Is someone going to upload some solutions??

I got a concave down parabola with TP at 1 and roots at -2 and 3.
Don't know if that's right though. :s

You're probably right.. I got 2 upward concave in my graph.. my graph looks very weird

minimum s.p. at (-2,0) , max at (1, ...) and cuts x-axis at x = 3

well you have SPs where f'(x)=0, so surely the derivitive graph=0 where there were SPs on the original graph... Doesn't it?

idk, now I'm doubting myself.

any estimates for band 5? lel

~65 cut off maybe

 

[zeroni]

ah okay, cheers. Hopefully I'm not *too* fucked

I think the exam was a little easier (compared to 2013), wouldn't it be higher?

The maybe high 60s, definitely not in the 70s for the cut off though

can anyone (if bothered) post the answers up for the MC ? i hope i got them right :/

A is horizontal pt of inflexion, therefore at A, y' = 0 (reason why it touches x-axis) but values to the left and right of A will not change the sign of y' (we can see that y' > 0 for A < x and x> A). therefore the reason for a minimum at A

B is a pt of inflexion, meaning that y'' = 0 which means a maximum above the x - axis as y' > 0 for B < x and x > B.

lastly because there is a maximum at C, i'll cut the x-axis from above as y' > 0 for C < x and y' < 0 for x > C

therefore shape of derivative graph is \/\

i think theres a thread about MCQs already, could try looking there

what was the band 6 cut off for last year and the year before that? :S

These are all from memory. Im not working any out again lol

1. A
2. B
3. D
4. C
5. B (i think)
6. D
7. B
8. A or D (the answer is B or C lol i fkd up)
9. A
10. A

Did I mess up anywhere?

i believe 8 is supposed to be C and 10 is D

First one is B. 99% sure

Isnt it 5 is D?

;( Yes, you're right...
Would I get 2/3 because I had it right at B and C, and I at least knew it touched the axis at A?

no mate, that'll give both equations positive gradients therefore can't be perpendicular to each other

 

[phcan]

Omg same here i think i left like 20 marks worth of questions fml

I wanna cry T_T
Forgot it says perpendicular
