    3/4 I'd say! I think remembering to square root was the trickiest part.
    I'd be so happy if I do get 3 for it! Just hope it doesn't make the difference between an A and a B

    was okay apart from the last question and i had no ideas how to do qeestion 8 ( make a quadratic equation to show only one root) ....did any 1 else get 222 cm sq fro are of the sector thingy and like 0.177 i think for trapezium rul? around dem values?

    How do you know if he scored 3/4? If I put s.f. 1/10, surely thats wrong and should lost all 4 marks.

    For putting stretch in Y direction scale factor root 10, what do you think I'll get out of 4? So annoyed with myself for not putting stretch in X 1/root 10...
    isn't it just 1/10? haha

    The equation for the curve was the integral of the equation they gave you and then +13 for "c" if thats the question you meant? i dont remember any with straight lines
