Yes because you answered the question! Only the opening and closing was required. Some people went off on a tangent for 6 pages and lost many marks because the question was not answered. This is what I dislike about how some teachers approach English and answer length. Instead of teaching to answer a question, at times it seems that it is more important to satisfy a certain length.
So good job :pac:
Ha, thanks :pac: I actually typed it up for Patchy so if anyone else wants a look just PM me. Again, not trying to show off or anything, because I really don't like people like that

I'm of a mixed opinion here. Sometimes I really like my school and my year but other times I just can't wait to get away from those idiots.
If I counted them I'd say I'd only get on with 1 in 3. I think I'm becoming a bit of a misanthropist.:(0 -

I'm the same most of the time, some days I love them, other days I'm sick of them :rolleyes: But really if I'm honest I've had 6 good years in my school (even though I complain about it :rolleyes:) and today and many others have been a highlight of it and tbh my year are something else, they really are 0 -

it's 2007 Q7 B i)
(x2 + 4 )(4x3 + 5) (product rule)
So I differentiated it as normal and put it into the product rule formula.
I got down to
(x2 + 9 ) 12x + (4x3 + 5)2x
Then multiplied it in my answer was: 12x3 +108x + 8x4 + 10x
The back of the exam papers says the answer is : 20x4 + 108x + 10X
But then the marking scheme says
it's (x2 + 9 ) 12x + (4x3 + 5)2x (10 marks)
or 20x4 + 108x + 10X
Does that mean I got it right earlier and went too far? I'm not sure if I've done something wrong or if I had the question right and wasn't supposed to multiply in? I don't know where the answer of 20x4 + 108x + 10x
is coming from???
I'll give it a go but this is on the computer and only quickly.
(x2 + 4 )(4x3 + 5)
U = x2 + 4 v = 4x3 + 5
du/dx = 2x dv/dx = 12x2
(x2 + 4)(12x2) + (4x3 + 5)(2x)
Unless the question says simplify you can leave it like this or else you can go on further if it says to simplify so that would be..
12x4 + 48x2 + 8x4 + 10x
20x4 + 48x2 + 10x
So I didn't get the correct answer.. must of gone wrong somewhere but I don't know where. Anyone?
Edit: I don't get your work, first you said it was x2 + 4 and then you used x2 + 9..
If its x2 + 9 then it would work out as this :
(x2 + 9 )(4x3 + 5)
U = x2 + 9 v = 4x3 + 5
du/dx = 2x dv/dx = 12x2
(x2 + 9)(12x2) + (4x3 + 5)(2x)
Leave like the above unless told to do otherwise..
12x4 + 108x2 + 8x4 + 10x
20x4 + 108x2 + 10x 0 -
I'm gonna miss a lot of my close Friends when we go our separate ways. It's worse seeing one of your friends want something so badly and you know they're not going to get it. It's absolutely terrible. I'm really going to miss some of my Teachers aswell though. I actually made a MASSIVE A3 card for my Religious Education Teacher today, he's sooo nice. He's only like 23 and from Donegal (can't resist the accent
), it's just going to be so weird to leave. My Business Teacher, god she's more like a Friend at this stage, it's going to be such a change not seeing her aswell, same with my English Teacher, the banter we have is surreal. I know they're Teachers and they're there to Teach, not be your friend. But when you get use to seeing the same face every day for 6 years it feels weird to say it's almost over. I'm already friends with some of them on FB :P I dunno, it's just going to be a surreal change. As much as I give out about the smothering smallness, horrible subjects etc. I've gotten so use to it now, it's going to be a massive change in the system. I've actually been inspired so much by some of them that I know that I want to eventually teach Business in School. Now my CAO is the issue as i'm unsure whether I want to study Law at all. 0 -

Oh I get where I went wrong now I must have went wrong at the 12x3 instead of 12x4 . Thanks0 -
Ladies and gentlemen, the Geography course has been completed. Yes, after 10 gruelsome hours of studying in the library I have finished everything! I'll probably need to look over it all again in like 10 days but wow, the sense of achievement is UNBELIEVABLE!!!

How did you do it I should really try and do that myself with the human part at least? did you just do a full paper? or write notes?0 -
Might do that too, but I also need some kind of business and history marathon :rolleyes:
Really confused with Irish atm. I got 30/30 in my mock Geibheann answer and really high in general, but more to the point is that I got 22/30 in my test the other day
I dont see how I could have made 0 mistakes in my mock in my entire essay and my poetry sections and now I'm making them...I lost marks with my teacher not really seeing my point but even still, its so weird and I probably wont get my A2. 0 -

All my notes are already written out. For the first 3 hours I did all the physical by just reading it and saying it in my mind... but if I got stuck and lost focus I'd just write it out in the 12 minutes. And I kept doing that with the other sections too. My answers are just basically 17 one-line srps which have all the key words in them so they're handy to learn 0 -
Motivation = 0
Seriously, i'm trying to plan what i'm going to do tomorrow.- My Business Teacher gave me the 2007 Mock Paper to do so i'll have to get that done tomorrow.
- I want to learn about the characters of Horatio/Polonius in Hamlet tomorrow and get them out of the way for good.
- HAVE to do a SERIOUS Amount of Geography tomorrow. At least Paris/SW USA and 4/5 Physical Essays
- Economics has become neglected on my part lately. Need to hold onto the A2, so i'll have to do Inflation/FOP's/Government & Economy tomorrow.
- Have to do at least 2 Backing Chords exercises and 2 melodies for Music
- I'm going to try and knock out 3/4 French written Questions tomorrow.
I'm going to have to arise from my slumber at 6.00 a.m tomorrow morning. That way, i'll have a good 5 hours done by noon! 0 -

I should do that myself although I still need to write loads of them out especially in the human section. Or I could just read the exam skills and read them over for some of them anyway.0 -
