Can you describe? Do you mean transformations of graphs? What module is your AS exam?

i mean those graphs of sine and cosine from 0 to 180 curves .those stuff you get it??

I 'm so tired and bored....how can maths be revised??!
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: sanity_master on October 13, 2009, 04:43:36 pm
just by solving past papers.....its very useful.....cuz math is volatile if thats the word.....studying wont offer much help....just practice the past papers...to get used to the exam format and the questions.....



P.S: r u in st.Fatima skul in cairo?? :D

i just wanted to discuss nov o8 maths pure 1( cie)
it's very hard and tricky especially the vectors question and the wire problem?! [

OMG my exam's tomorrow! aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh :'( :'( :'( >:( :o :o
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: nid404 on October 14, 2009, 03:31:38 pm
I just hope I'm not too late

for the wire question
4x+2pir=80
r=80-4x/2pi

Area=x2+pi. r2
substitute 80-4x/2pi for r

x2+(pi X (80-4x)/2pi)2


when u open it u get
x2+ (p X 6400-640+16x2)/ 4pi2
to make denominator same
(4pi x2+ p X 6400-640+16x2)/ 4pi2
reduce...that is divide by 4 and group common terms

(pi+4)2+1600-160/ pi

for the second part

dA/dx= 2x(pi+4)x-160/ pi= 0
solve to get value of x

I will try the vector sum...but I haven't done it in class...so it will take some time

What happened? You can't walk out of an exam counting up all the marks you think you lost.
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: mayyoya92 on October 15, 2009, 04:35:28 pm
i don't think i was counting marks i lost,but i was counting marks i GAINED! :-\

mr.Paul.....this xam was not pleasant.....it was the hardest math AS xam i have ever solved....not by questions or stuff, it just needs more time than it should do
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: mayyoya92 on October 15, 2009, 04:42:30 pm
EXACTLY!,we needed more time cuz each problem had a different and difficult idea...
hope curve is low!
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: falafail on October 15, 2009, 04:43:40 pm
yeah, it was terrible, wasn't it?
i'm pretty sure i lost at least 16 marks; skipped the whole trigonometry question and the part about that acute angle and tangent thingie in the last question.

balls.
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: mayyoya92 on October 15, 2009, 04:45:47 pm
i think you had different version cuz there was no acute angle in my exam

i'm doing S1 actually D:

By the way, is M1 easier than S2? 'cause i sortof have to decide what to do this year, and i just assumed S2 would be easier, but everyone's been telling me to do M1 instead.  :-\
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: sanity_master on October 15, 2009, 05:09:31 pm
M1 is not hard at all...if u practice it well and understand it..........its easier than pure 1 in my opinion
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: mayyoya92 on October 15, 2009, 05:49:22 pm
yeah,but sometimes there're very tricky questions,especially in friction and work,power and energy
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: falafail on October 15, 2009, 05:54:34 pm
"trickier" than S2, do you think?  :-\
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: sanity_master on October 15, 2009, 05:59:41 pm
M1 and S1 are much easier than S2 and M2.........some ppl say M2 is mission impossible :D

i mean, dont risk it by taking S2 unless u r very gd and u r confident......but i say take M1 and S1.....thats wt ppl usually do, to get the best grades.....they dont take M2 or S2
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: mayyoya92 on October 15, 2009, 06:02:42 pm
yeah i'm taking s1 next year i.s.a

Post by: falafail on October 15, 2009, 06:06:37 pm
i'm doing S1 on the 4th of november XD
it's all just knowing how to use formulas, 'cause they give them to you and everything.. so i thought maybe S2 would be similar?
oh well. M1 it is.  :(
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: sanity_master on October 15, 2009, 06:10:05 pm
i dont wanna direct u to something......i dont knw hw the S2 is....im just saying wt ppl r doing.....ask about the S2, maybe u will like it better
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: falafail on October 15, 2009, 06:13:08 pm
oh, i'm pretty sure i won't like either of them, so i'm just going to do the easier one, hah. i appreciate your help, either way.
plus if most people are doing M1 instead of S2 then it's bound to be easier! :D
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!

guys i need help in mechanics ,i don't understand the concepts of work energy and power,
work done against friction ,pot. energy and those stuff...hope i'm not too late. :'(
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!
Post by: nid404 on October 16, 2009, 11:16:23 am
give some questions....they may help clear ur concepts
Title: Re: AS maths exam after two days..and i'm doomed!!

how we can find work done against friction....no need to put numbers just explain!
