Hi I'm going to start and unofficial markscheme so add your answers
Reps are not necessary but would be appreciated :smile:

Sorry for the hold up with the questions :colondollar:

1. Order numbers correctly and include a key (Stem and leaf) (3 marks)
b) 9/20=
0.45 (2 marks)
2a. 5a*2b*3c =
30abc (1 mark)
b. Factorise fully 3y +6 =
3(y+2) (1 mark)
c. Expand x(x-3)=
x^2-3x (1 mark)
3. Perimeter of a rectangle with side lengths x and x+4 is 45
x+x+x+4+x+4= 4x+8
4x+8=45
4x=37
x=9.25 (3 marks)
4. Smallest packet was best value for money because it was cheapest per bag of crisps (4 marks)
5. 4 times as many red than green: There were 0.4 blue and 0.15 yellow.
0.4+0.15+4x+x=1
0.55+5x=1
5x=0.45
x=0.09
4x=0.36
Green- 0.09 Red- 0.36 (3 marks)
6a. Body mass index= m/h^2
Mass= 50kg
Height= 1.57m
20.3 (2 marks)
b. What mass will result in a BMI of 21 with a height of 1.8m
68.04kg (2 marks)
c. Tom's skis can be a maximum of 145% of his height what is their max. tenght (Tom is 1.8m)
2.61m (3 marks)
7. Trial and error. x^3-5x=34 with a number between 3 and 4
x^3-5x=34
3.7 gives you 32.153 which is too small
3.8 gives you 35.872 which is too big
So you go in the middle at 3.75 and if it is too big then its you go with the smaller option and viceversa so 3.75 gives you 33.984375 which is too small so you go for the larger option of 3.8
3.8 (4 marks)

7.92 (4 marks)
11. Colin's drive to work
£42.29 (5 marks)
12. The middle angle of a pentagon
x=144 degrees (4 marks)
13.
-2 -1 0 1 2
-1 3 1 -1 3 (2 marks)
Draw curve (2 marks)
14. steel bar with length of 120cm and a cross sectional area of 72cm^2 and a density of 8g/cm^3. A trolley can carry 250kg so how many bars can it carry?
3 Bars (5 marks)
15. Pauls buys a car worth 15,000 pounds and the value depreciates by 23% in the first year and 18% after the first year. Has Paul's car lost half of its value in theree years?

16. Median on cumulative freq. graph
128g (1 mark)
b. Use graph to find interquartile range
11g (2 marks)
17. Triangle with sides 15.6cm (opp), 18(hyp). Angle is split into 2, 30 degrees and x degrees. the whole angle is 60.1 so
x=30.1 (4 marks)
18. 10a^5b^4 (2 marks)
b. y= 5p^2-x (3 marks)
19. 51 out of the 234 were maths in yr 12 so 50 * 51/234
11 males (2 marks)
20. 3x^2 + 6x -2
x= 0.29 or x= -2.29 (3 marks)

80.4
or 80.1 we are having a school debate, you couldd say a maths debate

I got 80.4 too. 🤗

I found this paper to be extremely difficult lol, (well it was easy on some questions) but ngl the ones that you'd find easy, were probably wrong as they try and trick you by overcomplicating it lol

so hopefully I scrape a C because i didnt do any of the last 7-8 questions right for a fact xd

Wasn't the last question like 1/2 * 7 * 8 Sin(X) = 18

56Sin(x) = 36

Sin^-1(36/56) = X

x = 40

???

I think I did it wrong then.

Oh f**k, I got 47.5! How did you get that? I used 1/2absinc, cosine rule and then sine rule - and triple checked it

For the trial and improvement one my few ids were saying they got 3.7 but I got 3.8 and I was 100% sure that was right?

I don't think so because the angle has to be between the two sides (7 &8) for the formula of triangle area to work and x was another angle so you had to do cosine to find another side and then sine rule too before you could get x. Not sure though. xx
