2016 EDEXCEL CORE 1 MAY 18TH - Unofficial Markscheme 2016

How many marks was 10c worth?

What were the answers to 6?

Was it 5-4k for a1, as well as 5-5k+4k^2 for a3.

Then was part b the one where you had to find the sum of the first three terms?

I got 4k^2-9k+17

Then the last one was 500?

I have a feeling I'm missing something here.

Here's a slightly better version.

EDEXCEL C1:
Q1) 2/5X^3-8X^1/2+3X+C
Q2) y=6X+2
Q3)a) 2root 2
b) 3root 6
Q4a) stretch in y-direction by scale factor 3.
b) translate by vector (0,-4) (downwards)
Q5) X=-1/7 ; Y= -1/3 X=-3/7 ; Y=1/3
Q6)a) A2= 5-4K A3= 5-5K+4K^2
B) 4K^2-9k+1
C)I) I forgot to do again lol
C)II) 500 (OMFG WAT WAS THIS?!)
Q7)dy/dx= 6X+2X^-2/3+X^1/2+7/6(X^3/2)
Q8)a) proof of inequality- had to substitute the 2 equations and the discriminant<0
b) 1/2<P<9/2
Q9)a) £225
b) £180
c) £1710
d) 18 years from 10 years old so 27 years old
Q10)a) 5Y+3X-44=0 b) R: (44/3,0) c) area of Quad: 76 units (this proved extremely difficult when splitting into 2 triangles, so I split in 2 triangles and a rectangle)
Q11)a) dy/dx= 6X^2+2KX+5
b) K=41/8=5.125
c) y co-ordinate- 49/2
D) 2y-17x-83=0

give the correct answer if any of these are wrong and ill edit it

Well I doubt a lot of people would have got full marks in the paper to say the least!! Can't tell though, but I reckon they will have to be significantly lower.

how many marks was 9c?

That was a tough paper no question. here are some of the answers I got, that my memory can recall. Feel free to share any you remember before the unofficial one is released I feel like I have done worse than expected

Q1. Typical integration question - should be fine as long as you remember the +C
Q2. 3^6x + 2 : I nearly messed up on that one yikes!!
Q3. 5root2 - 3root2 leaving 2root2
I then got 3root6 - you ended up with 24root6 over 8
Q4.
Q5. Not a fan of this one at all. 5-K and a quadratic - my memory is slacking!!
The one marker was 500 - you got 5 each time - I guessed this one and got it wrong.
The hell of a quadrilateral I got 326/6 which you could simplify to 163/3 units^2. I split it into a triangle and trapezium. The fact that R was 44/3,0 is just cruel.
You got this from the equation 3x - 4y -44 = 0 or again something similar to that. Y = 0 at point R so 3x=44 therefore X = 44/3
The value of K was also awful - I got 41/8 via equating the gradient function to the gradient of the line being 17/2. Again, nasty nasty numbers.
Y= 1/2 when X = -2
17x -2y + 35 = 0 is what I got for tangent equation.

There was quite a challenging discriminate one. You had to make then 2 equations equal one another, and you get values of:
A= 2P, B = -6p-3 and C = 3p-7 or something similar.
When solving it, I got P > 1/2 and P< 9/2

I got John to be 27 as (n-18)(n+25)
Total money on his birthday something like £1050?

The differentiation one was alright for the most part but I've probably messed up on it. The powers were harsh - can't remember it perfectly.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong and share answers if you want. It's just a rough guide of stuff, hopefully the official one will be out soon to stop us all worrying!

Does anyone have the questions from the Edexcel c1 this morning? would like to go through it again to see where i went wrong

5 i think

Damn you have a good memory. That's sick!
For 9C i got £1050 but I may have messed up on it.
For 11 C and D I got the Y to equal 1/2 and D I got 17x-2y + 35 =0 so again I may have messed up.
For 10c : I am pretty sure that it is 162/3 units^2 and not 76 via splitting it into a trapezium and triangle.
I agree with the simultaneous equations - I definitely got answers like that.
Thanks for remembering Q11 A I agree with that and they for the rest I got the same!
