that question was a killer, ngl! helps if you have done physics for that question(Original post by rawragee)
I'm really hoping the last question in paper 2 isn't a vectors question! I tried to do the 2009 paper the other day and the last question is a killer vector question
I can do the normal vector stuff (find an angle, show they're perpendicular etc) but not like problem solving ones
im kinda hoping we get a comparable question tbh, just so there's something challenging in the paper :P

Re: Higher Maths 2012I am soooo scared! Maths is my favourite subject and I'm planning on taking adv. higher next year so I really need an A. I got an A in my prelim (just lol) So, I'm hoping I can do the same. I have no idea how to draw graphs of f'(x) though, but it never seems to come up (in the past papers i've done anyway lol.

Re: Higher Maths 2012Sketch f'(x) the same way you'd sketch any other function.(Original post by dead101)

I have seen this a few times in older past papers, but don't fret about it, aslong as you can do everything else(Original post by dead101)
