General maths..how did you go???good or bad?? (1 Viewer)

[henry08]

post the paper plz.

 

[lind27]

This paper was fucking shit, it had barely and algebra and trig. I shouldn't have dropped from 2 unit. I swear the paper had more than 30% yr 11 in it which sucks coz i didn't do any of the yr 11 general course.

Paper was shit ( like no trig or any decent algebra)

Fuck u BOS :burn:

Yes, as in length, width and height.

But is that right. I certainly hope so.

oh ok. phew
well if 2 ppl got it and no1 else is commenting!
i cant remember how i got the 41.04 tho... i think i did heaps of weird trig stuff?
how did u get it?

 

[r0kstar]

I didn't get Simpsons rule 28) b)i

Find an expression for the area of the cross-section using TWO applications of Simpsons rule?

Is that just saying use Simpsons rule twice to get the area? O_O

OH CRAP

i did 2(h/3 (0 + 4a+b))

did any1 else do that?

how did u get it?

i think it was 4x the length of the base of the cheese but u dunno how i got that... i think used the sine rule

oh yeh i think that was it... or did i do the cosine rule? :S
haha either way

 

[cait33]

yeah both would have worked

 

[warnieisthebest]

killed the exam. it was easiest maths exam ive ever done. i finished with 45 mins to go and went through and checked it all and was extremely happy. left the exam with 20 mins to spare.

You needed to use the cosine rule to find the width from 2 bottom corners on the cheese slice. There were 4 pieces of cheese all touching at the corners therefor you then had to multiply the side found by 4.

The answer was indeed 41.04

The other 2 sides were pretty straight forward.

The height was just the radius of the cheese wheel = 15cm

The width was the 3 times the width of the cheese block
1 = 7cm
3 = 21cm

Any other problems with the paper?

The only one I wasn't sure about was
28. b) i)
Find an expression for the area of the cross-section using TWO applications of the Simpson's rule.

I just wrote out the formula twice lol

h/3(4a+b)
h/3(4a+b)

then talked about how they needed to be added together?

What did other people get? Am I wrong?

 

[r0kstar]

wat did evry1 get for the lame timezone/flight question?
timezones r so confusing

 

[chelsea491]

Did anyone get the very last question as B had to be -8, as A was increased by 2

 

[SleepDeprived]

wat did evry1 get for the lame timezone/flight question?
timezones r so confusing

Distance = 8378km

Flight time = 9 hours

Local Arrival time = Wednesday 12pm (noon)

yeww!
yeh i think u needed to add em together or just say ur meant to times them by 2?

Yep it was -8

 

[r0kstar]

omg!!!
yay!
i cant believe i got that!!
i can never ever do timezones!

 

[SleepDeprived]

yeww!

Fair enough, I read the question and was like "WHAT THE HELL?"

Who else forgot how to work out percentage error? Lol

 

[SleepDeprived]

omg!!!

lol nice!
One of my mates read that question where it says "ignore time zones" and so didn't add the 5 hours difference. Poor guy...

 

[SleepDeprived]

I had like 20 minutes left at the end of the exam, after I checked it and everything and went through my paper and wrote in all my answers into my question book before I left so I can check and see what mark I got. Pretty sure its +95 WOO!

 

[r0kstar]

wat did evryone get for 28aiv), 26c and 26 aii and iii?
sorry!
but im rly stressing bout this damn exam!

 

[channelly]

How did anyone manage to get the answer for the last question, the size of b if a is increased by 2? the simpsons rule one, its the only question that puzzled me!
