Edexcel AS Mathematics C2- 25th May 2016 Thread

I feel I am hard enough

what would be the best strategy to prepare for C2 from now, plus i dont have any exams in between so how should i go about this, i need to do really well considering i flopped c1

Seems like people might be running out of things to do in C2.

Here's a problem:

Prove that the area of a triangle of lengths a, b, c and adjacent angles A, B and C is given by $\frac{1}{2}absin(C)$

Hence by considering the area of a triangle of lengths a, b, c and adjacent angles A, B and C prove the Law of Sines $\displaystyle \frac{a}{sin(A)} = \frac{b}{sin(B)} = \frac{c}{sin(C)}$

I don't think you have to prove these

I think only if you understand why something works, can you make it work for you

This would never be asked as an exam question though, you're correct

I feel the struggle as well, I took Chem and physcis! Are you doing aqa or edexcel?

Fancy having a go at my question?

Either everyone has chickened out or they haven't seen it yet

Anyone got any predictions for C2?

Expecting the harder topics to appear in the paper (eg binomial expansions, trigonometry, etc)

"Hard topics"... "Binomial Expansion" u wot?

sorry?

Im doing edexcel :| what about you?

why is binomial expansion classed as a "hard topic"?

When it is used as the basis for approximation tonnes of candidates get caught out each year
