do you think that 196/g would be accepted?

[abeybaby]

do you think that 196/g would be accepted?

I think it will, the question doesnt ask for any specific form... but im not VCAA! still pretty confident that they will..

for question 1, it says "an antiderivative" so c is redundant?

yeah, you dont have to have it. I just sometimes put it from force of habit

if i only put 2 solutions for question 8, would i only lose 1 mark given full working etc.?

hmm.. i doubt it... cos then you'd lose 1 for answer, and your method would have been wrong if it only generated 2 solutions.. so you'd also lose a method mark.

but if 2 solutions were correct, and the other two were missed out because of my method, then deducting 1 mark for method and another mark for solutions would be basically deducting 2 marks for the same thing. ahhhh

If your answer is wrong you will always lose the answer mark. If your method is wrong you will lose a method mark. if both are wrong, you will lose both marks.

its harsh, and i know what its like, the nerve in my tooth was exposed in my spesh exam and i very literally could not think. VCAA didnt let me do anything about it
