What did you think? Post it here for rep ..

(If I owe you rep elsewhere, I am getting around to it ...)

Please scan the exam paper so that Jeff Geha can write up answers for you!

Thanks to Managore (Q3 - 10):

Good luck for those who are doing the test.

 

[Stilla]

I'm not at school doing the test because i do Tard maths.

 

[mizz_smee]

it was an okay test!
but i already cannot get a bad 6 yipee for me!
i didn't answer some questions totaling about 10 marks
and thats not including the ones that i guessed
i thought it was okay
bettet then last years
q 10 was actually quite doable

 

[disco_dave]

THAT WAS S-H-I-T... i cant believe how bad i did. i was feeling alright going in but came out anangry demon!! ARGH

stupid BOS!!

 

[ShatteredDreams]

2 Unit Maths is my *STRONG* subject.
I thought I was going to ace this exam soooooo easily.



I can't begin to stress how much I stuffed that test up.
I was looking at the test to begin with and going "wow, I should have like an hour to spare after I finish to check over my answers"

And then by the time I "finished" (with about 20 gaps), There was like 15 minutes to go until the end and I paniced like hell.

God damn that test was insanely fucked up.


Bye bye high UAI.

 

[disco_dave]

that was my thought shattered... maths was meant to help my UAI. im not sure it will even be counted towards it now!

arrgh, still so angry. i could see how to do some of it but it just wouldnt work!! noooo

 

[Managore]

I fucked it up, but it was an easy exam. I made so many STUPID mistakes.. eg 9Bii is obviously 4, and yet I stupidly put 2.. GODDAMMIT

 

[Willmaker]

I thought it was an easier paper compared to previous years, especially q10. I was expecting it to be a little harder.

 

[ShatteredDreams]

er... crap
I put 3 for 9)b) ii)

cuz... that's the point where the particle starts going the other way....

isn't it?

I don't know maths

 

[acmilan]

The only question im not sure of was tha probability one about the sum being <45, what did people get for it?

 

[Managore]

I'm scanning 7-10 now

 

[~*HSC 4 life*~]

doable...but long!


i can scan the paper, but it's got my scribbles all over it!

 

[disco_dave]

er... crap
I put 3 for 9)b) ii)

cuz... that's the point where the particle starts going the other way....

isn't it?

I don't know maths

thats what i put... same reason!

 

[Managore]

9cii: No, you needed to acceleration to cancel out + with - , thus the time when velocity hit 0 again, and that was at 4=t

 

[acmilan]

er... crap
I put 3 for 9)b) ii)

cuz... that's the point where the particle starts going the other way....

isn't it?

I don't know maths

I think i put t = 4 because at that point the area above the x-axis cancels the area below the x-axis meaning velocity becomes negative and it starts moving back to the origin

The only question im not sure of was tha probability one about the sum being <45, what did people get for it?

Over 99%
but dont trust me

 

[Willmaker]

The only question im not sure of was tha probability one about the sum being <45, what did people get for it?

What I did was find the probability of you getting higher that 45 which ended up to be:

(1/6 x 1/6) x (1/6 x 1/6) x 2 - 5x5 then 5x5 or 5x5 then 5x4 is the only way you could get higher than 45 so I then went 1-(that answer) which ended up to be 647/648. Of course I could be wrong but thats the way I did it.

 

[acmilan]

I got over 99 also

 

[TJ297]

I think i put t = 4 because at that point the area above the x-axis cancels the area below the x-axis meaning velocity becomes negative and it starts moving back to the origin

I put t = 5 cause the particle goes forward three, stops, goes back 6. but thinking about it now, I think it was t = 2
