Level 2 Certificate Further Maths

The general consensus from my school was that we were bent over and anally raped multiple times. (Although to be fair, most of the people who said that did no revision whatsoever) I personally found it slightly easier than the mocks, although the kite question and the obtuse angled triangle threw me off a bit. I reckon I dropped around 15 marks max. Definitely too hard to be a GCSE paper though! I mean, compare this paper to something like a sociology or religious studies GCSE paper, and the difference in difficulty is just stupidly high!

the formula for the other line was y=3x so i guessed that the x value for point b was midpoint of the origin and the other point (by the use of my ruler) so it was x=6 therefore y=18.... complete guess on the midpoint

Point A was (0,4)
Point C was (12,0)
Thus the equation of the line was y=-1/3x + 4
The other line was perpendicular thus a gradient of 3
The 2nd line went through the origin thus y(1) - 0 = 3 (x - 0) so, y=3x

To get the point the two lines met each other it must that the two lines equal each other therefore 3x=-1/3x +4
10x/3 =4
10x = 12
x = 1.2

y=3x
y= 3(1.2)
y= 3.6

However this was not point B, but the midpoint between the origin and B

Thus 2x(1.2, 3.6)
= (2.4 , 7.2) = point B

ahhhh thats annoying i got that method but messed up a bit with numbers ,!!!
how many marks du get if u get the line and then the x coordinate and the y coordinate but wrong numbers?
also, any idea on the triangle trig question (second part)

does anyone know what the rough grade boundaries are?

does anyone know what the rough grade boundaries are?

I presume you're talking about the one that is prove that angle B is 60? I used the sinA/a = sinB/b equation, substituting the lengths they gave you and the value from the first part if that makes sense? I can't remember the numbers

My teacher said that apparently for this qualification they do it terms of ranking rather than grade boundaries i.e. the top 10 percent in the country get A*, top 20 percent get an A etc.
