for questio 7 if you got the right answer but didnt use the method which will probably be on the markscheme ( the traingle one) would you still get the marks? i ended up using sin^2 +cos ^2 =1 and then devided by cos^2 and did a whole bunch of other stuff :/

What was question 7 about? and did it require your calculator to be in degrees mode?

[samjj8]

Mr M, on question 7ai) I left it as 5/root29. Would I loose a mark for not writing it in standard form?

its was tana =2/5 find sina or could have been cosa i cant remember exactly

[ninuzu]

For question 7 I put the answer in decimal form, correct to three significant figures. Would that mean that I get no marks?

(Original post by Mr M)
periodic/repeating is fine

What about reoccuring sequence of o.5 and 4, thats what I put would I get "reoccuring"


also for 0.5<x<2 would I have got any marks for x>2 because i calculated that it needed 2 correctly but did put it the right way around

What was the technique for doing question 7 part A?

[Alex Newton]

If for question 1)ii) i got the sign between the two expansions wrong so i got all the wrong terms, will i lose both marks or only one??

Hi Mr M,

For the question that asked us to find the values of y for which the GP was valid, I put the modulus of y is less than something...I can't remember exactly what the number was but is there a correct version of the answer involving a modulus sign?

Thanks!

i think you had to realise that bcause tana =sina/cos a then if you drew out a trinagle the bottom length would be 5 the other would be 2 and so the hypotenuse would be squareroot 29 ( pythagoras) so then sin would be the bottom legth 5 over the hypotenuse so the answer is 5/square root 29
then u can rationalise the denominator but i dont think you had to :/

im really annoyed i didnt spot that in the exam :/

[britash]

How did you do questions 7 and 9.
I have *compleltely* different versions.. and i've super messed this up :/

Hi Mr M

Thank again for the mark scheme!
I got
7ai) 5 divided by root 29
ii) 2 root 10 divided by 7 (no minus)

So so you know if these will be marked correct?

Thanks again

6.(iii) (4 marks)

Mr M
did qu 6iii) have to be an exact value? I wrote BUT then wrote the decimal version next to it and underlined it do you think I'd get the mark??

Same. I got the decimal version. Doubt it matters x

About 7ii)
after the exam someone told me you need to make it minus because it wanted to obtuse angle.

I got what you got but then went and did 1-my answer to try and get the obtuse angle :/

[moose5515]

Grade boundaries?? Anyone

[h2shin]

For the ratio one, will 0<y<2 get 1 mark?

also what do you think the marks for 100ums would be?

MR M PLEASE HELP. for question three i STUPIDLY did not read the pie after 45, but all the rest of my working was correct. So how many marks will i lose for question three? Also for question 7 I left my answers unsimplified but they were correct, so do i loose marks? THANKS

[Dopey']

Thought i done well but lookin at the answers got a c/b lol

damn i did the exact same.
For q3 i didn't read the pi part which means i got 3ii wrong too.
q7 also, I did all of my answers in decimal form instead of surd form.
I think mr m has stopped responding, so i guess we'll all have to wait till august
