Edexcel A2 C4 Mathematics June 2016 - Official Thread

The Solomon papers have been taken down, which is annoying.

What papers did you need?

C3,C4 and S2.

Or just google them. They are unfortunately still all over the internet.

Edexcel C4 - 9th June 2016 AM

Last year's thread was up before this one so I thought it was about time to start a thread for those preparing for the C4 exam this summer! I've linked to some resources below, let me know if there are more I should add.

Is it really on the 9th of June?

Is it really on the 9th of June?

No 26 ish

Thanks for pointing that out!

It's on the 24th June, I'll amend it now

Question 1:

Using $tan(x) = \dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

Evaluate

$tan(x+35) = cot(x-53) ; 0 \leq x \leq 180$

Are you doing the exam?

Question 1:

Using $tan(x) = \dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}$

Evaluate

$tan(x+35) = cot(x-53) ; 0 \leq x \leq 180$

Without using $tan(x) = \dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}[br]$

Needed an excuse to practise my LaTeX:

Without using $tan(x) = \dfrac{sin(x)}{cos(x)}[br]$

Needed an excuse to practise my LaTeX:

note that there are sneaky ways to rewrite sina * sinb and cosa * cosb

edit: ah do you know that but want to do it otherwise? If so sorry lol

Yes you are missing a trick (: plus it says using tan = sin/cos

Would they be allowed to ask that I wonder? I don't remember if the appropriate identity is on the spec

It is a really simple question (: yes they can ask you this

I found it simple because I knew what to do, but I don't remember ever having to do it at A level. I guess it's about as bad as that similar 2013 C3 one. Did this last year so not worried about being asked it (although I recently had to use the same trick on an analysis assignment ), just curious/like to keep the spec in my memory in case I can help someone with Edexcel
