sketch it out.
say you end up with something like
find the values of x for which
(x+1)(x+2)(x+3)(x+4)>0

That's a happy quartic, with 4 real roots, shaped like a w so then you can see when drawing it, what set of value of x mean the curve is >0.

hey, off topic but dont you think your insurance isnt much of an insurance? offer looks higher than the firm...

AHHH I am retarded.
I cannot open the solutions banks - i downloaded them from the website (mediafire) but cannot open them on any program.
Your video - how did you open it as a website ? Am I being stupid lol.

Thanksssssss

make sure IE is your default browser, and then open it, click on tools, compatibility settings, and tick run all websites in compatibility mode.

if it still doesnt work, make sure you have math player installed

if you cant find the tools bar in IE, enable it from.... somewhere.

hope that helped

For anyone taking exams on the 21st this might be interesting. S3? C4?

I think C4. According to the Telegraph, 43 Egyptian schools were affected and I doubt that many would be associated with S3 and not to mention it's a very unpopular module.

For FP2, are we meant to have memorised how to draw polar graphs from equations?

The specification says you need to be able sketch them. It'll be more helpful if you learn how to derive the graphs rather than memorise them, since they often use unknown constants in the polar equation.

On which browser are you trying to open them?

Make sure that you are opening them on internet explorer.

If you use IE9 then you will need to follow the instructions in the video, if its any other version of IE then you don't need to follow the steps in the video.

Update me if it works or not.

It's the only uni which would let me get a B in Economics. I can get A*AAB in any order whereas my others were more specific and I needed to get an A in Economics. TBH, as long as I didn't get less than a D in Econ 3, I was going to get into UCL, I just had to randomly select an insurance :L
I already had an A* in Maths and you can be pretty sure how well or not you'll do in subjects like FM in Physics.
There is method in my madness.

I'm such a computing pleb, it tries to open in adobe automatically, how do I stop it doing that :/ Because it's the wrong firl format for adobe.

Go to the FP2/FP3 folder. Open the contents folder, then 'sb' folder, and then contents folder.

There you will see a bunch of html files, open them in your internet explorer by right clicking and pressing 'open with'.

fp2 is going well... found june 2009 fp3 really difficult tho!

Where do I begin?

[Omar1994]

Where do I begin?

you need to use an identity i think. so like 24r^2 + 2 = (2r+1)^3 - (2r-1)^3. use method of differences there, and at the end take away 2n and divide by 24 to get ∑r^2.

What are you talking about :/
I click on that link. I say, download. It starts downloading, I have 4 files named further pure mathematics 2, I said open with internet explorer, a little box called view downloads comes up I click open to the thing I want and nothing happens.
Please could you e-mail it to me or something

guys, in fp3 when youre asked to integrate the reciprocal of a quadratic, do you have to do it all from first principles or can you just apply the results in the formulae booklet?

I see, that's what I was wondering. So, we need to learn that identity.

hey, the only chapter im really stuck on is vectors.. do you know any good resources so i can get better? or any particularly difficult questions? thanks

Formulae booklet.

On 2009 Q6B you're asked to sketch the region |z|<3 given that its transformed by w. The correct answer shows the region outside the circle not inside. How do they get that answer quickly (its only a 2 mark question) without redoing the algebra from part A with the inequality?

What are the most difficult solomon papers for fp2 and 3?

As far as I know, there are only Solomon papers for the old FP specification. You'd have to pick out the right questions for the new spec.

oh really :/ do you know what other difficult papers i could do?

how is everyone revising? ive done the old and new spec questions, has anyone got any more?

what i found is a hardcore few hours of going through all the revision exercise questions does it for me! watched the all 5 films of fast and furious learning fp3
