Thought it was fairly standard notation, tbh (and not just in programming) :dontknow:


Oh... maybe I'm just unlearned... :emo:

I wouldn't bother if you aren't planning on actually programming :tongue:

Haha:tongue:

Is it wrong of me to find rocket science the easiest bit of mechanics? Also can you check my latest answers? (please:biggrin:)

I'm bored with C1. My maths teacher has noticed this. She sits with me going through STEP questions when I get really bored :biggrin:


OK, then. I used to be so fired up about it. I would say: "Yeah! Imma learn some programming! :ahee:" But then... I don't know what happened, actually. :redface:

:ninja:

Nope. It's not wrong. I shall in a minute. :smile:

Lucky. I don't even have a teacher to sit down with. Je suis toute seul. :emo:

Better than nothing. :smile:

You are welcome.

Yes, I do... :yep:

It would be nice if I could actually do them really well.:tongue: A mathematicians dream: not to cower from STEP questions....

Well, you're certainly doing better than me if you can at least understand some of the questions in year 12. I still struggle with STEP and I'm sitting it at the end of the year :s-smilie:

I'm applying for Maths at Cambridge, Warwick, Bath, Manchester and Birmingham.

Some of the Physics questions on this paper look really cool :cool: The maths questions, by in large, seem quite straight forward.

You must have an amazing teacher! Which modules are you doing in year 12?

2010 - Q6

Seems like a lot for four marks; perhaps I am overcomplicating it.


Duuude, I think you waay overcomplicated this. I'm pretty sure if you have a constant perimeter the are will be constant. Therefore, if you divide L into four equal lengths, L/4, (to make a square) then square this to get the area, you get L^2/16, same answer...

I don't think you can simply assume each side has a length of L/4. That would imply you are dealing with a square but it explicitly states that it's a rectangle.

It was worth a try. :lol:

Nope. Consider a square with sides of length 2, and a rectangle with sides 1 and 3.

I'm not entirely sure you got the right answer. I got 3L216\frac{3L^2}{16}.

Edit: actually I think I may have gone wrong somewhere. I'll try again.

I'm not sure how you can arrive at that answer unless you had 216L2+116L2\frac{2}{16}L^2 + \frac{1}{16}L^2 at the end, which, in that case, suggests you've made a sign error somewhere :confused:
