It wasn't too bad, but I don't think it was as easy as many of the trial papers I did. I completed almost every question, except for the last part of q10 and also I somehow forgot the circle and triangle question (completely forgot about trigonometry) but everything else I think I'm good with. So yeah, we'll see how I go after the exam gets marked.

Also for the spiral question it took me a while, a whole heap of crossing out and a lot of scribbling but i finally proved it was a GP! That alone makes me happy, even if i did screw the rest up! >.<
1. First function value was 0, (and last was 0)

2. Ditto.

i was easy

u were given the y intercept at 10 hence the cordinate was (0,10)

then u know y' (when u sub the 4 in) is gradiant

so all u had to do was find the gradiant of (0,10) and i think it was (4,8)

yeh find the gradient of the tangent of the 2 points (0,10) and (4,8) and ull get -1/2. therefore f'(4)= -0.5

A lot harder than I expected.

Didn't get to check it because I was trying to do the last two questions.

I thought there was only 5 so no zeros?

Wasnt the answer 407.5?
Wasn't it six intervals? I can't remember. I can't remember what I got for answer either. But the lillypond question divided perfectly into the area so I assumed it was right. (Seemed perfect)

I apologise and retract my statement, it just seemed like you KNEW it was the CSSA paper and wanted to cheat.

Look around the BoS resource section and do past HSC papers.
