| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Choosing what type of integration to do when function of function (e.g. x/(sqrt(2x^2 + 1)) | By parts still leaves the horrible indices. When there's a function in a function, substitution best |
| How to do integration by substitution when x/sqrt(2x^2 + 1) This is the type of integration where you find dx | Do the easiest u you can. Ignore the function happening to the function because you won't be able to get du as easily. i.e. u = 2x^2 + 1, not including the squareroot (DONT FORGET SQRT LATER) |
| When showing that lines cross between x = 3 and x = 4 | Good to use f(3) notation Best to express as [function of main line] - [function of the other line] (in this case curve - x) so that it will show going from +ve to -ve |
| REMEMBER UNITS | |
| When explaining method without calculation | Use more detail, explaining which simul equations you need (from the previous parts of the Q the method is the same so copy that) |
| If answer in degrees is rlly obviously wrong (like 1800 seconds on a rollercoaster) | Look for radians in Q. If Q doesnt specify either way, then use whichever makes more sense, which here is radians |
| 'The first year during which the value (of an exponential) was more than 100000' | DURING which, so if it happened on december 2022, say 2022 not 2023 |
| When giving bounds for line y intercepts | Look for lower bound as well as upper bound. Sometimes can only be reasoned with common sense rather than the proper method from the other bound |
