Okay guys so the exams tomorrow..i dunno but you but i'm kinda pumped :)

any last minute tips etc.?

e.g. dont forget the "0 elsewhere" if ur asked to draw a probability density function..you've got to actually draw the 0 elsewhere :)

and....with the exam covers released..do u think it will stay the same? has it stayed the same in the past? i dont wanna turn up expecting 10 questions and find 12  :-\

I feel jittery. But my tip would be don't forget to put 'c' in when anti-diffing. :P

And does everyone else finish exam 1 really early too? =S

Ah, my bad. Read the questions carefully then. ^^; And also modulus signs around the thing in the log when anti-diffing 1/x. XD

How do you do these questions?
I integrate as normal with the '+C', then at the end I write 'So: F(x)(no '+C' in here) is an antiderivative of f(x)'.
Is there any better way?

I just say "an antiderivative is required thus c = 0"

Really you can put c as any constant lol let c = 1, 2, 3, 4, e, etc

give the answer exactly the way the question asks for it

e.g. in the form ay = bx + c

and be careful if it says integer that you provide a whole number, not a fraction... (bloody spec exam lol)
