Re: C3 ocr mei june 21st 2012How can you have negative area?(Original post by hprmc)
hhaha... how did you get your 1.5 ? cos i actually got -1.5 haha. im scared ive lost all the marks for the question
I got -1.5 by integrating tangent, then integrating the original graph, then taking the area of the graph away from the tangent. -
It is acceptable to have a negative value for the area, it just represents area in the negative axi but as area can only be positive you just ignore the negative sign.(Original post by verello12)
How can you have negative area?

Haha snap I also got 16/18(Original post by ray_charlene)
BTW, what did you guys get for the coursework?
I got 16/18, made me feel a bit relieved after C4 exam because I left a few answers in section B blank, the coursework might not be helping too much but better than nothing.

Re: C3 ocr mei june 21st 2012yours still isnt right its because both f(x) and g(x) are odd so f(-x)=-f(x) and g(-x)=-g(x)(Original post by Jam')
By proof they were looking for a general case. If f(x)=g(x) then f(x)g(x) = f2(x) so you haven't proven much tbh and your conclusions cannot be extended to a general case; what if f(x) =/= g(x); does it still work?
and so p(-x)= -f(x) * -g(x)= f(x)g(x)=p(x) -
Re: C3 ocr mei june 21st 2012What did you get in the coursework? if you got 15 considering that many people found it ok/easy then prob an A-80ums. C4 I think you are probably looking at definitely an A but somewhere between maybe 82-86 ums (or possibly more i;m using that an a-70/90)(Original post by yeahmon123)
Hey guys, I reckon I perhaps got about 60/72 in this core 3 paper and approximately 73/90 in core 4. What UMS and grades will those marks give me do you think? Grade boundaries are quite unpredictable from year on year. I reallllllllllyyyyyyy need an A in A2.
But I', 80% sure you got an A for both these exams. Same i predicted i got like 60/72 (silly mistakes cost me LOL)

Re: C3 ocr mei june 21st 2012Aw thanks do you have the paper by any chance?(Original post by Aaqil)
Hey guys, I am also doing c3, if u need any help just send a post, I would love to help u, If I could not help then the other students on this forum might help. I know this is quite late now, but I am going to attach a file that u might find very useful. -
Re: C3 ocr mei june 21st 2012Haha true(Original post by Polioz)
if the thread has 23487923 replies , it was a hard paper and everyone rushes to tsr to hope everyone else found it hard for reasurance. If its easy, ppl just go meh and go off and carry on living
.
I have a feeling the exam will bite us later though, with painfully high grade boundaries

Re: C3 ocr mei june 21st 2012OMG Thanks you've made my day lol, yeah I got 15 on the coursework. Haha same I hate it when that happens, when the daft mistakes cost you crucial marks, you go in all prepared and then come out feeling like an idiot.(Original post by Funkyhouse)

Re: C3 ocr mei june 21st 2012
Hi guys,
I know it sounds stupid now but for 9i) what are the co ordinates for P after the transformation y = 2f(x)?
I left them as they were as i thought they wouldn't change but a few people have said they just multiplied the y coordinate by 2 but surely that would be y = f(x) + 2.
Any help? -
Re: C3 ocr mei june 21st 2012y=2f(x) -> stretch in the y-axis, scale factor 2, so yes, you multiply by 2.(Original post by James4821)

y=f(x)+2 -> translation by 2 units in the positive y-direction.Last edited by Jam'; 24-06-2012 at 09:25. Reason: My stupid ditzy self
