Besides sequences in c2, what else do we have to be able to prove the formula for?


Sum of a geometric sequence is the only proof you will need, and it has a high chance of coming up (as it hasn't for the past few years).
Alright if I'm done solving the solomon papers, is there anything else that could serve as better practice?

Put the values of x into the formula they mentioned, and get values of y for those values of x.

I'm so screwed for this paper... I'm pretty sure I did badly in C1 so I really need a decent UMS in this :emo:

That was such an easy question lol, but I hope trapezium rule doesn't come up bc apparently I can't do it.

Edexcel C2 January 2007 was the last paper, as far as I know. Better safe than sorry.

If you join ABO you get an equliateral with π/3 as angle

Shaded area = half Of circle - 2 unshaded areas

Part d on this question confuses me. I've drawn a diagram, but can't get my head around how they got the angle ARQ. I drew a diagram from my understanding of the situation. Is there anything wrong with it?
