⏳️🪡My mutuals yayayay!! (Atm I only tagged people who said that they would like to be tagged, if you want to be tagged as well lmk!)
Honestly, I thought that it was a really nice paper, but I keep seeing people call it abysmal so idk if I just went wrong somewhere😔 I ran out of time and missed around 30 marks (±since I started some of these questions, that includes Q15 and I hope to get like two marks from it since I didn't finish it)
I forgot what Q7 was but if it's that trig proof then dw I barely did anything there💔 I'm actually decent at working with CAST diagrams but it was locked behind part a and I'm so mad about that😭
I am also hoping for a B at least, my firm wants an A but screw that atp😭
7 was the semi circle where you had to find p and q
With like 2 minutes left I realised how to do it, did it really fast then went to part b, but part b wasn't working so either I made a right mess of part a or my brain shut off at part b 💔
Feel very sad there was not first principles
Though I must say the integration was nice, nothing too hard
I spent the morning truing to remember the proofs we need to know only for that abomination of a question to pop up
Oh we do NOT talk about the semi circle. All of my radians revision for nothing😔 They just gave us a bunch of information and then randomly go "show that theta satisfies this equation" WHERE did they pull that equation from
I did try to work with areas and I was getting something interesting, but couldn't finish it
Again, WHY would they lock a mark-heavy part b behind the answer to part a. They should've at least given us an alternative equation or whatever💔 my teacher specified that people often disregard Newton-Rhapson and that we should revise it a little, I did, I was so confident on getting that but noooo💔 if they wanted me to show that I can do NR then they should've given me something to work with😭😭

Your friendly reminder to rest, eat well, not do too much revision or stress too much before your exams from a fellow A level student!
You are so kind thank you sm<33 Good luck with tomorrow’s exam! We’ve got this
(well, today’s exam cuz I’m definitely terrible at actually resting before the exam, which is why your reminder hits even harder rn I’ll go to bed soon I promise)
But also, fucking whiplash. Made it through the chapter, looked into the news...
Wow. Fucking. Lukyanivka, KSE, Zavertaylo and the Chornobyl Museum in one night. And that's just the places I have personal links to in my home city.
For fuck's sake.
This was the Chornobyl Museum, btw.
UPD: Okay, wow. Hinaus, Zhitniy market, the Shevchenko Literature Institute, the National Art Museum, the Kyiv Small Opera too, holy hell. I suppose our enemies think all of our thinking and military planning is done in cultural institutions. Motherfuckers.
(Also hm, I can see the tower at the museum's still standing, so this is an interesting angle for a shot, I think? Or I am shit at recognizing my own city from above; that's also an option.)
Yooo smart mathematician, iiiiiiiffff you were to be bored, like theoretically, would you fancy some talk about exponentials and logarithms :> I feel like I struggle with the topic, all ik is how to manipulate log laws and differentiating e and that natural ln and regular log/log10 exist ig but other than that I barely understand them and how to use them in modelling and stuff💔 only if you would want to tho, feel free to ignore this cuz ik people have lives :>
oh no i got plenty of time
do you need something specific or should i just yap
Thank you kind mathematician🙏🙏 You can just yap, I feel like going off spec might actually help me understand the concept itself and why it works rather than just memorizing methods :D
alright this is gonna be probably very disorganized but fuck it we ball
logarithms are the inverse functions of exponentials, so all the inverse function rules apply (graphs mirrored over y=x, they negate each other, all that. worth noting that for them to negate each other, the bases do have to be the same (so ln(5^x) can't really be simplified the way ln(e^x) can)).
logarithms in general are a bit of an expedited way of simplifying exponentials. their definition, though not at all formal, is if log(b)a = u, then b^u = a. they were originally introduced by some guy in the 1600s to make large, high-accuaracy computations more easily and then euler found their connection to exponentials.
there are a few identities that are fun to mess around with, kinda in the same way trignometric identities are. they're mostly used to expand/simplify logarithms in the context of something else. here's the wikipedia list cause i didn't feel like typing out all that (formulas are a pain on tumblr)
deriving and integrating logs are. so fun. like so fun i love it so much. probably because it's painfully fucking simple lmao- anyways! the reason e and ln are so common is because their derivatives and integrals are so simple, the derivative and integral of e^x is e^x + c, and the derivative of ln(x) is 1/x. more generally, though, the derivative of a^x is (a^x)ln(a), and the integral of a^x is (a^x)/ln(a). and the derivative of log(a)x is 1/xln(a) and the integral is xlog(a)x - x/ln(a) + c.
