    Because it was (e^x + 2)^2, so you expanded this to: e^2x + 4e^x + 4. Then you integrated between the limits 1 and 0, and hence if x is 1, e^2x = e^2

    Get me?
    Agreed i remember now

    In the last 6 papers it has been between 62 and 69 out of 72. I think this paper was slightly easier, so I wouldn't be surprised by 69 or possibly higher. I don't know where to find earlier grade boundaries, so there's no way of knowing the highest they've ever been.

    You know the question about integrating (e^x+2)^2 dx
    can you use reverse chain rule or do you have to multiply it out and then integrate?

    I didn't expand the brackets, I just did the chain rule. Don't you still get the same answer? Hope you do haha
    I did this too, I was thinking of multiplying it out by then thought I'd save time by reverse chain
    I think its wrong though, maybe get 1/4 for subbing in limits..

    Jan 11: A* 59, A 52, B 45 100 UMS: 66
    June 10: A* 56, A 50, B 44 100 UMS: 62
    June 11: A* 58, A 52, B 46 100 UMS: 64
    Jan 12: A* 61, A 54, B 47 100 UMS: 68

    Where A* = 90 UMS

    A* Based on the difference between A and B added to mark for A
    100 UMS grade boundary based on twice the difference between A and B

    Based on this, I would say 60 is about 85-95 UMS
