Edexcel A2 C3 Mathematics 12th June 2015

guys was the horizontal asymptote equal to -5

*NEWS FLASH*
The reason people on here think "the general consensus" is the paper was the hardest ever, etc etc, and the reason that silly straw poll is filled up with "very hard" votes, is because the people who do badly on maths are the ones who spend their time moaning on the internet, making Hitler videos, starting petitions, and generally crying about how badly they did.
The people who did well will be geting on with revising C4... maybe take a leaf out of their books?
Unfortunately the way qualifications work is that some people do well,others not so much. If you're the latter, I'm sorry for you, but moaning about it won't change that nor will "predicting" incredibly optimistic grade boundaries. GET A GRIP PEOPLE!

maybe people aren't trolling. It wasn't a bad paper. Every year students find their particular paper difficult, that's natural and expected. If you had done all the past papers, then there was nothing tricky on that paper. Most of the questions had been asked before in a similar way. The first question for example was taken from the June 13 withdrawn paper. The last part of the question on the trig one where you had to find values of K such that there's no solution, was taken from the June 13 international paper.

Sorry to say but it's just annoying when people cannot be bothered to prepare well and then complain about difficulty.

How many marks was 8a proof?

you know on the vectors question did you guys get a value of 3.94 or something?

Yeah I think many people who thought it was 'easy' or 'okay' will come out of their delusion. The was clearly not impossible, but it was above standard and to be honest far more tricky than June 2013. The issue is on one side I agree that in principle papers should be more tricky in order to prevent exam factories, but on the other hand they should have waited for the next specification in order to clean up.[/QUOTE]

Just so you got an easier time, you mean?

someone REPLY!

2a) asymptote when y=-5

and b and c how did u solve the mod equations.

I dont think ive seen some of 2 markers before and the 5 mark proof was quite different...

vector question was so good, surprised they put M1/C4 mix in the C3 paper.

Yes I also got that for the asymptote. I cant remember what b and c were but for one of them where you had to solve it was equal to 2 I did it equal to 2 and to -2

You multiplied the original graph of e^x by 2 so that the Y value was 2 and then -5 from it so it is now -3, then the asymptote must be 1 less then that so it is -4.

I thought it was fine too apart from question 8 with the ridic proof
