Thanks, my answers were largely the same as yours. (Which is a good sign)



I don't really remember them exactly, I took the test paper home and after comparing the answers with the questions, it sort of jogs the memory a bit and you have an idea whether you got it or not!
What is 6(b)iii asking?

I can't remember half of these questions, never mind what my answers were.

On a brighter note, Harold and Kumar 3 opens in cinemas on November 4 (3 days after I finish).

My proof for 9aii)

If AB = AC, and AD = AE (given)
Then BC is parallel to DE (equal intercept theory)

RTP triangle BCF is congruent to triangle DFE
Angle BFC = DFE (vertically opposite)
Angle FBC = FED (alternate angles in parallel lines)
Therefore triangle BCF is congruent to triangle DFE (AAA)

We know BC : DE = 1 : 2,

Hence in similar triangles BCF and DFC

BC : DE = BF : FE (corresponding sides)
Therefore BF : FE = 1 : 2

Is this reasoning correct?
I did this. I think its correct!

that was the easiest 2marks in the whole paper (though it's hard to judge, pretty much 118 out of the 120 marks were REALLY easy, the other 2 were slightly harded)
haha yeh true... it was so easy, took like 2 seconds, so i wasnt sure if i was right lol (cause it took like 2 seconds). :L

Heya this is all good, except for the first part... i don't think assuming that AB=AC and going from there is a valid proof,


the proper proof is AB:AD = 1:2, and AC:AE = 1:2, and angle[DAE] is shared. therefore, triangles ABC and ADE are similar (two pairs of sides in proportion, with included equal angle)

FFFUUUUUUUUUUU...I got ln{(2I/10^-12)-(I/10^-12)} and then I proceeded to bloody cross multiply. If only I had solved it properly, I would have gotten 10ln2 instead of ln2I^2... :(

hmm i thought they meant conscutive days, including 2 consecutive days as well
so i did 1 minus (probability of wearing the same shirt in 2 or 3 consecutive days)
i.e. 1 - [P(RR) + P(BB) + P(RRR)] siiiighh was a bit unclear for me :/

fuked up on 4(e) but i realised that when i first looked back over the paper. Will still get 1 mark for 1 correct inequality. Other than that everything looks good. Confident that i am 100+/120, after seeing this i think my mark should be up near 110.

Can someone shed some light on 8(b)(ii) pleaseee :)
A1 = 29227(1.005) + M(1.005)

A2 = 29227(1.005)^2 + M(1.005)^2 + M(1.005)
= 29227(1.005)^2 + M(1.005 + 1.005^2)

A3 = you get the point


An = 29227(1.005)^n + M(1.005+1.005^2+...+1.005^n)
= 29227(1.005)^n + M(a(r^n-1)/(r-1))

After 240 months An = 800000. So solve the equation when n = 240 and An = 800000. Ends up with the answer in the OP.
