thankyou for this :-) I'm impressed with your memory hahaha



me !!!
Let u = 2x
etc etc


Posted from TSR Mobile


I let u=3x u = 3^{x} made it so much easier.
For the last question, i used (2-1/ln3) as the radius instead of 9. how many marks would I lose??

i got -12 too buddy


Cheers it helps knowing someone else got the same answer
How do you intergrate 3^2x for the last question?!
Total marks for questions 2 anyone?

Does anyone think i'd get any method marks if i used 4000 instead of 4 for the population question?
(Left it hoping i had time to come back to it but i didn't -_-) frustrating to know i got a question wrong because i didn't read the question properly.

Yes but I simplified the logs (cant remembere if it asked for it in its simplest form tho)


You cannot simplify that further

Yes I did :smile: What substitution did you use?


u=3x u = 3^{x} :smile:
boundary predictions?

Nice nice thanks !

How many method marks would you get for the implicit diffrentiaion if you didnt solve after the quadratic????


I'd guess up until the substitution to get the quadratic, there would be 2 method marks, then 2 marks for obtaining the values of x then the last 2 for getting the y values and stating the coordinates

got k=2 instead of k=4, would i get ecf marks?


k was 4?!?!?!?! You sure????

think that 7a is 1/P-2 - 1/P


Yes sorry you're right I wrote this down in a hurry

anyone?


you should be able to get the 'method marks' for the second part but you'd lose the accuracy mark. How much Method/accuracy marks are annotated is a mystery however.

That's what people were saying, I got 2 lol.

Lol i just did it in my head

i got k was 2.... :frown:?!?!?!!?!

I know. I was getting muddled up with someone previously saying it was 3 to the x squared. That is not what I meant at all. I removed the comment, hahaha I look like such an idiot, oops. :colondollar:
It's like saying 2 + 1 doesn't equal 3... oh dear...


Sorry, I wouldn't have picked up on it if I knew. If it's any consolation, I make hundreds of ridiculous claims and errors when I do work even at undergraduate level.

4=k
Original post by emu_neutrino
yeah i did that as i havent really done intergation of a^x that much and didnt want to risk screwing it up so I put 3^x equal to u and i got 13pi/ln3 which seems to be what a lot of other people got.


damn! I should have done that.... That would have simplified everything LOL
Hopefully I can get some method marks for doing volume under curve minus volume of cone...

My answers for this paper were:
1) 2+5x/4-25x^2/64
3rt2/2
181/128
2)(2x-3y)/(3x+8y)=dy/dx
+-(24/5,16/5)
3)x=4ln(2)
12+32ln(2)^2-32ln(2)
4) A=5,1,3
p=15
31.82
d=7.46
5)27/32
a=2 b=-5
6)k=4
4pi/3 + rt(3)/2
7) 1/(p-2) - 1/p
0.473
8) x=2 - 1/ln3
area = 13pi/ln3
this is most of the questions that i wrote down my answers to, I am confident in most of them although I am prone to the occasional stupid mistake so if you disagree then I will not argue with you.


These are the same as all of my answers. Is this a good sign?? :smile:
