I thought the test was long but most parts were fairly easy. 1-4 were fine apart from the eccentricity bit in Q4. I could only get e<a/b or something like that. 5-6 were very time consuming but I got through both. Q7 couldn't do the show that s/u<r/p part. Question 8(a) took me a while so I...
k, i'll tackle this question since its this thread is getting pretty dead:
K, here's a question from my trial:
Question 5
a) Show that sin (sin-1x-cos-1x)=2x2-1
b) Hence solve sin-1x-cos-1x=sin-1(5x-4)
How can you compare the two if you have no idea what In the Wild is about? The question practically stated the main theme of the prescribed texts (well Malouf/Wordsworth anyway)
induction for me, followed by an application of the result. I always find those ones very simple while probability questions early in the paper are always so difficult.
I'd hate to be pedantic, but with that question I'd just say the area is equal to a sphere and work from there. But, I think I'd just rotate the x and y axes (if you know what I mean) to X and Y, and use those references. I don't think we'll get a question like that.
Yeah, I'd only prepared for two as well, but I'm doing speeches. I practically just said that Keating used all the same stuff as Lincoln but I practically just did an essay using 2: Havel and Lincoln. It was a pretty good question for speeches though.
Damm, I had no clue it was a brain. I used the hand pointing to his head for that one anyway.
Overall, pretty easy texts. The art review was easy to get techniques out of (language, imagery, similies, paradox etc.)
