Re: Higher Maths 2012No way? Please let that be right!!!!(Original post by -Neuro-)
My teacher 20 was B
Are you sure she said it was B? I could be wrong because my teacher didn't do the paper, she told us the answer after a glance at it.

Re: Higher Maths 2012was 12 really b. i dont know about the max value but im sure that x value was 5pi/6(Original post by ..lauren)
4 was B, 12 was B, 13 was D and I think 20 was A (although I got B). I only know this because one of our teachers marked it. I got 18 and 20 wrong

Re: Higher Maths 2012I got B for 20, i don't see how 2 is the answer.(Original post by ..lauren)
No way? Please let that be right!!!! -
Re: Higher Maths 2012For a few of them i practically had to write I'm not an idiot, I know how numbers work, but you're being mean this year(Original post by daisyclouds)
Paper 2 was a disgrace, got to the point were I was literally writing, cannot factorise so I'm changing the number.. I mean what the hell is that? Never have I thought that I would resort to making up my own numbers

I wrote about parallel lines and then I was like I know that -H'(x) is the inverse, and twice as big, but I don't know what the first one was, therefore I CANNOT draw it for you!
I now dislike the SQA a whole lot more.... -
Re: Higher Maths 2012Yeah I'm pretty similar, harder than expected, still confident for an A, and got some nice looking answers for the hard ones(Original post by bethm95)
I didn't find it too bad, paper two had a few tricky ones in it, but I had a stab at them
still confident for an A I think. wby?

Re: Higher Maths 2012Guess we're both on the same boat the(Original post by ..lauren)
No way? Please let that be right!!!!
I hope so.... How could it be A where the answer was 2?
Has anyone got a paper 1 which they could upload?
If nobody has then I shall try to upload mine but it has writing plastered over it.... -
Re: Higher Maths 2012Nor do I! Heres hoping the teacher is wrong... But he is the head of maths and has a PhD so that's reasonably unlikely :P(Original post by Siwel95)
I got B for 20, i don't see how 2 is the answer. -
Re: Higher Maths 2012Most of Circle question is me writing to the marker that this is how it works :P.(Original post by lapples)

Did everyone else get the equation to be (x+5)^2 + (y-5)^2 = 40? -
Re: Higher Maths 2012I defo got b) how did you get y+3x=1(Original post by lapples)
See for 23a (section B P1), did anyone get:
a) 3y-x=8
b)y+3x=1
c) (-0.5,2.5)
d) 1 - don't think that bit is right
???
Are you sure she said it was B? I could be wrong because my teacher didn't do the paper, she told us the answer after a glance at it.
) But question 20 may be wrong
