I loved the last question!! I know I got it right because I rechecked by putting my radius in the formulae and it was right

I got 90.something for the radius

How did you prove the question on surds?

OP

How did you prove the question on surds?

Btw how about the question about differentiation? I have no idea about the x-corrdinate! And i wrote 6 and -3

I got 48.2 for the arc length in the last question. Did it in the last 5 minutes of the time left! I'm not sure if it is right, did anyone else get the same?

The paper was harder compared to other papers. No where close to the Jan paper.

Yep that's right, it was just a
Quadratic equation

Answers I can remember:
1 a) 21 b) 100

The percentage one was 25.76 and 37.5
The circle theorem was 20 degrees
The answer for 3 x 4^2k+8=24 was -3.25
The last answer was 48.2

I'm sure of these
I thought it was really easy compared to 2015
Can't remember other answers but if anyone remembers the questions then I might

Thats great!! What do you think about the question including the circle and tangent one ? I got 20degree

did anyone else get x/2.25^2 -1 for the area of y in terms of x for the similar triangles?

OP

I got a strange ans which is like (4x)times(square root 1/65)

OP

I was like
(4/9)^2= y^2 / (x^2 + y ^2 )

Original post by ccchiulam

I was like
(4/9)^2= y^2 / (x^2 + y ^2 )

yeah thats the right way to do it, just solve it a little more and make y the subject

lets start the unofficial mark scheme for this
