Could someone please explain question 2f, I was certain that by finding the equation of the tangent and equating to f(u) would give me the value

The equation of the tangent is defined by the point that it is tangential to, so you've tried to use the definition of the tangent to find a point on the tangent, which would most likely give you u=u or something similar.
The way I did it was to find the gradient of the tangent using the derivative function at x=u, then set this equal to the tangent defined by the right-angled triangle
where is the point

Hey so i am guessing i got around 29/40 for exam 1 and 46/80 for exam 2(i found it so diffucult).
I am in a class of less then 5 students, my marks have been 90+ for all sacs. What kind of study score am i looking at ?
is 38 possible by any chance?

Pretty sure this is an exam discussion thread, not a study score discussion thread. You guys will probably get more (and possibly better) responses if you post in the technical discussion page instead of an exam discussion page.

What kind of scores for both exams would you need for a 25 ? Only doing methods bc of prereq...

Yes

Can someone explain how to do Q14 on multiple choice? I ended up picking 6p-16p² as an answer, but only because it was close to my answer, and I got something like 4p-16p²

Would 70% in Exams = 35 SS?

Would 70% in Exams = 35 SS?

I found this, i don't know how accurate it may be but it can give a slight indication
