Yeah. I reckon most people agree it should be like the blue one. Nevetheless some had done it like the red one.
The question remains would the markers accept the red one? We won't know till HSC feedback day next year. (And as for markers comments posted on NESA's website - they usually wait...
Terry Lee's solutions: http://advancedmathematics.com.au/Resources/2021 Ext1.pdf
He (like matrix) also has said that both solutions are OK for 12a. It will be interesting what will be said at the HSC feedback day next year. At this event the senior markers report on each question that was...
NESA have put the paper up at https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/resource-finder/hsc-exam-papers/2021/mathematics-extension-1-2021-hsc-exam-pack now.
They fixed the picture for 12a having y on vertical axis and x on horizontal axis:
Matrix put their solutions up now at https://www.matrix.edu.au/2021-hsc-maths-ext-1-exam-paper-solutions/
Interestingly they are saying both one eight seven's solution and andi!'s solution for 12a would be accepted.
But I think most people will agree with andi!'s (like the blue one).
They...
I doubt it. Here are another set of solutions, by Nash: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/539340669458841608/911480078913921034/2021_HSC_Mathematics_Extension_1_Solutions.pdf
And you can see they used the same diagram in 12a.
It is not specified in the question that y is a function of x or vice versa. I agree that it's a bit strange. But I don't think it makes any difference.
Didn't include the 13a picture.
Anyway the whole paper is at https://educationstandards.nsw.edu.au/wps/portal/nesa/resource-finder/hsc-exam-papers/2021/mathematics-extension-2-2021-hsc-exam-pack now.
Well it might.
Problem is 12a direction field was on the writing paper - and wasn't uploaded with the rest of the paper. Hence so far there is no way to check if one eight seven's solution to 12a is correct or not.
A similar problem arose in 13a in the Extension 2 paper - and we managed to...

So now we have an answer to 12a. Guess we'll have to wait for NESA to upload the question paper to find the rest of 12a (direction field on...
Nope. I literally got it 5 minutes after it was posted. Unless Jojofelyx also has solutions and posts them up, I'd say give it a day or so for solutions to come out.
