General Thoughts: Mathematics Extension 2 (3 Viewers)

[hscishard]

Ok guys, I get it. I couldn't see the simple crossing out. ><

 

[bobthebuilder94]

anyone gonna write up some solutions, really wanna see how Q8s done, cause for b, i did a shit load of working, that it can be "obviously deduced" that the inequalities are correct, and had like massive fudges haha
Q1:13-14 integration very easy, but made silly mistake in partial fractions, -___- anyone know if i'll get a mark for equating the coeficents and stuff, tbh idk how that partial fraction was done..anyone?
Q2: 15
Q3: 13 -___- wrote pi/2, instead of 2/pi for the limit, the e--> infinity wrote it becomes a rectangular hyperbola tehehhe (silly, cause they have e=sqrt(2)) haha
Q4: 9-11 tangent Q, didn't realise how easy c ii) was -__-
Q5: 8 no clue what reflection property was
Q6: 9 - fk jac and jill
Q7: 10 - I?
Q8: 3-8 - depnding how good my 8b fundge was didn't realise it was easy probability

so total of: 80 ~ 83
:'( thought i;d get a band 6 in ext 2...not anymore

I reckon I'm sitting on 100/120, hopefully no other stupid mistakes. Not a bad test, imo.

 

[silence--]

idk

i agree with mirakon/whoever else said that the problem was time.

fucking question 3 took like ages, where are all the easy 1 mark graphing questions :/

got like max of 8/15 for q8 (if im lucky)

also i screwed up some easy questions like finding I and shading the wrong region for the locus (fucking lol)

argh.
idk.

at least its over now.

Re: paper

that fucking mech question where u had prove something about halving the speed. WTF???? and question 8..... well i was really close to part a) rest i didn't have enough time

 

[02oxygen]

wow you guys all found it relatively easy?? i did so bad compared to you all..
my hsc is fucked.. but yea it wasnt that hard. just found some question hard.

Re: paper

To make all you guys feel better, I personally felt progressively drained as I worked. q7 and 8 share approx 9 marks earned between them, so im hoping for about 85.

Good luck with your results. not point curling up into a ball in depression... we got ext1 to do!.

agreed!!!

The confusing partial fractions meant you had to get a common denominator with the first two fractions (a/x and b/x^2) of x^2, then simplify the top. So, ax + b/x^2. Then the rest is normal.

ohhhhh,,, i feel so retarted atm

It could have been done another way.
1/(x-1) - 1/x - 1/x^2

 

[rawrence]

Fucked it hard. Mind blank in resisted motion

 

[HyperComplexxx]

Fucked it hard. Mind blank in resisted motion

i know that feel bro...fucked up probabilty
Wasted nearly 10 minute think about resisted motion, vT, v, vO lol couldnt figure out the variables

Erhh...they set it up for you already, so you just needed to do it normally. Combining the first two fractions is unnecessary.

I guess the only way one would think it was confusing, is if they hadn't learned the repeated factors rule/method (but not required by the syllabus).

 

[rawrence]

After that jac and cunting gil question, you guys are talking about the partial fractions q?!

The first two parts were pretty easy (or should I say common if you did Cambridge questions) for the resisted motion; I got part of the last part, but just moved on when I got nowhere with it.

 

[rawrence]

btw, what did you guys get for

?

I got Ln3, think it's totally wrong though

 

[D94]

I got Ln3, think it's totally wrong though

I don't exactly remember, but ln(3) was definitely part of the solution, or at least the working out.

As if, the first and last part was easy i didnt get anywhere with the second though

Well done, but I didn't learn content outside of the syllabus, so I did it the easier way of just getting a common denominator.
