Edexcel FP2 Official 2016 Exam Thread - 8th June 2016

Zero isn't a natural number...lol

Actually depends on the context/branch of study..lol

Sometimes it is (i.e. when you are using the Peano axioms) lol.

Nope.

N_0 exists for a reason.

Zero is by no means a Natural number

N_0 != N

Can anyone confirm that for q3 (roots of the complex number), the modulus was 2? so the answers were 2e^ipi...

How did people do the series question, I couldn't get most of it to cancel.

Samb, I know that the question wasn't exactly on spec and I'm definitely not the right person to be saying this, but don't you think some questions in a further maths paper should get you to think? It wasn't exactly STEP level to be fair.

Easiest paper I've done for fp2. Full UMS in the bag. Hmu if you wanna know any solutions

Then use fp1 formula for the sum of 1 to n, and 3n for all the 3s.

Method of diffs sorted out two of the parts of it. Then use fp1 formula for the sum of 1 to n, and 3n for all the 3s.

For q2: I got 1/2 + n/2(n+1) - 3n + (n+2) I think. Was this is? I think I got -7 and -13. Might have added the wrong.

Also for the de moir expansion I forgot about the minus signs so I got all positive constants. They were the right values but because of this I got part b wrong.
