    The one about K and M and involved the remainder theorem .
    Ok, so you could see that f(3) = 59 so x -

    yeeeh it was much easier only on QS 6 i was stuck then i got it

    DID u get K=12 M=-4

    because other people got different answers..
    That is correct.

    This one is incomplete:

    Long division of x-2 should give you an easy equation to factorise, (x-2)(x+5)(x+3)

    (ii) Sketch the graph .

    go through (0,-30)
    Also go through (-5, 0), (-3, 0), (2, 0)

    iii) The graph of is translated by .
    Show the equation of the translated graph may be written as

    replace all x's with (x-1) and expand
    I actually did it a different way. Can't remember how, but it worked too.

    I'm so happy, I got all correct except from 11iv) and 6 (which i was so stupid about because I got the method correct, yet I put 2k+5=7k then 7k=29, then carried on to find m when k=29/7). Oh well, hopefully will get a good mark still x

    i think part iii) would have been 3 as more errors could occur. I think 58 is likely to be an A. ive looked at past ones and that seems to be about the average. 69/72 will likely be 100UMS

    UMS is Unified Mark Score, or something. Most A levels are made up of 600 UMS, 300 in AS and 300 in A2. Every exam/coursework contributes a certain amount of UMS to each total, and so exams which are out of, say, 72, need to be scaled up or down depending on how much the exam counts towards the final UMS. In this case, 100
