Am i the only one that did not get a difference of 8?:(

I hope you do well; but it didn't really help me at all, so i just want to forget and celebrate the fact that no more maths for life!!!

I figured out the Simpson question in the seconds before pens down and scribbled the whole answer in one minute. The cheese question stumped me:confused: ...honestly couldn't care how many cheese packet would fit in a rectangle box but hell those useless math people at board of studies seem to...

Oh thank God...well not that it's good news...But i found it difficult as well:mad: I'm freaking outtt!! How was the Simpson rule question? :P

Just a question... Would it help going over answers now...? Isn't anyone just happy that MATHHHSSSS is over for eternity?!

I'm freaking out; I'm like a headless chicken! It feels like i forgot everything!!!:eek: :burn: :mad:

The answers are wrong, it should be 1/12 1/11; it is not being replaced iii) 11/12 ?

If it was the question such as your example; i would zero because you can assume it's zero as it depicts it. But if it were the other diagram, then i would not use zero because can't assume zero or bring in another value cos they precisely have given us four, therefore i would use the four...

Sorry to put you through the trouble; but look here

My point is that they would not give a diagram without the zero, if it needs a zero. There will never be a diagram with a missing value or four values

BINGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!:karate:

Then why would we use zero; if zero was to be used then, the diagram should have depicted another line with the value of zero; And when we apply simpsons rule twice that's what we do; we take the 1st and 2nd three e.g. a shape that has vales respectively 12,14,16,17,18 you would use 12,14,16...

You can't use zero because the four sides of the shape have values, therefore the values must be used, but considering that there are four sides it can't work; unless you use 8, 10, 19 in the 1st application and 10, 19, 40 in the second

Does the question specifically state that you must use the Simpsons rule?

But how do we know that for the two years after the 8 year annuity, that the money was placed as a lump sum; there is no verification that the money is still considered a lump sum or an annuity; do i make sense? :S

I'm highly dubious that you can calculate using the Simpsons rule for such a question; And who ever said to use zero; you can't because there are four lengths given; which is not correct

A surfactant reduces the surface tension for water to allow the oil and water to mix An emulsifying agent suspends the dirt allowing it to be washed You just need to mention the key words: Surfactant; reduces surface tension Emulsifying agent: suspends dirt Goodluck!

Both the future value and present value formulae are provided in the formulae sheet, but just remember if the question says: 1. 'future value' or value in so and so years; you use the annuity formula; remember that annuities are consistent contributions 2. 'lump sum' or something that...

Did it mention a specific compounding rate, such as compounded anually or monthly? Try using a scientific calculator, you don't want the same mistake tomorrow. Also, remember that the compounding period is not '8', as the question asks for '10', so therefore must 10
