Glad you did well in P1. Everyone I spoke to said much the same as yourself at my school. I've not had time to do the papers as I've been out all day doing problem solving with S1's and then had a parents night. My first impressions were that the papers were balanced over both papers. My wife's class at Ross High School also found P2 hard so it must a be a general trend as that's at least 4 school groups saying the same thing (Cristo has just posted a comment saying the same thing. Forget it now. You can't change the result anymore. Onwards and upwards with the rest of your exams. Good luck. Mr S :D Hey Faisal. Glad you did well in P1.

I reckon you're forgetting to multiply the numerator by the coefficient of x from inside the brackets. For instance if you were to integrate the following: [tex]\int \frac {dx}{(4x -1)^5} [/tex] then your answer would look like this: [tex] \int (4x-1)^{-5} dx[/tex] [tex] \frac {(4x-1)^{-4}}{4\times -4} + c[/tex] Hope this helps Hi Christo. I reckon you’re forgetting to multiply the numerator by the coefficient of x from inside the brackets. For instance if you were to integrate the following:

\int \frac {dx}{(4x -1)^5}

then your answer would look like this:

\int (4x-1)^{-5} dx

\frac {(4x-1)^{-4}}{4\times -4} + c

Hope this helps

Going back to Q8 Paper1,... I get this: (3x+1)^-1/2 But then when I carry out the integration I get it wrong! Can someone show me the next step please? Thanks! Hey…

Going back to Q8 Paper1,…

I get this: (3x+1)^-1/2

But then when I carry out the integration I get it wrong!

Can someone show me the next step please?

Thanks!

I hope your revision is coming to an end soon. A good nights sleep will do you more good than sitting up late revising remember. By the sounds of it you're in good shape anyway.

It looks like Kirsty helped Andrew and Andrew helped Faisal. If any of you want me to elaborate further please post back. Now Kirsty no-one has helped you. Don't worry I will. Remember that [tex]log_e(2e) = log_e2 + log_ee [/tex] Do the same with the second part of the expression and the answer should become apparent. Hopefully this is useful to you. If you require further help please post back. Hi Kirsty Andrew and Faisal. It looks like Kirsty helped Andrew and Andrew helped Faisal. If any of you want me to elaborate further please post back.
