I feel just the same as I did after the Pre.

Not good, that.

questin 2 B was hard...i got it out somehow though:D the other 2 points were something like (0,4)(0,-4) i just subbed in the (3,0) into the distance formula and seeing as X2 had to be 0,was left with the problem of finding Y2,seeing as 3 squared is 9.....it had to be 4 or -4 as the length was 5...the square root had to add up to 25 and whoooop it did

I was wondering whether i got that question right or not but that's exactly what i got. We can't both be wrong, can we?

It was a good enough paper but there were some very tricky parts.
I ran out of time and only got part a done in my last question:rolleyes:
But maths is my only OL subject so won't be counting it anyway.

What did everyone get for Simpson's Rule?

5% for part (ii) anyway.

Q2 was shocking, glad I done 6 questions in Section A. Others were doable, probability was great and I thought myself that.:cool: Hoping for a B2 maybe a B1.

Maths P2 OL was challenging enough to be honest.
Lot of C parts caught me out and I had to really really think so my timing was screwed up.

Part C (ii) Area and Volume?
Part B The Line!
Part C (ii) The Circle?
The bearing of the boat in Trig? WTF?!

But pleased over all.

And I got 5% too!

I got it too, so it's unlikely that we're wrong.

That said, I didn't know how to get it out the proper way, I worked it out in my head, and wrote it down. I'll probably lose marks for not showing out my work, but at least I'll have picked up a few marks for getting an answer rather than leaving it blank.

Generally, I was delighted with the paper. It was tricky, but I did alot of study yesterday and I'd be confident I got an A in paper 2, or at least a high B. I actually didn't do as well on Paper 1, where I managed to completely forget how to do a few part Cs.

Anyone get the last part of the Linear Programming question? Someone mentioned it, less than 7200 or something? Hadn't a clue how to do that. Also, how do you show the inequality y > 0 on a graph, or whatever it was?

Yeah, it's 5%. Simpson's rule I got 137m^2.

There were some tricky bits in it (bearing of the boat wtf?)..... hopefully will get a B though. I got the 2 Linear programming inequalities but didn't have enough time to go past the graph.... did vectors too though:cool:

I got the 137m^2, how the hell did I get the other part wrong.


Did anyone get part ii on question 1.C.?

1C(ii) I got 5cm. I'm pretty sure I'm wrong .

All you had to do was put in 2.25 for the height in the cylinder volume equation. I couldn't do that part at first, but went back to it when I had all my other questions done. Luckily, it came back to me and when I put it in it worked out perfect. Those questions are always phrased to sound far more challenging than they are.


Question 5 was definitely my weak point. I picked up hardly any marks on that question so I decided to do a sixth question in section one, which was question 7. Think I did alo better on that one.

137 = 100%
1.37= 1%
7/1.37 =

I though vectors was pretty tough this year.

Bearing of the boat was simple, never seen a compass before? o.o

whats the answer to the last part on q 11? its show the region where the profit is at most 7200?

i divided by the profit for each 800 and 900 i think! got (0,8) and (9,0) or the reverse, then just plot and draw arrows!!!

i think...

That reminds me; I actually managed to leave my compass at home. Today. The one day I actually needed it. I know you're not supposed to, but I wrote the examiner a little note. Told him it got broke in my bag.

FeistyOneYouAre

pure free hand circle. ha

did anyone just get one line for q11 part b?!
usually its two lines but i only got 1.

annatar91

jesus that paper 2 was so easy !!!

That boat thing was ridiculous, I felt like writing "Sorry I couldn't answer this, I get seasick!"

Vectors and probability were amazing, Trig would have been fine except for that stupid bearings thing...

Overall I think it went alright.

Not really actually, what on earth would I be using a compass for?
wanna explain what bearing means?

karloneill23

my supervisor is a maths teacher and i wrote all of my answers on my exam book and after he went trough it with me and said i got full marks on all q's!!!

delighted

i was bricking it going in but when i saw the paper i just calmed down straight away!

think its the angle we see in relation to nsew.
for the answer in that i wrote N71.2degW or sumtn close!!
didnt know but then looked back up in the question part before that and saw that the lighthouse made a bearing NxxxxW or sumtn lyk that..
feck.. just thinkn bout it now i think i did it wrong when i picture it in my head on the paper..... think its along those lines tho!!!

he went through it with you?

Well that cant be allowed.
