did anyone do ccea maths c1 today

i got everthing right apart from maybe question 8, i got
- 4 - (2 root 2) < X < - 4 + (2 root 2). is that right
Yea i did it today! cant remember what i got but it was something like that!
What answers did use get in each question? What did use think of the paper overall?

Hi yeah I did it,
I got something similar to that answer for question 8 as well. What did you get for question 7?

what was it about, we had to give up our question book

The cost function which you had to say was increasing when t>2 :smile:

Here are my answers can anyone give any feedback?
1. Simplifying an equation - 5
b) graph functions, f(x-1) moved one to the right
f(-x) reflected in the y axis
2. x=20 y=45 z=30
3a)i) gradient of AB = 2
ii) equation of line perpendic to AB going through (-1,1)
2y=-x-1
b) differentiating y=4x^3 - x^-1/3
i got - 12x^2 + 1/3x^-4/3
4. curve and line meeting at points C and D
i) find co ordinates - C (2,-1) D (4,3)
ii) exact length - sq root of 20/ 2root 5
5a) factor theorem ii) factories fully - (2x-1)(x+2)(x+1)
iii)solve equation so x=1/2, x=-2, x=-1
b) triangle q
6root 3 + 4
6. horrible question about the road race
couldn't do i)
ii) 17/2
7a)i) dy/dx of x^4 + 32x
4x^3 + 32
ii) find x co ord of turning point and its nature
x= -2, minimum
b) cost
t > cube root of 6 ( i know thats wrong)
8. curves that didn't meet
i got the discriminant to be m^2 + 8m + 8<0 and instead of using the quad formula i did m^2 + 8m < - 8
and ended up with like -8<m<-16 or something stupid

anyone get any of the same answers?

The cube root of 6 was wrong, it was supposed to be t>2. Number 8, you did wrong, but you would have gained some marks for getting as far as the quadratic inequality. I think your factorising in the long division may be wrong. Also, the equation of the perpendicular line; I think you may have got a sign or two wrong. Apart from that, all good :smile:

unreal i am almost certain i got 100%
How did you think you had 100% when you didnt even attempt 6)i.
Sorry to sound harsh!
It was a decent paper. I messed up in a few spots but I think I'll get a high B/ an A.

It wasn't him who said that.

would you talk me through 6i) 7b) and 8? also what was the perpendicular equation meant to be?

Used the wrong 'length of a line' formula in a question, couldn't get a final value for when the cost is increasing in Q7, only got to the quadratic inequality in Q8.

You had a negative 1 which I think was supposed to be a positive.

6i; wasn't this the speed one? You just had something along the lines of 17/x + 13/(x-2) if I remember correctly? Then just add them and set equal to 4. (They're the expressions for time taken.)

7b; you differentiated the function and said it was greater than 0. You ended up with it being 2.

8; set the curves equal to each other and you'll form a quadratic. Since there is no solutions to this, due to them not meeting, you take the discriminant and say it's less than 0. I ended up with a quadratic inequality which I then drew a graph of. :smile:
