I can't remember exactly what it was cos I had absolutely no idea where to start. It involved integration with limiting sums or something. :(

I KNEW IT.

I really hope someone from the BOS Meat (Winter one) had the CSSA as their paper for MX2. I bashed those questions into them pretty hard.

Thought it was a pretty easy test besides Q16. Hoping for 80ish% (skipped 13 marks of Q6).

It was doable for most parts.... besides the last one! I basically skipped the entire question :/

the one about find the coordinates of c was also quite difficult, not sure if i got it correct.

no thats not what i did. i solved the equation simultaniously with y=c and then found the two solutions subtracted them from each other to find the length of the side and then equated it with c. however not too sure tbh.

Well, im pretty sure the y-coordinate of C was 0. So I think I got half of the answer out.

Fairly good paper... stupid question with the line and the graph screwed me up....

i got parts of question 16.. but skipped 4 marks in Q16.

WTF... was that hard out equation with the sigma and than "assume infinity"

Other than that.. did good...

Yes... you find T1 and T2 by themselves. Than you divide. The thing you need to recognise is that tan theta = r/h. and u use that fact to simply T1/T2 to get 5:3

:)

Anybody do the sigma question ????

Last part of last question was only limiting sum so is a/(1-r) correct where a =1 and r = 4/9 (i think)???
