    Also in question 7, what is the 6x to the power to? It's too fuzzy and I can't read it.

    I think you will only lose 1 mark.

    you kept the + in there when you should of multiplied. Log(3) + log(2) = log(6)

    essentialy the formula was in the form of y=kx^n which is the same as
    logy=logk +nlogx
    y = c + mx
    logk=2
    k=100
    n=3

    so if you simplify logy=logk +nlogx we get .... logy=log(kx^n) ..... get rid of the logs.... y=kx^n ...... therefore y=100x^3




    Im not great at explaining maths sorry

    Hopefully you're right, I wouldn't mind losing a mark there

    it wasnt a straight line. the axes were logy and logx which form a straight line.

    I lost 5 marks so dw :P

    Yeah I'm pretty sure it's that. I just redid the question and I got the same answer as I did in the exam so it must be a half.
