have been lapse in providing sufficient revision on that....cos i hardly recall even learning them!

 

[Nelly]

like shm?

 

[Big Willy]

U right Minai;
You know how Rox is; even though she didnt write the test.

I do not recall learning that the area under the curve is the distance travelled - in maths

 

[Lazarus]

Ohh... I remember that question... there was one like that in last year's CSSA trial.

We didn't learn it in maths either, but you need to know it, heh.

The teachers don't always cover everything, make sure you check up on them.

But this is 2U Mathematics!

Although, I think I HAVE vaguely heard something about it. Is it in 'Applications of calculus to the physical world'?

 

[Lazarus]

I think we did it in Ext 1 before we did it in 2u. Or something. I forget.

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's part of that topic.
