Re: Mr M's OCR (not OCR MEI) Core 3 Answers June 2012I can't say from what you have told me - it doesn't sound hopeful!(Original post by tahseen1995)
Mr M, for question 9(ii) for some reason I differentiated ln(2y) instead of integrating (I was trying to integrate but I was just being retarded), and got my answer from there. Will I get a mark?
EDIT: Btw thanks a lot for the solutions!

Re: Mr M's OCR (not OCR MEI) Core 3 Answers June 2012yes(Original post by tahseen1995)
Oh and would it be okay for 4(b) to give my answer as e(0.5e+4)-0.5? Thanks -
Re: Mr M's OCR (not OCR MEI) Core 3 Answers June 2012Mr. M, for 9ii) (the 6 mark question), I did everything correctly up till the point where we had to calculate the lower bound. For some reason, because i'm a dog I differentiated rather than just plugging x=0 into f(x), hence I integrated with lower bound 1, instead of lower bound 1/2. All the steps in the integration were correct, but my final answer would be wrong since the lower limit I subbed in was wrong. How many marks would I lose in your opinion?(Original post by Mr M)

Re: Mr M's OCR (not OCR MEI) Core 3 Answers June 2012It was mercifully brief. I did maths and pretended to listen.(Original post by Doctor.)
Mr M 4(b) I accidently messed up when multiplying out the brackets but integrated the terms are everything fine - how many marks would I get for that?
hope the after school meeting was...fun?
probably 2 marks -
Re: Mr M's OCR (not OCR MEI) Core 3 Answers June 2012drop 1 mark and drop 3 marks probably(Original post by Tukazoar)
How many marks would I drop if I put 4/3 < x < 6 for q1
, and for using g^1(x) instead of g(x) for the second part of 7? -
Re: Mr M's OCR (not OCR MEI) Core 3 Answers June 2012What I meant is I correctly rearranged the equation to get pi times the integral of y=ln(2x) with limits of 1/2e^(4) and 1/2, but instead of using part (i) of question 9 to find the integral of ln(2x) I integrated ln(2x) to 1/x (I panicked due to lack of time) and went from there.(Original post by Mr M)
I can't say from what you have told me - it doesn't sound hopeful!
I was wondering if would at least get a mark for correctly rearranging the equation and realising the the area of the shaded region rotated about the y axis would be the integral of ln(2x) within limits of 1/2e^(4) and 1/2 multiplied by pi.
...did I make sense?
lol thank youLast edited by tahseen1995; 14-06-2012 at 16:39. -

Is this your actual teacher? Seems a bit weird(Original post by tahseen1995)

but I suppose it's a good idea too.

Just kidding, nope but I do casually stalk Mr M
(Only on TSR lol) would be so weird if someone did that in real life

Re: Mr M's OCR (not OCR MEI) Core 3 Answers June 2012Thanks. Just two questions.
On question 9iii) if I used my answer from question 9ii) to calculate the volume (but followed the correct method) would I get any of the 2 marks?
Also, on question 9ii) I got an incorrect answer as when I substituted in the limits I rewrote ln(e^4) as e^4 instead of 4. However, I applied the limits correctly to the other variables. (And applied the correct method throughout) How many marks out of the 6 is this likely to have costed me?
Thanks a lot
