For the area question, I split it into 2 triangles instead, had to go the route of finding the length of lines and stuff ended up with some crazy answer at the end with a square root in it. any one else take this approach
Anybody go down this route for the area question? I didn't spot the triangle and the square, looking at the solutions woulda saved me a lot of time if I went for the other method
I created a new point and called it z where L1 crosses the x axis then did the big triangle ZQR-ZPO.
For question 11 I got k as -41/4 raher than 41/8 as I forgot to times the 4 by (-2) !! Question C and D consequently were wrong (2 marks each) but they were right in refernce to my k. Will I drop all the marks for these two parts or get half marks or do they accept carry through marks as they are seperate question? please help meeeeee
SAME!! I did exactly this. Hey @Arsey could you please answer this question, as it would determine whether or not I get an A.
For Question 9, I didn't realise that the guy only got money after his 10th birthday so i did it like he was receiving the money since he was 1... but my method was right, will I get any marks? If so roughly how many? Ecf?

Probably. I made the mistake on part e of it because I forget to add 9.
Due to the poll, being on a site for a lot of bang outs, showing that this exam was hard, do you think that grade boundaries will be lower.
You won't believe how many stupid mistakes I made. If I had time to double check I could have done so much better :'(

yup me too. how many marks do you think we'll get?
You won't lose marks don't worry Look at the jan 2013 paper, there was a similar question worded exactly the same. You get full marks even if you don't state what y= writing y=... is just an alternative
For question 11b, I got the k value as 41/2 and wrong because I forgot to divide by 4. I follwed through with this k value and got parts c and d wrong. How many marks would I get for this working. Thankss!
