Meanwhile, at an underground bunker in a secret location …

General Loi Mdm! We have incoming messages!

Read them to me, Sergeant Loi!

YES MDM!
Message #1: Business opportunity! Help transfer USD10 million out of Nigeria and get a 30% cut!
Message #2: Golden opportunity! Achieve financial freedom with our healthcare products!
Message #3: Stay for FREE anywhere in the world with just $10000 …

*Prepares big whack on the helmet*

Mdm! Mdm! I was only joking! Have a sense of humour Mdm!

How can I have a sense of humour when tomorrow’s BLACK FRIDAY?!

SORRY MDM! Here are the messages from our crack AMaths troops at the frontline today!

Quite OK … I managed checked my answers SEVEN times!

I’m confident I’ll do well for amath! 😉 It was manageable.

Ms Loi, because of you, I’m only worried about the moderation of marks. If not much moderation, I think can get an A for paper 1.

Will Paper 2 be tough? Paper 1 was easy …

Today’s paper was a killer. I couldn’t do the tan 75 and the secant part. The next question on the curve and find k also anyhow do. Miss Loi: Aiyooh!!! Grrrrrr ……

OK sounds good! Anything else to report?

YES MDM! It appears that there’s some solutions fever going on at the moment, and our scouts have reported covert activities of gamesmanship in teh intertubes. In addition, some clones have been captured and are now held indefinitely in The Temple‘s deepest, darkest, scariest Mas Selamat-proof dungeon!

Sigh … we’ll just have to focus and do what we can … unlike others, we our main focus should be the large number of our student troops to take care of.

For Question 11, the two stationary points should be (2,0) and (-2,0)? The x-axis is a tangent to the curve, so shouldnt the y coordinate be 0?

  @Fred: Umm ... "the x-axis is a tangent to the curve" in Q8(ii) but this wasn't stated for the curve in Q11.

My teacher said it is not necessary to leave it in sets in amath; as long as you get the ranges it is acceptable.

  @Kelly: *Stares intensely at Kelly's teacher ... before moving off to a secret Zen-like place to stare at a waterfall as she ponders the differences between "Find the set of values of x ..." vs "Find the range of values of x ..."*
