What did every one get for the log questions where you have to find w?

Also for integration question on the first page. When the second part didn't have the limit, did you put +c at the end?

How did you find the paper?

I found the log w question a bit weird, I got something like w=a^3 + 3x^4? Can't really remember though!
And yes you have to put +c for one mark :smile:
Overall I thought it was ok, although time was a big issue with section B!

I didn't get that for the log quesions. Think that's the correct answer as all the other people I talked to got that.

I though section B was good compared to section A. For the surface area question i got r as 3.99 and surface area as 101. For the car park meadow and pond question I got 93.7% or 94.7% can't remember which one though. And for the last question I got n as 25

w = 1/12 x^4
That's what I got

Do you remember the exact question for the log question?
i think it was logw = 3 + logx^5 - log2x + log6
i got
3a^3x^4

if you put r as 3.99, back into the equation for A you should have ended up with 300.49... which should be rounded to 301 or 300.5
Guys what did you get for the last question for n???? I got 26 years???

Would it be okay if you rounded 3.99 to 4.0 but left the minimum point as a surd

rounding is fine as long as youve shown somewhere in your working you got the value of r to be 3.99.... etc,
if you just straight worked out r to be 4, then im not sure if you would get the mark.

As for the surd form, im not too sure, it depends on the examiner. I think as long as youve shown ur substitution of r back into the equation for A, and simplified that should be fine.
How do you find the minimum radius r?? I took the second differential and made it equal to 0 and got r as 5 and that was the wrong answer :tongue:
What did everyone get for the car park field percentage?
This is what I can remember, random order :/

1)
a) Integral 5 to 1: 4xdx = [2x^2] = 50 2 = 48.
b) Integral: 6x^1/2 = 4x^3/2 + c

2)
a) (log0.2)-(log0.1)/(0.2-0.1) = 3.01
b) Plot c in between a and b

3)
Logaw = 3 + logax^5 + loga6 loga2x
Logaw = logaa^3 + logax^5 + loga6 loga2x
Logaw = loga(6a^3x^5) loga2x
Logaw = loga(6a^3x^5/2x)
Logaw = loga(3a^3x^4)
W = 3a^3x^4

4) Y=2x^3. Normal at x = 2. y = 16. Dy/dx = 6x^2. Dy/dx = 24. Normal = -1/24. Equation: x + 24y = 386.

5)
a) Cosine rule. a^2 = 32^2 + 15^2 - (2 x 32 x 15 x cos116). AE = 40.86….
b)
Perp. Distance from AE to D.
Area ADE = 1/2 absinC = 1/2 x 32 x 15 x sin116 = 215.7.
Area ADE = b x h x 1/2.
215.7... = 40.86... x h x 1/2
h = 10.55… > 10. Therefore pond lies in triangle.
c)
Area of pond = 116/360 x Pi x 10^2 = 101.22…
Area of ADE = 215.7…
Area of meadow = 114.48…
d)
Angle C = 360 - 90 - 90 - 116 = 64.
Use that to work out total length of base of trapezium = 70 something.
Area of trapezium = 1/2 x (32 + 70 something) x 80 = 4120.74…
Area of car park = trapezium ADE = 3905.033…
90% of trapezium = 3708.66…
3905>3708 so carpark takes up more than 90% of field.

6)
6cosx^2 = 5 - sinx
6(1-sinx^2) = 5 - sinx
6 - 6sinx^2 = 5 - sinx

11th year Asif = £40000. Bettina = £40722. Bettina had more
b)
Total after 17 years.
Asif = 646000. Bettina = 646000 (to the nearest hundred). The same
c)
Total > £M.
25000(1.05^n 1)/1.05-1 > M
25000(1.05^n 1)/0.05 > M
25000(1.05^n 1) > 0.05M
500000(1.05^n 1) > M
(500000 x 1.05^n) 500000 > M
500000 x 1.05^n > M + 500000
1.05^n > (M + 500000)/500000
log1.05^n > log (M + 500000) log500000
nlog1.05 > log (M + 500000) log500000
n > (log (M + 500000) log500000)/log1.05
n = 25 or 26 :/

8)
a)
Stretch parallel to y-axis SF 2.
b)
Translation (3 0)

9)
Curve goes through (2,10)
Dy/dx = 12x^3 - 7
Equation of curve: y = 3x^4 -7x + c
c = -24
y = 3x^4 -7x - 24

10)
a)
V = 400
400 = Pi r^2 h
h = 400/Pir^2
A = 2Pir^2 + 2Pirh
A = 2Pir^2 + 800/r
b)
dA/dr = 4Pir -800/r^2
d2A/dr2 = 4Pi +1600/r^3
c)
Min value of r = 3.992..
d2A/dr2 = 37.6... > 0 Therefore minimum.
A with this value = 300.53.. = 301

11)
a) Sketch graph y = 2^x. Goes through (0,1)
b) ?

12)
a)
Sum of (3r + 2) from 1 to 5 = 5 + 8 + 11 + 14 + 17 = 55
b)
AP First term = 4.2. Sixth term = 1.8.
4.2 + 5d = 1.8
5d = -2.4
d = -0.48

For the integral question it was asking to integrate
dy/dx = 12x^3 - 7, given that the curve goes through (2,10)

so c should be =-24

So you needed to find the perpendicular distance from AE to D, which is the height of the triangle ADE, and AE is the base

Thanks goodness. So we didn't have to show that the pond lies in the triangle? Thanks btw
