the locus with the circle, drawing that stupid graph took me 3-4 min,, caz we have to use bloody compasses, or we lose marks... does ur school make u guys do that? and i heard from my tutor in hsc its ok to freehand as long as u put radius, centre, and maybe provide a eqn'.

yeh we have to draw "perfect" and half page diagrams, if we dont.. possible deduction of marks.. but i dont think its ever happened!

Hmm...
Let's see. I didn't get:
Q1c(ii), Q2e(i), Q3b(ii), Q4c(ii), Q5b(ii), Q6c(iii)/(iv) (lost 2 marks), Q8c(i)/(ii) (did some but ended up with a maximum volume slightly different to the one given) - Q7 was a replacement for me.

Did you guys have to use t-formulae for the first integration question?
I fudged Q5b(iii) but got the answers and it didn't seem like I could 3/3 for the few lines of working I actually did...so I'm slightly pessimistic about that one.

And with Q4c(iii): was the locus y=1 with a restriction of x=/0?

 

[FinalFantasy]

^ yea that integration q
int. (1-sinx)\cos²x dx=int. (1-sinx)\(1-sinx)(1+sinx) dx
then a t formula

what was that Q5biii)? was it the tan2@ one?

 

[David_O]

x<0, x>= 1

damn I am bored.

edit: integ: sec^2x - secxtanx

 

[FD3S-R]

^ yea that integration q
int. (1-sinx)\cos²x dx=int. (1-sinx)\(1-sinx)(1+sinx) dx

wtf ∫ (1-sinx) / cos²x dx
= ∫1/ cos²x- secxtanx dx
= tanx - secx + c
???

thats what i did

yeh i use t-formulae for that one.. and i got locus of y=1 as well.. but i thought it was wrong and couldnt establish a 'domain or restriction... so i left it.. damn!

I put inverse tan sqrt sinx

True...well, at least my method isn't wrong. It's just another way of expressing it.

On that note...even if your method is different, thus yielding a different result to the one in the criteria, you would still get full marks wouldn't you?

I got the same mate im pretty sure its right coz 1/cos^2 X is sec^2 X=tanX etc did u use substution for the sinX/cos^2 X?

 

[lum]

yup, lots of intergrals can be intergrated in more than one way, doesn't matter which method you use, as long as it's corret

 

[FinalFantasy]

wat?? no one did it my way?
so which one's right?

That's cool...particularly with trig. which can have so many variations.

 

[~ ReNcH ~]

wat?? no one did it my way?
so which one's right?

They're both right afaik...I did it your way and ended up with something like 1/[2+tan(x/2)]

 

[FinalFantasy]

cool
-----------

 

[noah]

u sound like you did well, what schools u guys go to?

the locus with the circle, drawing that stupid graph took me 3-4 min,, caz we have to use bloody compasses, or we lose marks... does ur school make u guys do that? and i heard from my tutor in hsc its ok to freehand as long as u put radius, centre, and maybe provide a eqn'.

for probability, did anyone else get p = 2/7 or 3/7? it's something on 7.

im pretty sure it was 4/7 or 7/4 or something

 

[lum]

They're both right afaik...I did it your way and ended up with something like 1/[2+tan(x/2)]

what? i did it wif t method too, but i got -2/( tanx/2 +1)

 

[FinalFantasy]

int. (1-sinx)\cos²x dx=int. 1\(1+sinx) dx
let t=tan (x\2)
dx=2dt\(1+t²)
int. 1\(1+2t\(1+t²) ) * 2dt\(1+t²)
=int. 2dt\(1+t²+2t)=int. 2dt\(1+t)²
=-2\(1+t)
=-2\(1+tan (x\2) )

rench said "something like...." so maybe he just didn't type it properly here

 

[tim_dawborn]

why not just say that it was a pretty shite paper all rounded

 

[ishq]

The marks wil tell

 

[lum]

nah, i arldy know how i went, it can only become worse with time
