Maths Paper I

Colm07

149:11 is correct or u could even do 13.5:1

or u could have done it the easy way and got 28:2 and just divided by 2 ^^ to get 14:1

I got 28:2 was that right?

It was like 800ml=28:2?

Colm07

well not reli tbh cos if u just said 800=28:2 u wont get marks

to get 28:2 u just added 19 (ratio of a) and 9(ratio of b) to get 28 and then 1+1
which is 28:2 which is 14:1

to get it with

745:55
divide by 5 to get
149:11 and divide by 11 and get
13.5:1
or 14:1

ch252

Yea I got that.

You were able to get the last part of c on question one? Nobody ive talked to was able to get that.

That was easy
You just put x=yearly repayment and you end up with an equation.
Answer = something like 2650.something

I'm not completely sure about the method, but i messed around with some equations and got 2650.980312

Yep that would be the right answer

I found this paper pretty easy except part c in question 5/6.

I got 149:11 on the ratio question as well... Part 1(c) took ages but I'm pretty sure I got it right.

Didn't like paper 1 in the maths, but in saying that if I do as well in paper 2 I'd say I'll get the honour!

i thinnk it was a reli easy paper
but no sets indices or surds...its was reli unpredictable but it made ya think which is good
instead of just learning off formulas

No I didn't get it and have never come across it before. Most people guessed it and had no real method for it

I don't know why anybody would have trouble with it, my method was to insert x as the amount which seems correct and it works out.

Thought I should upload the paper as I've got nothing better for doing :L (What about studying for Paper 2? :L)

Paper 1

i was totally dissapointed with the paper..
it started off simple.. i only had a difficulty with the last part of question 1 when he paid off the loan in two equal installments.
but then in one of the questions it asked the find b and c and i totally forgot how to do it..
i thought it was by far the hardest paper 1 of maths i have done, the previous years were much easier.

Ya i guess it was just unusual and hadn't seen anything even similar to it in previous years i guess me and others just had no idea of where to start with it!

Kind of a selfish and silly thing to say really!

Of course there will always be people who find parts of questions difficult, otherwise why would we need to bother with Foundation, Ord level and higher level?? Also, just because you could do it, please don't insult others who did find it difficult. It's very disheartening. I'm sure you didn't mean it that way but it is a very thoughtless thing to say.
