2P+7Y EXPRESSION
2P=7Y+4C FORMULA
2X≡2p IDENTITY

There was another question about finding two numbers
something a + b =15 and the difference between the numbers was 8?
what did everyone get for that question?

I thought that exam was very stressful. Because of it I made a few mistakes. What did people get for the fraction algebra question?

for the frustum question wasn't it just the volume of the bottom shape which was 500?
because usually its volume of full cone - volume of removed cone, but it already had given the dimensions of the actual frustum at the bottom so wouldn't you just use that only?

For the question about working out the perimeter of the semi circle, i used the equation 2pr and added the diameter of the circle also but i forgot to half it so i got 41 but i think the right answer was 20.5?

And I got 3.2. T = 3.5, or 3 h 30 min.

The value of x for the shaded rectangle - I got 0.75. Did not have time to check the answers, unfortunately. Anyone near that?

Equation for the graph - y = 6x + 100.

CD = 10 pounds, DVD = 12.50 pounds.

Last question, maximum height = 64/15 or 4(4/15); h = 0.93 (h is perhaps wrong).

Area of triangle works out at 2,5.

Numbers that add up to 15 and their difference is 8: 11.5 and 3.5

Numbers that have median of 5 and range of I forgot what: 2 4 6 8 (maybe wrong)

Perimeter of semi-circle: (31/2)+10=25.5 cm

Yeah, that was definitely what I thought! I made some simple mistakes because I got so stressed with some questions and didn't have time to check thanks to some of the killer questions. On reflection, they weren't so difficult - they just threw me because it was harder than what they tend to be on that exam. I think it feels like it was worse than what most people have probably done.
