You cant

You can solve it, but you cant factorise it

Why is arn used instead of arn-1 in question 6 January 2010?

Question Paper
Mark Scheme
Examiner's Report


This video should explain it https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=30&v=Pb0RHOjfQag

where can you get the info for 100UMS on each year


It'll be 74-75
Do you get marked down if you answer in degrees when the intervals are in radians?

They don't explicitly say 'give your answers in degrees/radians' :erm:

Yes you do. If its radians then you answer should be. They dont need to state it to know a accuracy mark off.

I dontknow edexcel, I do ocr but in our papers we will get marked down if our FINAL answer is in degrees when the question talks about radians.

2(x^3 - 8) ?
Does anyone have any ideas on what will be on the paper and in what order? Like what will be the hard questions, trig or integration etc. I think you will have to prove the sum of n terms formula as it hasn't appeared in three years.

X=2 is a root. Divide x-2 !

Guys when doing geometric sequences and solving summation questions when do you use:
just "n" as in ar^n
and "n-1" as in ar^n-1

Part a I posted above, my phone is crap lol soz
Here part b, it's a tray so you don't need the surface area of the top
Use Pythagoras to find slanted edge
Part a just form an equation to find volume
