    What answer did you get to the average value out of curiosity?

    Sweet mother divine that was a beautiful paper holy crap <3
    Everything I loved came up, with the exception of Q3 induction, which I knew the first part for and had a vague idea of the other two parts XD

    Few things to run by ye:

    a in the log arithmetic sequence was e^2 or 7.4

    Average value was -8

    Area under the bridge thingy was 239? (Very iffy about that one)

    And for the last q on why the value will always increase, was it because e^kt has no limit? :o

    Same :pac:



    Yeah as a total hater of p1, I reckon I got about 50% in it. Amazing for me!
    First few qs were grand, bit of tricky part Cs.
    Lovely first principles differentiation too!
    Struggled immensely with the last two questions, was expected though.
    Over all, I'm fairly happy :D

    Didn't have enough time to go back over questions I wanted to do.....
    Don't think I got a chance to work out the very last Q fully.

    Anyway it was MUCH nicer than the DEB mock so I should be happy I guess

    NO FINANCIAL MATHS :D:D:D:D:D:D

    3 section B questions were 40, 50 and 60 markers respectively, instead of 3 straightforward 50's

    Overall a nice enough paper happy with how it went. A lot of focus on functions as they're new for this year, 25 markers on complex numbers, proof by induction, functions...financial maths didn't show it's face at all, however sequences and series featured in a 25 marker

    Generally should be considered to be a handy paper

    Was the sixty marker question 9?

    Wasn't the worst paper ever. Some of the questions offered a little bit of a challenge, but most were ok. One of the questions had appeared before though. Not really a paper worth getting excited about;

    Well that was a disaster &#55357;&#56850;
    What happened to financial maths???
    I couldn't even get the first principles question to work out!
    Ah well, I'm better at paper 2 anyway. Maybe that will redeem me...

    Got the same average value and area under curve I think...can't remember the rest.
    I couldn't get PB^2 in that pythagorean q ...looked simple but couldn't get it :o

    **** then I got the wrong value for k in that question hopefully I get a decent amount of attempt marks. Other than that everything seemed fine.

    Don't forget about all the marks they give for method! Even if you're answers weren't spot on for a question like a parabola one but you're method was sound they'll give you the majority of the marks

    Omg I was the same! So I just subtracted the other two eqns from the total and wrote it beside it with some bull****ted workings to make it look like I had a method :pac:
