Good bye school. You will trouble me no more.
This exam was pretty good for me. I did alright. I hope i can get 70%+♦

I hope I did well in this exam... It was kinda hard :shock:
How were you meant to answer the very last extended response question? I couldn't figure out how to do it.
And also the one with the angle of elevation of the plane... I couldn't work out how to get the angle.
I noticed some inconsistancies... They used arctan for some questions, and tan^-1 for others. I used tan^-1 in all my answers, they wouldn't take marks off for using that as opposed to arctan, would they? (after all, they are the same thing).
cara.mel:
I tan^-1'ed the whole thing.
My complaints: a few of the MC were uber hard for me and I had to guess
In that question with tan^-1, I accidently worked out two parts of the question together in the same step and realised it at the end, wasted like 4mins on that :K
The last question my calculator worked out really fast =) But I gave it lots of decimal answers to make it go quicker so only 1 integral for it to play with
Happy but :) Nothing left except chinese, which I don't care too much about.

--- Quote from: "coblin" ---I think if you can show that a CAS calculator could cope with it much better than a non-CAS calculator, then you're in business.
But considering that it only took 15 seconds for a TI-83 to solve() it, then I don't think the CAS can beat that by a great margin.

IMHO, the CAS is a far more capable calculator, function wise. Personally though I find it more sluggish, particularly when graphing since I don't know how to reduce the resolution the way I did on my 84+. Gotta love the algebra though - that mulitiple choice Q with the vdv/dx - CAS saved my ass :D

How did everyone cope with the heat? We were dying in our exam room - facing north in the most exposed building of the school. :( I was't surprised to see a heap of wet shirts afterwards.
