What was question 7a asking again?
Hi Mr M thanks for posting this :smile:how many marks do you think i have lost:
*for q3iii i left the answer as 625root5, instead of writing it as 5^k
*for q5ii i think that i wrote 6x+8y-29=0 instead of -8y
*for q8iii i wrote k as k>25/8 with no minus and sign wrong way round
*and q10iii i wrote 40 then crossed it out and wrote 50, but how many marks for finding Q and R, and writing that area=1/2basexheight ?
thank you :smile:

If someone gets 68/72, and the grade bounday for an A is say 64, what will be the persons UMS?

For Q10iii you,ll probably lose the A1 mark

it was differentiating one, don't remember formula but integrating it, it wld have been -x^3+5x^2-3x+c
Hi Mr M thank you for posting :biggrin:
I was wondering how many marks I'de lose, if i got the area wrong due but the two points corrects and the base x height/2 correct too, (i got the area as 21 because i unexplainably changed a 0,8 to a 0,5).
And how many marks for forgetting to put down one of the y answers for the simultaneous equations question, but working out the two x co-ordinates (leaving one as 28/6).
Also where do you think the A grade boundary would be as well as the marks for 100 ums?

f(x)=(x2+3)(5x)f(x)=(x^2+3)(5-x)

Find f'(x).

Find the gradient of y=x13y=x^{-\frac{1}{3}} when x = -8

Drop 1 mark in each case

I don't guess boundaries but I'm fairly sure you will need 72/72 for 100 UMS.
What did question 10(ii) ask?

What did question 10(ii) ask?


Show the tangent to x2+y210x+4y+4=0x^2+y^2-10x+4y+4=0 at (8,2) has equation 3x+4y=32
I put K=-25/8, how many marks would i lose?
for 7b i differentiated correctly but somehow ended up with -1/192 when i subbed in -8, will i get any marks?
what was the question to 8i)?
Does anyone know what 3i was? :smile:

Sketch y=2x2x3y=2x^2-x-3
