Wasn't that bad. I was a little caught off guard by question 6 or 7, I don't quite remember. The question asked us to find the volume of water flowing through the pipe in 10 minutes. If anyone feels like posting their results it would be appreciated.

1m^3= 1000L

It was absolute value so | x-a | < or equal to b
The rule is that -b < |x-a| < b
so if b = 3 and a = 9
its -3 < x-9 < 3 -- (now plus 9)
6 <(or equal) x <(or equal) 12 (from the line given u can see that)

Now iono if thats right... but q10 of the paper i didn't even bother with probability. x_x

I got 31.4kL or something around that.

i put when a=6, b=12, when b=6, a=12
hope i get 1 mark atleast
|x - a| < b

-b < x - a < b

-b + a < x < b + a

-b + a = 6

b + a = 12

Substitute & solve. The > & < are supposed to be greater/less than or equal to.

the answer I got was 26.3 L then changed it to kL so .0263 kL but I guess that's wrong then cos m^3 = 1000L

i said 1m^3= 1L for the chem trial.
for the CO q. i ended up wtih 350 000 ppm. didn't realise until i got home that its completely stupid.
