    I hope I get a B or more, which should be ok with around 130/200 I guess? This is a bit of a downer for me because I'm hoping to achieve A's in maths, chem and bio at A level.

    Yeah, I agree! I wanted to use integration... I ended up drawing trapeziums beneath and calculating area :P I got something between 75-80..

    For the Ts Co-Ordinates I put (and it worked!)

    The trapezium rule in a graph, the sin graph at the end and the huge question about the 5sided(?) shape.
