Same... -4/5 I think? Not 100%

Yeah, definitely correct, -2x -4/5 was PI I think

Can anyone tell me what they did for P and Q? I didn't even know where to start

I haven't had internet and struggled with the paper, so I doubt I'll be able to do a markscheme, but I will upload my answers later if no one else does :smile:

What i did: start by finding the expansion of (1-X^2)^-1
the sub it in and multiply out, then compare coeffs, although they were really awkward fractions so it was easy to make a mistake. It was 4 marks but it took me a while and i lost a lot of precious time because of that.

Can you remember the question, I want to re-work it and see if the answer jogs my memory, can't remember what I got.

How many marks did u lose best case scenario?

6 = best case and easily 10+ = worst case. I reckon 10 marks is the most accurate though :frown:

, hopefully that'll be an A!

For question 2 I got p=5/3 and q=8/5. It's probably wrong...

I think I got that cause my 2p=10/3

Can some put the marks for each question?

I think it was Sin2x - 2x(1-px^2)(1-x^2)^-1

What's even the point in studying.. they'll change everything anyway. We'll fail and then go live in the woods as hippies. Let's just skip the middle man now.

I know they want to make the papers harder, but you have to ease it. Like sex, you don't just plough straight in.

1. Ae^5x/2 - 2x - 4/5

2. 5/3, 8/5

3. Approximation: 2.081, 2.080

4. c=36, d=20, traslate 4 across

5. 0.5x^2 +3x +ln(x+1) +1

6. 1/36

7. I got my constants wrong but I believe this is correct: y= 2cos2x - 1/2(e^pi)sin2x + 1/2(e^4x) + xSin2x - 2xcos2x

8. (1/2)ln3 - 1/2
