could you give more details??


umm dont remember the question well but its suppose to be like:
ac squared=12 squared+6 squared- (2*12*6*cos28)
for dc it should be 12*7=(6+dc)dc... iam not sure for dc
Anyone who gets the paper please upload it immediately.

Cant wait to see if I get my first A*.(probably my only)

how long before the paper and solutions come out?


19th may. thats what some guy said in the previous pages.
For the factorise out one, Did anyone else get Y^2 - 2y - 35, think it may have been + 2y and ivebeen an idiiot
Reply 907
I got -2y as well.

So I'm taking that most people found this paper a lot easier? Grade boundaries wouldn't just shoot up would they? :frown:

for 3C, i wrote 13:30 and 16:30. u think i,d get any marks for that?

I think it'd depend on the graph you drew.

Yes, they usually have a range of answers which they will give marks for. Especially if you've used the graph (and it looks like you have to them too). Personally I got 13:25 and 16:30 I think.

How is last question 2.5 ? I done volume of cylinder - the volune they gave = 2[sphere volume]
Then rearranged to find r ? And u got 5.36

I got 2.5 by doing
volume of cylinder- volume of two spheres= volume they gave you

So
pi.r^2.4r - 8/3pi.r^3= 125/6 pi

i got that too. how about that probability one for bill. i got 0.68 but its wrong coz you have to do three probabilities ie bill then bill, jo then bil then bill and bill then jo then bill. i did only two. u think i'd get any marks for that?
