Differential Rule proved by Induction

I thought for an element of Z it wasn't proved by induction? In my book it isn't anyway...

Yup I worded that badly. N by Induction and then you can derive Z from the result of N

What order is everyone doing their Maths questions in?

I'm going to start with differentiation, then complex, which will hopefully ease me into algebra. After that, question 5 should be okay and then I'll do integration last so I don't get confused with differentiation.

Leaving out question 4 'cause we never did it.

1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, and then 4 and 5 in whichever order feels nicer.

I would say go for a walk but it's probably lashing rain where you are too. :cool:

SureYWouldntYa · 08-06-2012 11:58am

Any advice for a guy who is suddenly bricking it and making himself sick with worry? Dunno whats come over me .......

I'm loving the rain tbh! Everyone else can be as miserable as I am stuck inside

Haha I was going to and my dad was like, Your not going for walk in the rain.

I made him go and buy berocca for me since my mum stole the last one.. :L

Anyone else feel that this weather is really worse than it being sunny for us? I just feel so much more lethargic.

imelle · 08-06-2012 12:09pm

to be honest i'm so trapped inside at the moment i don't even notice what the weather is like

i hate the way some examiners give an extra few minutes and others are like pens down straight away. although i suppose i wouldn't be complaining if i got the extra few minutes..

He kept giving me evils. :P And I asked him for a set of tables to put under my desk to stop it wobbling and he gave me two. So I said thanks but I only needed the one, and he seemed really pissed off and sarcastic and I was just like Jeeesus what did I do wrong?! :pac:

ismiseaoife · 08-06-2012 12:24pm

any tips for questions on graphs/functions? never knew how to do them!

Wiirdo · 08-06-2012 12:27pm

Lads, no messing, I'm dead for this. I still might pass haha.

leaveiton · 08-06-2012 12:29pm

Absolutely terrified for maths

reznov · 08-06-2012 12:32pm

Ah sure Maths is all about subtraction, addition and multiplication/division. Pythagoras started with that basic skill set and so can you. :pac:

David1994 · 08-06-2012 12:43pm

Haha I know my Hamlet question was awful I don't know about the rest. I tend to rush really fast and write soo fast. I'm not better lol .

David1994 wrote: »

What questions did you answer?
I thought it went okay I remember things well other things I just had to waffle it. I stuck to the questions involving analysing graphs that way I avoided drawing graphs. I hope it's b1 standard but my geoecology I only remembered some of what I'd learnt.

I did good on a good few 30 markers and the geoecology but I am scared about my hapless answer on levees

I dunno if I even got full marks in shorts or some of the Question parts....

I did Question 2,6,12 and 18 :P And the shorts of course...I had a really bad answer on levees though

Hope to even get half marks for it.I just went blank on it. Wbu?

Where were they going with the shorts and part A's? :pac: I bluffed my way through levees, hoping for a B but wouldn't be surprised with a D either!

I looked at levees this morning just in case it turned up. I remembered 3 of the diagrams I think. I did those then did the answer I'm not sure I wrote everything I need. I did the same as you. I forgot the biomes human impact I waffled it I repeated the same thing a few times. I only got two pages of 4 small paragraphs.

The sub continental region on the culture and urban went ok. My human section that was just full of waffle. I wasn't sure if the settlement question was on the linear , dispersed and clustered. Thats what I wrote. Then the one after that about the urban I did it on the docklands and forgot most of it then started speaking about road development and traffic congestion . I only wrote about 2 pages fro most answers or 1 page and a half. M
The short questions I just went with my instincts.

Is it just me or do they give way too much time for OL Maths Paper 1?

Maths was not as good as I thought

Stupidly forgot that maximum and minimum points was on paper 1

I had done 6 questions (albeit only 3 full questions, then 3 part (a) and (b)s) and read over my paper in an hour and a half. I felt like a bit of a waster as I pretty much left with them but who gives a fúck.

David1994 · 08-06-2012 4:54pm

Ugh...3 of the questions I did I hope to get at least 40/50 in each of them and then maybe 25/50 in the rest...:( And I was hoping for a B3.That paper just was so hard for me :P

insua · 08-06-2012 4:58pm

Sound b of a paper

haro124 · 08-06-2012 5:00pm

8c was a biatch ! But thank god itll probably only get 10 or 15 marks

Eathrin · 08-06-2012 5:14pm

Wasn't sure of 1C(ii) or 6 C(ii) but otherwise a lovely paper I think.

haro124 · 08-06-2012 5:17pm

So we're not getting the Irish paper 1 that was scheduled due to a slight hiccup !

Mysteriouschic · 08-06-2012 5:21pm

I have no idea how I did. I messed up quite a few questions. First principles wasn't on it neither were functions

. I messed up sequences and series the first arithmetic q1 I just went blank. Q2 did the part a. I think the q3 weren't too bad I was planning to avoid that question. I even messed up complex numbers on the argand diagram I'm usually fine with that

.
Looks like my weekend will be spent on project maths. I really need to pass it I don't even care if I don't get a c3 anymore I'd happily go to nci just as long as I pass or even a level 7 I couldn't care anymore . Maths just stresses me out too much. I definitely won't repeat again . Even my mock paper was better.

If you did bad in paper 1 can you still pass maths if you do well in paper 2? or even get a c3?

Togepi · 08-06-2012 5:28pm

That paper was alright, integration was awful though!

Couldn't do 1 (a), (b) ii, (c) ii, 3 (b) ii, (c) ii, 5 (c), 6 (c) ii and iii, 7 (b), 8 (b) ii or 8 (c). Didn't do question 4, and won't be counting question 8 now after that! :cool: And I like integration.

Anyway, C1 so I'm happy with that, hopefully Paper 2 will bring me up to a B3!

How does everyone think they did?

Fergus_ · 08-06-2012 5:34pm

Lads, if my course is 340 points and I plan to get 360-390.

What are the chances I won't make it in

It's Computer Applications at DCU.

Togepi · 08-06-2012 5:34pm

This new Irish paper better be nicer than the old one! :P I thought it was something serious, could they not just change the aural? :cool:

I remember this...

The error is the first security blunder since a more serious incident three years ago when an examiner in Drogheda, Co Louth distributed Leaving English paper 2 instead of Paper 1.

As a result, Paper 2 had to be rescheduled to a Saturday morning at a cost of close to €2 million.

Can't believe it cost that much, hate to be the fella who caused it!

skyscraperblue · 08-06-2012 5:36pm

I think 1c(ii) was the only thing I couldn't answer - some of my 'prove that...' things are a bit dodgy and I know I had at least one ridiculous fraction but overall that was okay.
