Cheers Mr M for 5ii) I said translation (4 0) <----- zero underneath the 4. Would that be okay? Also question 6, I did everything correctly except got the wrong gradient, how many marks would the be worth?

Mr M,

You're a top bloke doing this by the way

For 9. ii. why were the inequalities , and not ? Surely "between" is exclusive? Would it matter if I put the latter? (hey, that rhymes..) And if so how many marks would I lose?

Cheers buddy

Hey Mr M.

For Q7) basically i worked it all out and got my y value to be 3 +- root 7 .. i left it at that..

because i forgot to put it back into my equation and if i did then i would have got the right answer..

which should have 16 +- square root something ...

How many would i have lost?

Probably lose 2 marks

translation definitely fine

probably drop 2 marks for 6

MM are y0u sure y0ur answer t questi0n 6 is right?

between includes the boundary values - I think you might get lucky and the examiner will allow your version

yes I graphed it to check

By the way, it's okay to write 1.4 and 4.8 as fractions.. right?

[jamieward]

**** i differenitated it wrong, how much marks lose?

Yes, that's fine (been answered by the big man himself)

Mr M, hi!

Thanks for this mark scheme by the way, very helpful!

I have a question about 9.i. the question about the area of the rectangle. I included the negative value for x (so put down -7<x<4). I thought about it long and hard during the exam, but decided to include the negative value.

How certain are you that this would be docked a mark? Did you feel any ambiguity in this question, or am I very clearly wrong? Thank you very much!

when i drew the graph y = sqrt(x), i drew the line in the right quadrant but more of an increasing gradient, however slightly, and checking wolfram it seems to be a gradually decreasing gradient, will that matter

For question (6), if you differentiated it incorrectly, but the remaining method was fine, how many marks would you get out of 7? Thanks

On the last question, I solved it simultaneously, tried to solve using the quadratic formula and showed that it couldn't be solved since you had to square root a negative. So that's how I explained why y=2x didn't meet the circle, is that the correct method?

What was question 8 i)?

Yeah, sorry.

Pretty sure it's one mark for the right shape, one mark for the right quadrant.

Definitely drop 1 mark. The question was set to test your misconception.

Mr M's OCR (not OCR MEI) Core 1 answers May 2012

7. (6 marks)

I got the answer but did

How many marks would I lose? It's the unsimplifed version...