and uhhhh i think that's all i have! maybe! not sure if i covered everything you needed
Yoo we never really the root formula, that's so cool c: tysm for the explanation, knew you were the right person, tysm for taking your time to explain it🙏🙏🙏 if you don't mind, do you think you can explain logarithmic graphs? I understand the y=e^x one fairly well and the basic y=logx one, but the moment they use logs on actual contextual formulas (something like V=1500+13000e^(-0.098t) where V is like price and t is time in years, I just made up the numbers) and they either log the whole thing or just one side (somehow?) and that's where I'm completely useless😔
oh damn i dunno if i remember that myself 😔i'm ass when it comes to graphing shit lmao
i know they all pass through x = 1 (assuming you haven't added a constant) and the lower the base you have, the more stretched out it will be.
adding a positive constant will shift the entire graph upwards and a negative one will shift it downwards. to shift left and right, you add the constant directly to x (positive for a left shift and negative for a right shift). and multiplying the entire function by a constant will also stretch or contract the function
i think that applies to both? i'm really not sure, like i said graphs are not my strong suit
That's fair, exponents&log modelling with graphs is genuinely my least favourite topic out of the whole course, atp just give me all the calculus man😔🙏 thank you sm for taking your time for me, I appreciate it sm🥹🥹❤️🩹

Currently Watching: nothing in particular. Mostly tornado videos on the ol ‘tube
Current Obsession: STAR WAR!!!! TAR WARS!!!! CLONES!!!
Currently Reading: my own writing! I’ve passed the “writing spree” stage and entered the “reread your own fics and then kick yourself for not finishing them” stage.
Currently Working On: Various outfit/set design pieces for my ocs! I’ve finally pushed myself to flesh out the places these people are visiting/living. I’ve had them for almost three years and I’ve only just gotten around to it. But hey! I’ve gotten round to it! Yay!
Last Google Search: Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (I may have it, I was googling symptoms, lmao). And the one before that was “normal blood pressure by age group”. So I guess I’m more of a hypochondriac than I thought i was?
Tagging (first time, kinda nervous 👉👈)
@t9909-gk @qalanthe @mistycatt (can I tag people who aren’t my mutuals?? What is etiquette) @eobe (oh no I don’t have ten. Send me to the plinko or something)
hi I’ve never done one of these even though I’ve been tagged in a bajillion of them
here we go..
last song: graduate by third eye blind
currently watching: clone wars… again
current obsession: obi wan still. Specifically I’ve been thinking about obi wan directly after order 66 but haven’t drawn it because I don’t usually like drawing sad stuff.
currently reading: rogue planet !! Yay Star Wars book
currently working on: drawing Obi wan. I want to draw him in mando armor and also do some codywan art. I have a whole list of things my friend Finn wants me to work on lol. Also my codywan fic I’ve been working on for months that I’ve hardly made progress on. I’m no author lol
last google search: “jar har” I was trying to type Jar Jar but something went wrong in the process 😔😔💔💔

currently reading: random medical and forensics case studies and also fan fiction (for Star Wars and Dexter!)
currently working on: 3 indie game projects, a vtuber rig who I've been procrastinating, 2 fan fics (one which I posted and is time travel but hasn't had an update in like idk how long and another which I hope can see the light of day one day), a cal kestis and oc drawing for a moot (I love them/p), a codywan drawing that's stuck in the idk what I'm doing stage, and an anidala drawing in a similar stage
last Google search: ao3 (pretty self explanatory)
last songs: Across the Stars, How Lin-Manuel Miranda Orders a Pizza by Daniel Thrasher, Heart Attack by Demi Lovato and Mr. Darkside by Sub-Radio
currently watching: The Clone Wars 2008, probably gonna rewatch some Star Wars movies, probably gonna rewatch Tom Holland's Spider-Man trilogy in preparation for Brand New Day
current obsession: Star Wars (the prequels and the clone wars)
currently reading: Clone Wars: Wild Space
currently working on: The first fanfic in my Happy AU series where Palpatine dies, Padme lives, there's no Empire, and everyone is happy apart from Anakin apparently (don't worry he'll get there). I'm trying to write it realistic in the sense that this is what I think would have really happened if the story played out like this, but I think only the first story will have any politics in it. I love the in universe politics of Star Wars, I think they're fascinating and I wish there was more information out there on it, but there's not. Making random stuff up is exhausting. I don't want to do too much research, so I'm just going to write Happy Skywalker Family fluff and angst instead of galaxy altering shit lol
Google search: How do court trials work in Star Wars? (literally no info on Wookieepedia...)

