Expecting full marks, all of my answers seem identical to the ones here. Still, not the easiest paper!
~60 for an A I reckon.

Unoffical Mark scheme for C2 AQA 2016

It would help if you could correct the amount of marks in each question if it is wrong please :biggrin:

Questions:

1)a) integrate something to get -36x-1 + ax2 /2 [3]
b) find the value of a when the answer to 1)a) is equal to 16 with limits of 3 to 1, a = - 2 [2]

2)a) Draw the graph of (0.2)x and state where it crosses axis (0,1) [2]
b) use logarithms to solve (0.2)x = 4 , x = -0.861 [2]
c) describe transformation of (0.2)x onto (5)x reflection in y axis [1]

3)a) differentiate something to get 3x-1/2 -1 [2]
b) find y co-ordinate of the maximum point M M(9,6) [3]
c) equation of normal to curve at P i think P was (5,6) y=-2x+13 [2]
d) the normal to curve at P is translated by (0,k) find value of k, k = 5.5 [3]

4)a) show that a+10d=8 [2]
b)sum to 2nd and 3rd term is 50, work out the 12th term of the series D=-2 and A=28, u12 = 6 [3]
c) work out the sum of the 21st term minus sum of 3rd term = 90 [3]

5)a) show that thetha (in radians) was 0.568 [2]
b) work out area of triangle 19.9 [2]
c) work out perimeter of shaded area, first piece of info given -> area of sector = area of shaded area

you had to realise that the area of sector = area of triangle - area of sector
re-arrange to get 2(area of sector) = 19.9 and solve for r to get 5.36?
perimeter of shaded = (9-r) + (8-r) + 5 + (length of arc = r*theta)
perimeter of shaded = 13.8 [6]

6)a)trapezium rule to get 65.6 [4]
b) describe transformation of graph y=(x2 +9)1/2 onto y = 5 + (x2 +9)1/2
Translation by (0, 5) [2]
c) describe transformation of graph y=(x2 +9)1/2 onto y=3(x2 +1)1/2 Stretch by scale factor 1/3 in x direction [2]

7)a) expand (2+x)5 work out p q r, i think p was 10 q was -80 and r was 80 (correct me if im wrong) [4]
b)find the coefficient of x10 in the expansion of (2+x)5 * (something else)7
it was something like -1648 [4]

8) find the value of tan(x) tan(x) = -5/4 [4]
b) re-arrange 16+9sin2x / 3 - 5cosx into the form p + qcosx and find the min value = 2, this is when x is equal to pi [4]

9)re-arrange something into the form (c)1/2 / d^2 to get 3y y = 1/2 ( m + 12n) [4]
b) find the one and only solution of something, x = 5/2 ( you should get two equal roots i think) [4]

7a was the question about the expansion of (1-2x)^5 and p was -10, q was 40 and r was -80 i think.

You had to find the x value of the normal line at y = 6, I think it was 3.5, then the x value at M was 9, so 9 - 3.5 = 5.5


Dammit, I forgot to take it away from 9 -.-

I got 3^(-m+4n) for 9a and 9/10 for b? Also, -1552 for 7b

For all you dummies who got 90 on 4c watch this video and you'll realise it was 198 😂😂😂😂

https://youtu.be/kCbEsrVEBco


It was 90😭😭
I got -2688 or something for the binomial😂😂 damn as I thought you had to find out x^5 for each term and then times them as you add the powers. Lol I failed

What you did is correct; you just forgot that x^7 x x^3=x^10 and that x^4 x x^6=x^10.
So you were missing two of them to finish it off.
Will I get a mark for not saying (0, 1) on 2a? I did put 1 where it crossed the y-axis and zero on the graph but didn't state the coordinates.
I can't remember if I did the normal right! I'm doing it now though and I can't get an answer so are the numbers in the mark scheme correct!?

Yes, they generally say in the mark scheme allow y-intercept to be marked on the graph as a 1

I think that's fine; but in doubt I would probably put 0,1.

Mtangent was=1/2 therefore Mnormal=-2. Therefore you just write y-5=-2(x-4) or whatever. I think he just expanded and rearranged it which is fine too.

I got R (for perimeter) as 5.919 I did 0.5r^2theta = 9.95 then rearranged it for R and got 5.919? Anyone else

i put (1,0) by mistake

but the sketch was correct,
and above the sketch i said 'when x=0 , y=1'

but i put the cor-ordinate the other way around :frown:

will i still get the full marks ?
yup, I most definitely failed. with dignity x)

Potentially, mark schemes generally disallow marks if there is a contradiction, and in your case there is a contradiction, so really it depends on how observant the marker is!
QUESTION 8B:

(Copied from first post):

8) find the value of tan(x) tan(x) = -5/4 [2]
b) re-arrange 16+9sin2x / 3 - 5cosx into the form p + qcosx and find the min value = 2, this is when x is equal to pi [4]

For part B, wouldnt x= 0, 2pi?

As it was 5 - 3cos(theta)

If theta = pi then its:

5 - (3*-1) = 8

hence theta should be 0 or 2pi as this gives:

5 - (3*1) =2 = Minimum value?

Also i think the question had it as plural??

Or am i missing something here?

It was 5 + 3cosx
Also the question had it as 'value', not plural

can I just say I did that for 9b at first and got plus/minus 5/2
but then I thoughts
you can't just "say" that you can't put logs at negative so +5/2 would be the answer so I crossed it out and used b^2-4ac= 0 on the quadratic that it formed - will I still get the marks???? FMLLLLLLL
