most did A in our school

I said A, it was a very stupid question, with a lot of the answers being subjective. It's maths, nothing should be subjective.

I'm pretty sure it was A because its the only statement that was 100% right..

Ah we'll see in August :P

I must say that the project maths is just a waste of time tbh..

What did people get for the height of the cone q8 I got 10 but I think I'm wrong

The answer was C for Q6 C(ii). It can't be A because the cars haven't suddenly become very popular over the last 2 years. There's only an increase of around 3,000 diesel cars sold in 2010 compared to the amount sold in 2009. Not exactly a huge jump

its not 100% right though because they havent "suddenly" become popular they were popular in 2006 aswell. E just made the most sense to me but it was a very bad question

E says diesel cars have been getting less popular as the sales rise again . But as the sales rose the diesel cars doubled ( 30-60k )

got 12 for the full thing, 4 for top part.


Also for that diesel question i said that diesel cars were growing in popularity with a big increase in 2009, as i think the question was asking for it as a percent of total cars sold?

Huge jump ? It doesn't say huge jump... It just says that the sales of diesel cars have increased in the last year OR two

Don't know how yous can hack looking at this thread! I'd feel depressed from all the stuff I got wrong

I put down A I just remembered I was thinking of putting E down too. Then I saw the less part instead of more so I'm not sure.

What's the "trapezoidal rule" it's on the simpsons rule question is that just a fancy word for simpsons rule I've only just noticed that word now.

stmacsmagician

It's a different rule completely.

I did my LC 10 years ago and thought it was alright today.

Everyone is giving out about Q7, I didn't have time to do it and didn't want to go near it anyway!

In retrospect, reading this thread is the wrong thing to do, I was feeling great up until now!!!

Oh 'cause I just realised I used simpsons rule for that question I didn't really read the question I just saw the diagram and assumed it was the simpsons rule formula.
