UNOFFICIAL MARKSCHEME Edexcel Maths Calculator paper 09/06/2016

who done foundation ?

I got 3.7

The question asked you to work out the closest value that 'x' could be (to1 decimal place) if ("x cubed" - (5 multiplied by 'x' = 34

If you sub 3.7 into that equation you will get an answer of 32.153
If you sub 3.8 into that equation you will get an answer of 35.872

To then work out which is closest you had to work out the difference between each answer and 34.

For 3.7:
34 - 32.153 = 1.847

For 3.8:
35.872 - 34 = 1.872

Seeing as 1.847 is a smaller number than 1.872, it means that 3.7 is the closest value of 'x' to 1 decimal place

For the quadratic formula who got -0.20 and 3.20?

No its like saying 6-2 is the same as 2-6. They are different so u dont cancdl out

Might be wrong, however, I think it may have been the small packet as the unit cost was something like 0.22222 whereas the others were higher?

if i get around 100 marks out of 200, what grade would that be?

Am I the only one who found it awful?

For the ratio question I got 4:3 as the simplest form of 720:540, then 480 to change the ratio to 3:2
