Yes I got 36 units wasn't sure about that question paper 1 sucked.

[Colin]

Same as me davey boy, paper 1 was hard(for me, not a maths genius). I need a c so lets nope the pass marks pretty low

[lanky_182]

I got

Paper 2

2)b)i) -13/85
  b)ii) -84/13

  c)i) (2,3)

7) 2.87

11)a) Put it into the equation, it came to zero
    b) Synthetic division, used discriminant, got p<or=to -1, p>or=to 3

wooo yea! i got 2.87... and rounded up to 2.9 which is less than 3
and got those answers for 2b!

I doubt it will change much this paper was harder than last year.

What about answers to paper 1.

[gary]

Ok I got 14.5 for Q.10 is the correct answer 13.5.

[drew_jarvie]

It definately was 36 units, checked it on graphics calculator.

Thought both papers went well, Paper One was a bit harder than Paper 2 I thought.

My theories for pretty much all the questions were sound I think, but I've made a few errors , llike not putting +C after integration and the graph sketching forgetting to add 3 etc.

In the recurrance relations question in paper one, did everyone work k out to =1?

[gary]

How did people do that question I got very confused.

In the recurrance relations question in paper one, did everyone work k out to =1?

I said 4 = 4k + 5
and k = -1/4

[Moral Fabric]

Very enjoyable!  I'm feeling quite confident.

ditto plus paper one was easier that paper two, i think i got 2 answers wrong, maybe 3 but i'll still get a decent amount of marks i reckon

so did I, i think

I got k= -1/4

So did the class maths genius so I hope I'm right.

Hail to the the Chief for making the answer -1/4.
That's what I said but nasty friends were telling me it was positive.

Very annoyed though that there wasnt any optimisation or completing the square etc. I'm a pro at those.

Also, the whole a.(a+b+c+) thing, what's that all about?

I didnt get this question right, I think i must have dont eh same as you, did you differentiate etc then turns out to be one?

The right answer is that you take the expression its something like (3x...) and make it into two brackets, one solution is -1/4 and the other is 2, therefore the answer is 2 as it does not recur, while -1/4 does recur (recurrance happens when x is in between 1 and -1)

What did everyone get for these:

Paper 1

1.
2.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
11a.

[drew_jarvie]

Also, the whole a.(a+b+c+) thing, what's that all about?

a.(a.b.c) = a.a + a.b + a.c

[gary]

I got 14.5 for that someone said it was 13.5 so I don't know.

a.(a+b+c) = a.a + a.b + a.c?

a.a = 3*3
a.b = 0
a.c = 3 * 2 * cos(sin^-1(2/3))

and add 'em together. That's what I did...

Comes to 13.5.

yas now i know i defo got one answer right!!

[gary]

I never got that then don't see how sin comes into it.
