Haha Yep.

That crazy modulus one will probably throw me a little.

Will give it a crack tomorrow!

Thanks.

Hey matty since you're a maths genius write up solutions to this exam for us :P

I thought you were the maths genius?

Why don't you post up your solutions then others can critique - just like it is done in the English boards.

I am willing to help where I can though; but I'm way too lazy to type up full solutions. (Plus I'm likely to get things wrong - not such a good thing in "solutions"...)

I was subtly responding to your karma msg....I thought you'd get it lol

Maybe after thursday, when I don't have to freak out about English!

Hey guys :)

I asked him for solutions and i will have them soon~

Tell me what you guys thought of it cuz he is going to continue to write more for his tuition.

needs to be more challenging

Whoa, maybe i'm just weak in methods, but this paper crushed my confidence :|
please dont tell me the vcaa exam 1 will be like this...
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: m@tty on October 27, 2010, 10:30:50 pm
It will be very, very different.

There will probably be only 1 question of the difficulty of the hard ones in here.
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: Souljette_93 on October 28, 2010, 01:26:53 pm
Heys inspire; can we get the solutions for this?
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: inspire on October 28, 2010, 02:19:13 pm
I am getting the solutions on Monday!
I'll post them up them~

Yeah i agree this was really hard it sorta tested your understanding of concepts more than how many exams you have done :S
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: googoo on October 28, 2010, 02:49:05 pm
they are all standard vcaa questions. Q11b,c are spesh qs.
Q8 has a common denominator
Q6 f(x)=|2x-x^2| for x>/=0, symmetrical about y-axis.

i will do it now and post up my answers tomorrow morning, this is my contribution to the maths forum as you guys can set about telling me how im wrong...that way we all learn, also i am not the best at maths as i am hoping to get a 37+ raw..i aint going for a 50 so dont kill me when i get half wrong...
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: LachyMc on October 29, 2010, 12:10:11 pm
umm, i just tried to do the exam and realized i have no idea on literally a half of it...No point uploading my answers i guess...

The heights of boys in year 12 are normally distributed with a mean of 175cm and a standard deviation of 10cm. it is known that pr(Z>0.5)=0.3

a) Using this info find probability that a boy selected at random is greater than 170cm

b) find probability that a randomly selected boy is more than 180cm given that his height is above mean

Post by: inspire on November 04, 2010, 04:16:02 pm
Since everyone was asking for solutions.
BUT i couldnt obtain the solutions.

This is what i got as the answers:

1. m>8/5
2. N member of R/+-Root2/9         P member of R
3. (2^3X11)/3^11
4.a) Hybrid function
b) loge(2/3)
c) Forgot >.>
5. (kpi)/2 +- pi/6    k member of Z
6.  a)Do on calculator
b) x = 1
7a) Dilation of a factor of 1/2 in the y axis. Dilation of a factor of 3 in the x axis. Reflection in the y axis. Translation of 3 right in the x axis
b) m(-2x+6)^3/2 -3
8. _____
9.a) b)Check on calculator
10) 6cm^2/second
11a) Something really long :|
b) It is the distance traveled between 0 and 2 seconds
c) Find the average value of velocity between 0 and 2

i did this ages ago so prove me if i'm wrong.
GOOD LUCK TOMORROW :D

i'm going to look over my notes now zzzz
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: schnappy on November 04, 2010, 04:27:11 pm
7a is easy for those in the know, is this correct?
Dilation 0.5 in x axis
Dilation 3 in y axis
Relection in y axis
Translation 3 units 'right'


?

I'm pretty sure it's dilation of factor 1/2 from y-axis (changing x-values) and dilation of factor 3 from x-axis (changing y values)

You appear to be correct... transformations is my biggest downfall. I'd have a better chance of solving the Riemann Hypothesis that getting this shit.

how do you get the first q, omgg im forgetting everything

10) 6cm^2/second
11a) Something really long :|
b) It is the distance traveled between 0 and 2 seconds
c) Find the average value of velocity between 0 and 2


how did you get q 10, just looking at it seems weird because pr of non defective is a 1/3 so it should be 3^10 at the bottom?? maybe im wrong..
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: Blakhitman on November 04, 2010, 08:36:14 pm
Why do you have some answers as "do on calculator" when it's an exam 1?
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: ninbam1k on November 04, 2010, 08:52:54 pm
why is this exam so hard :(
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: becca92 on November 04, 2010, 09:03:45 pm
Don't stress, these questions are considered the harder ones and there will be only a few on the actual VCAA exam!
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: Syao on November 04, 2010, 10:01:13 pm
question 1 is wrong i think, M>5/8
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1

i concur
Title: Re: Ricky Method Exam 1
Post by: inspire on November 05, 2010, 02:53:56 pm
Well exam 1 is over guys LOL
But the do on calculator is that you can check your answer easily on calculator.

+ for the related rates one you can either do it as 2 separate chain rules or one chain rule like

dy/dx = dy/dt X dt/dv X dv/dx

So everything cancels out! Something like this can be on exam 2 :)
