Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Paper 2016 Unofficial Markscheme

Scroll to see replies

Question 7, about the girl (Kirsty I think her name was) who wanted to paint varnish on her floor but didn't know if she had enough, was the answer that she didn't had enough? Because I worked it out to her having 50m^2 of floor to cover, which meant she needed 10 litres of varnish (I think?) as 1l covered 5m^2. But she only had 7.5l as she had three tins of 2.5l so she would have needed another tin to cover the floor. Was this correct?

Would I get the marks if I factorised it? For the envelope question?

On the right side of the triangle not the actual base of the triangle though right?

Yes it was the side most on the right( which was a nearly horizontal line) to the tangent (which was 69*)

the answer is 0.04


I'm pretty sure it is 0.76.
It asked for the probability of it not raining and the match not being cancelled.

Yes, in total she would need 4 tins, however you didn't need to state that.

High A or borderline A*
Taking in account how easy the exam was I'd say Solid A however with the calculator exam you can push it up to an A* if u do it good
Original post by mrpaper
Yeah, you had to do 1 - 4 = -3 and 2.5 - 4.5 = -2
(-3, -2)


yass i got that !!!
How many marks was the question of x^2=4(x-3)^2 Which the answer was x=2, x=6 ???
