It was 4, I suspect you'll get 3 marks anyway though

For the trig question did anyone try to do like tan(90) x whatever the other number was and have an error come up on their calculator??

How did you gues get 3 for the trolley question???
I got that the cross sectional area was 76cm^2, then I multiplied it 120 to get the volume. Got 9120.
So 8= mass/9120
Did 8 x 9120 then got some long ass answer and then divided by max. trolley weight limit and got near 0😂 Where did I go wrong?


I can't remember, but I used the upper bound of v and the lower of u

Yeah I'm sure I did. It was 36 miles both ways so 180 miles in total

How the actual flip do you do the last question? I could substitute the formula in then the calculator wouldn't listen to me 😩😩😩. Then ran out of time...

You were suppose to use TAN since you had the Adjacent and the Opposite, the hypotenuse was for the other triangle above.. :wink:

This is the completed mark scheme for the 26/05/2016 mathematics non-calculator paper.

If there are any mistakes, please tell me.

Reps would be appreciated, but are not necessary.

Spoiler



Do you have the solutions to paper 2 please?
Also what would the grade boundaries be like? Low like 164 for A star or higher?
