Simply, Yes
Oh no! Just realised I made a stupid mistake solving

x=sinθ=3±174 x = sin\theta = \frac {3 \pm\sqrt{17}}{4}

I think I added 180 instead of 360, therefore got 164 degrees and 16 degrees.
I can't really remember. How many marks would I lose?
I did state that x=sinθ=3sqrt174 x = sin\theta = \frac {3 - sqrt{17}}{4}

When you form your own vector eqn of a line, I used alpha instead of meu, is that fine?


yeah, you could probably use a little picture of a cat as a parameter if you wanted and it wouldn't change the maths. greek letters are always good though.

Hmm. You may lose 1 mark, nothing more, or maybe you'll get away with it. :smile:

I really don't think you'd lose any marks as long as you use the same letter throughout

When you cry yourself to sleep.
I think I lost about 10 marks... so I'll probably get around 65/75... do you guys think this is enough to get an A?

I would consider it a ritual, just as much as AQA have a ritual of doing things to students.....dark things :s-smilie:
