For question 11, couldn't x coordinate also be 3pi/2 how are you supposed to figure out which specific value it is..

thnx

From the graph, it's the first time y=0, besides for when t=0.

I would say because it is the first intersection after the origin it has to be the smallest positive value of t

Plug it into your parametric equation and get values for (x, y)

I don't suppose you know why that paper is 'withdrawn'? It's not any of the official papers on the edexcel website...

There was some controversy over the 2013 A2 Maths papers. I can't remember exactly what happened, by I think there was a leak or a large shipment of papers were lost. I think it was the latter.
