yeah I got r<root45 -5 too, but everyone I've spoken to got r<2 :frown:
I got the exact same answer as you, but we're both right in that it is equal to 27. Should be 8/8 surely?
For the completing the square question I goofed up.
The question was -2x^2+12x+4 but I took the values to the other side and got 2x^2-12x-4 and I completed the square. How many marks will I get. Also will I get error carried forward for the next question asking for the maximum point?

probably 7 out of 8? i think considering it's equivalent, you got the right answer so they might give between 7 or 8?


thankyou :smile:

For the question about the circle being wholly inside the other, did anyone else get 0<r<√45 - 5?
Most people got 0<r<2, but I thought that this may not be right


yeah I got r<√45 - 5 but everyone I've spoken to got r<2 :frown:. I can't figure out how they got that though

did it ask to give a as an integer?


I don't think so, so hoping I will still get full marks:smile:

Hey, at least you will still get some marks for the method :smile:


How many marks do you think we'd get if we followed all those steps but accidently put a - in the wrong place?

i got r<2, im not saying it's correct, because im hearing people say its r<root45, but the way i got 2 was wen i was calculating the x value of A which was 10. since it was a quadratic, i also got that there was another x interception at -2. therefore i thought that r had to be smaller than 2 because if it was bigger then it would have gone outside the circle, if you see what i mean.
So thanks for the people that put up the mark scheme, I reckon I got 50 at worse and about 56 at best. Really hoping that's an A, it was much harder than most of the other papers I can remember doing.
Any Ideas the marks required for a B or C??

Maybe take a few marks off last year's boundaries

Yeah, sorry about that.
Where's the mark scheme?

don't worry about what they say, you're correct.
technically, it is 0<r<3√5 -5 (not sure if they'll require you to say r>0)

NB 3√5 = √45
