For those who have done the cssa math ad, how did you do the . question

How I did it:
1. Derrive f(x)
2. Recognise it to be a GP.
3. There is a limiting sum as it said 0 < x < 1, and r=-x
4. Do limiting sum formula
5. Integrate limiting sum formula to get f(x)
6. Sub in x = a and x = b

just did paper 1 AND IT WASN'T BAD

what question did you have? did you sit the independent paper

 

[person3024]

Yeah my school was supposed to replace that question since we haven't finished series and finance in time for the trials. They replaced 4 other questions but forgot this one. I can do the question now but I was seriously doubting whether I missed something from the logarithm chapters.

is it just me or are some of the multiple choice wrong...

 

[AsuTeksu]

Hi I'm new!
I'm looking for advice on how to deal with overly competitive classmates during the trial period, like the whole hoarding resources thing and having secret private tutoring is something I find incredibly frustrating when people keep bringing it up and I want to focus on my exams and it keeps making me doubt myself as well as just being a distraction. So does anyone know what I should say or how I should deal with this?
Anyway hello to everyone on this forum again and good luck during your trial exams!

Lol don't let others acting like fags affect you, just do your best, also, you don't need to say anything at all, no one's forcing you to.

* you are not entitled to what other people have. like if you don't know some of these people well/only know them because they're in your class, why are you frustrated when they don't share stuff, especially if you don't? people have their reasons to "hoard" or gatekeep what they have. i know two people who have plagiarised module c exemplars that have been passed to them. not going to help that type of academic malpractice. besides, they're likely going to share whatever they have post trials anyways so it doesn't matter.
* "secret" private tutoring? this isn't the classroom of the elite. it's their choice if they want to tell people about it or not. not a big deal. it's not like they're out to get you.

overall, what would you say? just mind your own business. if you don't want to hear about it, just don't talk to them. and people are truly at their worst during trials, this is temporary.

the hsc might feel like it is a race against everyone else and while it is try and look at it as a race between you and yourself, try and beat yourself rather than comparing yourself the others, i know that isn't an easy thing bc i struggle with this myself, but in the end it is up to YOU on how well you perform, ignore how everyone else is doing and how they are going, put that thought and effort into yourself, and you'll see how much more confident you'll feel in your studies, take it easy its not the end of the world xx

for people who did adv cssa today, did anyone do the last question successfully? I think I got part a but idk if me drawing the circle and just waffling will prove that they intersect

I found the tangent to the circle given a gradient of 1, and just waffled about it lying between 2±√3. I had nothing for b)

i would rather DIE than do cssa maths like idk how you guys lived through it

yea exactly, I just said that regardless of the value of the gradient, as long as d is within that domain, it will cross the circle at two points and just drew a random line as an example. Full shambles tho, hoping I get at least 1 for it. for b) i knew we had to use distance formula but i had no clue from there. Guessing there was a shortcut for the question as it was a 2 marker.

 

[bruhmoment.]

ALSO ALSO, for that question which said determine stationary points, point of inflection, and draw the graph. HOW TF DO U KNOW WHICH STATIONARY POINT IS MAXIMA OR MINIMA IF U DONT FIND THE NATURE. like why tf u specifying u dont need to find nature, i literally crossed that line out and just still did the nature. fuck cssa. also sorry for the rant, im just pissed
