that was a horror paper if i ever saw one..i tried doing the James Ruse -3 Trial yesterday and i thought the CSSA one ws even harder!!! they used so much of the logs and 'e'- it was like they mixed up brackets, logs, e, Inx...and asked us to integrate, differentiate, and anything else they could imagine!!
i was hoping 4 maybe high 80's-90's for this one as i thought the past CSSA trials were decent, but this blew me out of the water- im now expecting a 60s+...
wow- long post!

that exam was crazy!!!

the train
the end two areas have to be equal...because the end on the same point.
therefroe 0.5bh = 0.5bh
sub in the values (remeber to convert to hours)
0.5 x (0.3-t) x 80 = 0.5 x (0.3-t) x 100
rerrange for t and you get 1/3 or 20 mins
add then up total of 40 mins
diatacne is area under graph

did anyone else feel that it had absolutely no resemblance to previous CSSA papers? coz i did the 2001 and 2002 for practise and found them pretty straightforward, but geez this one was tricky! i didn't even get to go back to half of what i left...

That was one of the few questions I think I got right. A limiting sum is when the ration between the numbers is between -1 and 1

jinglebell i totally agree, i did like 10 past CSSA Trial papers and they were nowhere as hard as this one. what the hell was wrong with the ppl who made it up- maybe they were having a bad day and decided to take it out on us helpless students..lol~

hmm...mayb thats why our teachers changed ours...we were told we were gonna do CSSA papers, but when I did mine, it was set out by the school, but i think some questions were the same...and they just changed others...mine was alrite except i didnt get to finish, and i had the last couple of questions in Q10 left

I thought the exam was alright.
I couldn't work out e^-x cosx though, (10(b) I think).
Got stuck on the stationary points when:
-e^-x (sinx + cosx) = 0 ?
Qs 9-10 were toughies, but I can probably scab a few marks somewhere. (I proved d/dx (xlnx - x) = logex though, 10(a)?)

i actually got the e^-x(sinx + cosx) one...but i was only up to drawing the graph when time ran out...i was very proud of myself though, i just about fainted when i first saw it
i caouldn't get the one with the triangle, with the sides x, x+1 and 2...i know i should've been able to do it, anyone care to enlighten me?
