on page 5
also here is a briliant C2 in a page thing which gives you all the formulas we need and there's

Re: The Edexcel C2 (24/05/12 - AM) Revision Threadyou need to prove the formula for the sum of a series(Original post by 101101)
What are the proofs for geometric series?
look it up in your text book or

Re: The Edexcel C2 (24/05/12 - AM) Revision Thread
What are the reasons for your estimations of the area under a curve being over/under using the trapezium rule?
June 09 4c I've got the answer as 6.133 which is correct but then it asks whether this is an over or under estimate and asks for a reason why. Never seen this question before and it's 2 marks so if anyone could help, much appreciated. -
Re: The Edexcel C2 (24/05/12 - AM) Revision ThreadCan be either;(Original post by Scorcher)

If they ask the graph will probably be fairly easy to draw, or it might even be provided already. -

Re: The Edexcel C2 (24/05/12 - AM) Revision ThreadThink those above me have got you covered ;P But heres just a quick doodle of how it looks from question.(Original post by Scorcher)

Re: The Edexcel C2 (24/05/12 - AM) Revision ThreadYeah. The 2012 January C2 one had a transformation question.(Original post by Wooden)
Do we need to know transformations for this C2 exam?? -

It is worth reading through the last few C2 exam threads, see what the common errors were

Re: The Edexcel C2 (24/05/12 - AM) Revision ThreadCan I ask a few questions?(Original post by Arsey)
I am expecting a big GP question probably involving logs to solve. Also, get all over the proof as it hasn't been asked for a long time.
I am also expecting a difficult circles question.
(1) By big GP question do you mean something similar to the one found in June 2007 (http://www.thomas-reddington.com/upl..._june_2007.pdf) [question 8]?
Though this isn't a difficult example, is this what you mean? A wordy question finishing with some log rearrangement?
(2) Which proofs do we need to know asides Sum of a geometric series for C2?
(3) Can I ask what kind of thing you'd expect to make a circles question difficult. Would it just require a knowledge of all the circle theorems?
Many thanks indeed! -

Just that one
Just one that requires a bit of thought, knowledge of circle thms and trig -
