    questions 7 and 8 were impossible. Fcuked up vectors and forget cosine rule proof:(. think i got full marks in 3 and 6. overall i'd say i got a b. paper1 was way easier

    Qu6c

    i) 11 choose 4 = 330
    ii) one candidate has to be picked so now you only have 10 to choose 3 from = 120
    iii) Junior cycle 6 choose 2 = 15
    senior cycle 5 choose 2 = 10
    Junior cycle AND senior cycle = 15 X 10 = 150

    iv) Junior cycle only 6 choose 4 = 15
    15 of the 330 possible combinations will have only junior cycle candidates
    15/33 = 1/22

    Well we only covered Q 8 in class, but the Q9 a and b that was on our paper was actually straight forward enough just from the probablity required for the other question,

    any idea how to do question 6 part c and question 1 (b) p2,has been wrecking my head:mad:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 59 ✭✭louise-x


    I was so happy,
    it was a lovely paper.
    Q8 was lovely and easy, no integration by parts, which I HATE.
    :)

    Didnt study at all... but thought i done well :)

    As usual though, questions came up the class has never seen

    Becoming a regular thing with maths :(

    bi: sin4xcos2x-cos4xsin2x
    bii......totally 4got how 2 do it on da day!!
    Q6- a: 66%
    b: 1 over root3(2+root3)n + 2over root3(2- root3)n=o

    any idea how to do question 6 part c and question 1 (b) p2,has been wrecking my head:mad:

    OK, 6 (c) (i)

    there are (x + 5 + 1) = x + 6 total

    r= red x=x w=white
    scenario:
    1. 1r,1x,1w (or)
    2. 1r,1w,1x (or) etc.
    3. 1w,1r,1x
    4, 1w,1x,1r
    5, 1x,1r,1w
    6, 1x,1w,1r


    So my theory was to find the probability of each, and add them together.
    1. 5/(x+6).x/(x+5).1/(x+4) =5x/(x+6)(x+5)(x+4)
    2. 5/(x+6).1/(x+5).x/(x+4) =5x/(x+6)(x+5)(x+4) When I got here, I realized that the total of each is the same for all 6. So the overall probability = 6.5x/(x+6)(x+5)(x+4) = 30x/(x+6)(x+5)(x+4), ans

    now, part (ii)

    all discs black x(x-1)(x-2)/(x+6)(x+5)(x+4)


    let these equal, divisors cancel, 30x=x(x-1)(x-2)

    x^2 - 3x + -28= 0

    (x-7)(x+4)
    x=7 or x=-4

    Cant have -4 discs, ans = 7 (QED)


    I love saying that, couldn't resist!!

    I'm not gonna post it up, but for 1 (b) its in form a^2 + b^2 = r^2,

    therefore, centre: (0,0) and r = \/13 (not needed)

    slope r = 3/2
    Perp. slope = -2/3

    point (2,3) is on the line,

    y-3= -2/3(x-2)

    cuts x axis at y = 0
    -9=-2x+4
    x=(13/2)=K

    Pass paper was very do-able but I stilled messed up, I'm really really bad at maths so I really hope I pass, I reckon I passed the first paper but I'm not sure about this one! Everyone came out really pleased about it and I'm really worried that I failed!

    u are officially my new favourite person!! :D i tout i messed up dat probability but got da very same as you!! :) can u check f ive other answers dat r rite plz?? In danger of not passing!! :(

    um,
    1)
    a)

    i)(x+3)^2 +(x-2)^2=17

    b)
    ii) k = 6.5

    c)

    icant remember , r=5??
    ii) JC maths??

    2

    a)+/5, -5

    iii) ???
    iv)???

    c) lol,remembered half of it

    4


    a)63/65
    b)i) umm, didnt work out
    ii) ???-_-

    C)sr= sin(angel)+1 ..???
    ii) wooo, no idea..

    524 cm^2
    i) acos2x+sinx???
    ii) 0,35,180 ( made it up)

    cii) what??

    8
    i got 1/n = 0??
    b) woooo,i got 8 ??!!-__-
    c) x-x^2/2 +x^4/4!
    ii) ummm,ummm...
    iii) i just sub (o.2) to the thingy in part ii)..

    -___- overall , depressed,like , i prob would get 40%ish..hopully,

    Was the answer to Q1 (A) (X+3)^2 + (Y-2)^2=17:confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 42 Katerrrs


    Was the answer to Q1 (A) (X+3)^2 + (Y-2)^2=17:confused:

    That's what I got anyway, pretty sure it's right!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,673 ✭✭✭mahamageehad


    Was the answer to Q1 (A) (X+3)^2 + (Y-2)^2=17:confused:

    hm i got (x+3)²+(y-2)²=9...........

    Did anyone do question 9? if so is part c 184<x<216? woo exempt form irish! overall not a bad paper, but i still managed to mess it up, its a talent I have :(

    I think I got the same thing for Q9. I cant beleive people do Q8. Q9 is so much easier.

    For Q9 b) iii di u use a= 1/6 and r= 25/36 ???

    I dont Understand Why teachers only do the Calculos Option. No1 seem to do the others. I covered both Q8 and Q9 and Question 9 was probably the easiest on the paper. the only bad part was b) iii I think some people wouldnd know how to do it but Q8 c) was terible When I saw it i decided to do Q9

    Hah we didn't even cover Q9 and I think I got more in that than Q8
