For the sum I got -1/k for the product 1 and the the second part 1/k^2

And for the difference method question I got the sum to infinity as 1/3 but others got 1/6 how about u?
I thought that was alright, at least compared to M2...
I got:
1)
1/2 * n(n-1)(2n+3)
2)
i) sqrt(3)-3i
ii) -1/49 + 4sqrt(3)/49 i
3)
i) alpha + beta = -1/k
alpha * beta = 1
ii) (alpha + 1/alpha) * (beta + 1/beta) 1/k^2
4)
i) (5a-3b 10 0)
ii) (6b-5)
iii) (6a 12 18)
(4a 8 12)
(-a -2 -3)
5) [inductive proof]
6)
i) |z-3-3i| = sqrt(5)
ii) [argand diagram]
iii) 2 + 5i, 4 + i
7)
i) Shear, x axis invariant, (0,1) mapped to (3,1)
ii) (0 -1)
(-1 0)
Reflection in y=-x
8)
i) [Show that]
ii) n / 3(2n+3)
iii) 1/ 2(2n+1)
9)
i) [Show that]
ii) The equations were consistent
10)
i) +/- (5 + 4i)
ii) [Show that]
iii) +/- (5/41 +/- 4/41 i)

I think I got everything bar the argand diagram question (how many marks was that?) Strange times when C1 is harder than FP1

I think I got the same answers for the questions I remember so that's pretty good but am gutted I couldn't do the last question

I got the same as you for both of those.
I have a feeling it was 2/3 for the argand diagram and 3 for the pints of intersection but I could be wrong

I agree with all of these except 8iii, which IIRC was a sum to infinity, so shouldn't have an n anywhere in it. <- THIS IS WRONG I CAN'T ****ING READ

I'm fairly sure it was a sum from n to infinity

Between n and infinity so the sum from 1 to n-1 needs to be defined in terms of n

****, if that's true I didn't read the question correctly. There goes some marks.
Was also 1/blah instead of 2/blah as shown in part i

I think there was just a sum
To infinity as well as this

Actually the lower limit was n, so you had to subtract the equation with n-1 substituted for n. Their answer is right.

Yeah I'd don't read the 2 as well

Same lol. Think I'll have got 0 for that one.
Was a pretty good paper, only thing i fear now is very high boundaries :s

At least it weren't just me:smile: Do u know how many marks it was?

Think between 3 and 5, don't know for sure though.

Okay thanks I'm hoping I will have only dropped 10 marks at most as I know I lost 4 on the last question and then some on here

I think I dropped about 10 as well. Should be a low to middling A if the previous years grade boundaries are anything to go by.
