Maths Paper 1

michelle_ie

i know wasnt ordinary level awful- my aunt is a maths teacher and she said everyone is complaining about it

:|

I hate you all, i thought it was really hard!!

casanova_kid

I thought it was a bastard and a half, higher that is. I could barely do a C part. I thought I might get a B for paper 1, but right now, i'd take a C3

Pez

apparently maths -OL might b marked a little bit easier because of the complaints! Did anyone find sequences awful??? i cudnt even answer part (a) and even with the formula for part (c) it wudnt work out!!! cud it have been a misprint? :mad:

michelle_ie

yeah omg the sequences were awful i kept getting stupid numbers ewww it will have to be marked easier or paper 2 will have to be a doddle!

I thought the Honours Paper 1 was grand.

Couldn't get out 2(c) or 6(c) though.

Fumbled with logs for ages on 2(c) and couldn't exactly figure out what had to be done. On 6(c) I just wasn't confident enough with differentiation to do it right.

Other than that I think I got everything fully out

Honours: Didn't think it was toooo bad, but i was by no means ecstatic when I left the exam hall. Did ANYONE get, for 7c... 3 over 9-x^2??? And for 8b(i) did anyone get 609 over 8? Seems like it couldn't possibly be the right answer but a maths genius in my year got the same answer, so I'm hoping it is...

There's other answers I need confirmation on but I've just realised the complete redundancy and pointlessness of this post-mortem...

Could anyone do b(I) as well?On question 3 I got b(ii) and all of c out..but I couldnt get A and B(I)

I got the same for 8(b) Its such a relief to hear you did as well.I was thinking DISASTER whe nI heard that.
For 7c I got the bottom line right,but I ****ed up somewhere on the top line because I got an x

Pez

for OL Q1 (c) (ii) what did people get for the gross increase???? ne1 else get €35...... ?

NADA

I got both those answers and I'm confiedent I got eeverything right. Bring on paper 2. Well I knew the method for them all.

nope
if there was a misprint the supervisor has to tell you at the start of the exam
****ing awful question though
i thought part c's were hard
if i drop my a from last year, i'll be raging

Naikon

Why did you repeat maths if you got an A?

Ehh, they might not be aware? :rolleyes: That question was messed up, seriously.

Hons maths went really well; compared with the past it was very easy; got 7 questions out completely so unless i made 10 blunders ive got de A1. For the integer and t question, i got t is between 0 and 9/11 (i know that was wrong)
Now, an integer has to be a whole number but using (i) the only possible value for t is t=0. Put that into the equation any you get x=0 therefore real roots

Some of the questions i had never seen before... ill be lucky to pass it :mad:

As far as I can remember thats what I got, the sum was €935.

cianclarke

Anybody remember what they got in 3C, iii the very last part?
I don't remember the answer, but I used the (theta)+2n(pie) method (general polar form I think), subbed in n=0, 1, 2, 3 and got a funny square root answer... I'm guessing it was wrong.
Still, got out B and the rest of C. Part A, 0.

helles belles

i think i got something like root 3 for 3c

That's more or less what i did. Got 4 different answers with varying combinations of minuses, root threes, i's and ones.

Edit:
1+/3i
-/3+i
-i-/3
/3-i

Where /3 stands for root three

michelle_ie

see when maths paper 2 is over i swear to god im having a bonfire with my book..

Hmm...I had variations of 4 + 0i

Higher wasnt too bad.
Reckon I got full marks in Q1, 5, and 8.
Perhaps about 40 in Q4, 6, and 7.

i done ok but i couldnt get the second part in c on integration-i got the first part. what answer ya get for Q1 part A. and what did ya get for Q2 part b11 i think-it was the one where you had to find pq=r - i got that bit ok but not sure about the second part.:eek:

And I got some very mad looking fraction-roots. WRONG!
Still, should get most marks I guess.


Integration, C ii - was it the area between 12 and 0 of the g(x) thing, but put in terms of x= (may have been root y over something)???
Or was I way off?

Yeah thats exactly what i got. Excellent. Or else we're just wrong.

Yeah me too, its looking good:D

Raphael

I worked out the roots as well, because the paper said "fully evaluated"

happydance

I got all the root 3 things to.

You know for question 5 ci? I did that by changing the bases, i got a squared think, but I have a log a to the base b and a log b to the base a, anyone eles try it like that? strangely I seem to have got part cii) out so I'm hopeful.

In a way i kinda liked it, there seemed to be less relying on formauls and just on the basic algebra instead, I loved the way there were so many "shows" so you know if your going to right way, A ot of people in my school were saying thought that it wasn't what they expected though!