Last songs: not exactly sure as Tidal shows history by playlist not tracks?? But I know in the past day I've listened to Impossible (Shontelle), the Ben-Hur (1959) soundtrack and I'm Gonna Be Strong (both Michael Ball and Cyndi Lauper covers, I was comparing them lol)
Currently watching: Fallout s2! It's amazing
Current obsession: Sherlock Holmes. Feels wrong to put that as it's also my currently reading, but I am also watching the Basil Rathbone films with my dad and reading loads of fanfic 😅
Currently reading: ...Sherlock Holmes. Also sort of in the middle of a P&P reread (which means I impulsively grabbed it, read a few bits in the middle, meant to read it properly but left it by the side of my bed for like the past two weeks. Does that count? Idk.)
Currently working on: ... improving my health 😅 I assume this is for creative projects but ngl apart from translation (which is my job, or was when I was well enough to work) I'm not really a creative person. I love stuff other people make 😂
Last google search: What is Madras (i meant what is in the curry, but it was poorly worded lol)
Tags: @knoxvillemonsoon @cardboard-houses-swaying @catastrophiccblues @neuroqueerings @izzy8248 @amillionmagpies (no worries if you'd rather not!!!)
Last songs: I can't stop listening to Hoochie Coochie Man by Muddy Waters at the moment. The last album was a compilation of Hammond organ roller-skating music. I hasten to add that I do not roller-skate! But there is something about Hammond organ music that really amuses me.
Currently watching: Granada Sherlock Holmes. I only have 3 episodes left :( so I'm trying to ration myself. And I'm also trying to decide what to watch next. It's between Star Trek: Next Generation for Q/Picard, or DS9 for Garak/Bashir.
Current obsession: John Watson! Nuff said.
Currently reading: The Kenneth Williams Diaries. This is a truly enormous book and it has taken me a while to get into it, but it's good. It's funny, sad and surprising in parts.
Currently working on: My hot tboy summer! What else? Lol.
Last Google search: I don't remember. I spent many a day googling 'who is going to be the new presenters of BBC Strictly?', but now I know, and not one of them is La Voix, which is very affronting.
Ten, you say?! I'll tag the latest 10 mutuals I have acquired (excluding the one we have in common, that you yourself have tagged) @nostalgicemetery @siephilde42 @teabooksandstuff @whenyoulikeandwhereyoulike @landmineblogging @joyandotherstories @triflesandtea @eisenkrahe @yellowhollyhock @caffeine-mooncat (no pressure!)
Last song - An Idle Brain Invites The Devil In from Salem the musical
Currently watching - I started the animated Jekyll and Hyde, I really need to finish it lol
Current obsession - Hamilton has invaded my brain at the moment, but still Jekyll and Hyde and Moriarty the Patriot
Currently reading - Nothing at the moment, but I will read Frankenstien soon!
Currently working on - I need to stop writing my own Jekyll and Hyde au thing. It takes up way to much of my time. I have neen doing doodles with @whenyoulikeandwhereyoulike to get out of art block
Last google search - Aikendrum. I was writing something and got stuck for half an hour. Then I forgot the lyrics and had to regoogle them.
Here is where I remember I don't think I have ten mutuals-
Last songs – just random Ziferblat songs, I haven't watched last year's Eyrovision but I did this year's so I catched up and Ziferblat is peak for me and they represented my country?? Peak choice
Currently watching: OCR A level chemistry revision/hj I've been rewatching HTTYD and Disney Frozen but had to pause them bc of exams :<
Current obsession: my ocs... and actually TRYING to find resources to learn more about MY culture bc so many things were destroyed😔 also bc of that I'm just randomly fixating on Galliano's FW 2009 like idk but I can't stop thinking about that collection
Currently reading: OCR Chenistry A level textbook. Arrhenius equation explanations. Overall peak fiction, really love the magic system, it's really complex but ssssoo fun
Other than that I just read Anderson's Frozen Queen, a short story but that's what I managed to fit in between revision💔
Currently working on: exams I just can't stop talking about exam stress again, exploring my culture and heritage, also improving my art style and my ocs' lore :D
Last google search: "poshepose" I couldn't even dream of owning one of their hella expensive dresses but they're so pretty😔😔😔
