wow, that has to be one of the most difficult exams in the history of advanced higher, no proof by induction, no gaussian elimination, no euclidean algorithm
what did everyone else think?

Didn't find it too bad to be honest, I'm not sure about a few of them though. Annoyingly I have just noticed the "y>0" statement on question 5 so I've got that horribly wrong.
What did you get for?
Question 4: I got ln81
8: (10 choose r)x^(20-3r)
13: 14e^x - 8e^(2x) + x^2+3x - 11/2
14b: x=-t, y=3+2t, z=7+6t
15b: (e,e) minimum
15c: (e^2, (e^2)/2)
16 was horrible but I got there in the end. 12 was gay too but I didn't write down my answer.

i found most of the paper ok but question 14 and 15 were really bad for me.
was getting dy/dx = e in q.15... guessing thats wrong and q.14 - well i never liked vectors anyway.
hoping for a B - what bout u guyz?

ahh no worries im sure you'll have done alrite =)
na no worries man lol i fucked up question 13, i put the PI as Cx^2 :| :| :| and forgot about Dx +E.. so thats at least half if not more of the marks down the drain for me on that question.
yeh im hoping for a B too, hopefully it'll be an A if the grade boundaries are low enough

Was severely annoyed with the lack of gaussian, euclidean and proof of induction... those fifteen marks would've totally saved my butt through that exam!
It was alright... I could've done better could've done worse. Can't remember any of my answers!

LOL don't be thinking I remembered those answers. I wrote down all my answers on my question paper!
