but a pyramid peaks at the point above the centre of the base if ya can follow me the slant was longer than the P.H (i think) anyways if the real height is 184.7 i am happy with my answer.

ya but isnt 184.7 the height of the middle of one of the triangular faces? the slant height at the edge would be slightly longer ya?

Its over guys....stop dweling and getting yourselves down LET IT GO!

I do it through irish so excuse my ****ty triangle terms.
You have to get the line that goes from one corner of the base to the other. Using pythagorus half of that lenth with the height will give you the length of the edge.

yes thats what i did just lookied at paper again the pic has labelled the edge wanted too, still mite be wrong i was pushed for time and didnt have enough to do 2nd part would you use 1/2 base X p.h then multiply it by 4???

I took a look and i shouldn't have.

DiscoMouse

Wow, I might've gotten 10/50 on P2 Q8. I knew I should've learnt a different option...

nedward

Chill out guys. Same as last year, 10% will get As, so many will get Bs, and so on. Everybody did the same exam, and almost everybody thought it was a stinker.

DiscoMouse

10%? Well thank God, I have a chance of making that bracket, at least.

Attractive Nun

It's entirely possible that my exam was fairly good, relatively speaking. But they would certainly find it difficult to find 340 marks or however many it takes to get an A in it.

caesar

This probably sounds stupid, but if the results were bad enough accross the country would there be a curve??

OctavarIan

I'm not lookin at them!

nedward

Like what they were saying in the Times a few weeks back? On another note, what's with all these articles saying the Leaving is too easy? I read one a few weeks back in the Sunday Times where a columnist was talking about her family's Leaving results, and she claimed that her brother got 450 in 1989, and that was one of the top results in Ireland that year. Shurely shome mishtake?

Was there even a points system back then? When my bro did his, you got a certain no. of honours or whatever. Afaik if you got an A, B or C it made no difference, maybe i'm wrong??

casanova_kid

Does anybody else think all the constant uproar in the press is becoming quite concerted. It seems obvious that people are just trying to get the paper marked easier instead of fairly, not that i'm complaining.

Nerd007

i just looked at the results and i did awful!!! hoping for a good few attempt marks! i might pass it then!

It's becoming quite annoying if you ask me.

ssh you! Just because you did well....I really want people to make a fuss!
Ok sorry I'm just bitter!

I just looked at the answers to paper 1 and I really ****ed up...I mean seriously. How can I have gone from getting 95% in the mocks to doing ridiculously ****e?

Raphael

Not because I did well, because it;s annoying to read in the papers "SHOCK, HORROR, MATHS EXAM MAKES STUDENTS USE BRAINS" every day

ok, maybe a little because i did well

DonaldDuck

For 5(a) ( i) on paper 2,I took the values away from pie to get the - numbers,thats hardly incorrect is it?Because I do get the - answers as the results.
( I saw someone elses graph at the end loking completly different from mine and quickly redrew the box with with - numbers to save myself)

i think 186m is right, for the slanted edge of the pyramid. even compare it to the height they tell u of 146m! 273m or whatever looks waaay off!! how many marks u reckon will be goin for the whole b part considering no c part...

I got 273. I also go the tan graph. Remembered what it was supposed to look like from 5th year. What's all this about that not being on the course.

Shark-69

Yeah its definitely in the maths book we used .....we just never did thats section....there's also a sine inverse graph.....i'd seen the tan inverse graph before the exam so i got the graph and the table fully completed:p ....didn get the other parts in part a though ......
Damn those answers.:mad: ...i hate when you've spent ages on a question using the right method only to get the wrong answer by making a blunder.....i must have done that alot ... **** it its done and dusted anyway....not much point really goin on bout it......
If they do give 10% A's then thats alright but just to be certain i think we should continue to express our outrage and dissatisfaction ...

I agree!

What was the big deal about Q5? I'm only looking at it now(not doing LC this year), and it seems like the frist 2 parts are a Juinior Cert graph function, third part is just drawing asymtopes and last part requires a small bit of thinking, although it still does admittidly confuse me a bit(I got -90<k<90).

Quiet, you'll lose us our easy marking.

So yeah maths paper 2 was way too difficult . . .
