Does anyone remember the upper bound X coordinate for the 7b integration question?

I think it was 9, I think the answer was 243/10 or 24.3

Hi I think there's a mistake in this on question 1c... The difference is definitely not 256 haha. It looks like just an oversight, accidentally putting the answer from 1B there

Yh I didn't make it but I realised. I think it should be 1.602?
Yeah I just checked it and that's right :smile: (hopefully)
for the log question, how many marks out of 4 would i get if make y=2x and gettting 1.38 as the final answer.
y^7=7y
y^6=7
y=1.38

Here's my unofficial mark scheme, with the actual questions.


Wow, fantastic! Thanks so much :smile:
That markscheme has actually given me confidence.

Did anyone else get P is 66? How are people getting 120?

how did people find the upper bound needed to find the area of s ?

how the hell was 9 the upper limit . i substituted 0 into the equation and got 4 ?

The curve touched the X axis at two points. One of them was 0 and the other one, to find out what it was you needed to sub in y = 0 into the equation which would give you a value for x



When you differentiated the equation, and made it equal to 0, you get an answer of X = 16.63. If you sub that value of X back into the equation for P, you get an answer of P = 120


u don't have to make y=0 bec they already give you the x-axis which is 0,4

and event if you make y=0 the answer will be the same 4 by using the log concept

I'd say A will be 62. There were a LOT of hurdles here for some people and the last question was incredibly discriminating (although I loved it personally). It was easier than the 2014 June paper but on par with the June 2013 paper so 62 seems apt.
Guys help me reach 300 views on my C2 video! Would really appreciate it if you shared it with your friends because i can guarantee you that it will make you laugh, if you don't laugh you can sue me!
