well imaginary part was i{4a+4)

but its real so i comp is 0

4a+4=0

a = -1

Not that i meant the series question in the form of 1/6(ax^2+bx+c)

2 marks so i assume so

I thought it was 2 marks because one of the lines had double the length of the other too.

You have knowIedge from two additionaI further maths maths units

You do STEP for whatever reason which enhances your problem solving skiIIs cconsiderably

Think before you post pIz

Alright I'm sorry. I forget that this is an AS exam. I was stumped on 9b for a little while because I was doing one of the points minus the other.

I hope I'm wrong, but the teachers at my school said they were't allowed to look at the paper until tomorrow, so I doubt that the mark scheme will get put up for a while. I hope I'm wrong though

You have a graphing calculator? Do you ever find yourself having to use the graphing function?

Maybe in FP2, where you have to plot families of graphs?

Anyone remember how many marks the last two parts of 9 were worth?

Think I lost all them marks but got the rest the paper

For the first proof by induction is it alright if I didn't do the step shown in the pic?

I got till second last step and didnt realise you could factorise it .... face-palm

So showing that T^2 = I wouldn't get you the mark?

Self-inverse isn't really a topic in itself. The clue is in the name - you had to show that the inverse of the matrix is the same as the matrix itself. And that requires FP1 techniques
