FULL SOLUTIONS to Paper #1, Specialist Mathematics

for mark allocations...any one have any idea what they would deduct if e.g. you did everything right but in your last line (i.e. answer line) you didn't divide by 2 (triangle question)?? Thanks!

enwiabe, nice work man, these look great, if you are busy doing your exams for the other 3 i'll do the solutions and you can double check

yeah it was minus, and you had to prove to by saying tcos(t)=o but it doesnt matter if its negative or not, you should still come out with the same answer


tcos(t) = 0 when t = Pi/2 and 3Pi/2
and you can't say t = 0

did anyone find that easier than 2009 ?

OMG for the last part of Q8.. I went for the i component sin (3pi/2) = 1 ..... FML  :uglystupid2: :buck2: :idiot2:

o well that the only one i got wrong-.-  And anyone think this year was easy? Finished it with about 30 mins to go.. I normally finish with 20 mins to go, but then it may be because I concentrate harder in a real test..
