If you are talking about the last question, no there was no angle. You got the angle by rearranging the Area equation .

Area = ( absinC)/2Sin-1 C

= 18x2/(7x8)

= 40.00520088 degrees (DO NOT ROUND)

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2 x b x c

= 27.20955764 cm (DO NOT ROUND)

Cos A^-1= (b^2 + c^2 - a^2) / 2 x b x c

= 80.37550115= 80.4 degrees

How many marks would i get if i did round those answers. I still did everything else correct.

Guys for Collins car question I forgot to add on the initial car park cost how many marks would I get I'm thinking maybe 3 due to having correct methods but lost 2 for the answer

Also for the rearranging the formula
It was y=5p^-x
Isn't it permissible to simplify to y=p-x÷5p because technically that is the same

What if I used 3.142 as pie?

For the trial and improvement, the answer is 3.7, because the value that 3.7 gives is closer to 35, cant remember the figure, but the figures are very close

I have a question. It's okay if I used 3.142 as pie for the last question? I got close to 80.4. I think I got 81.1 as my answer to 1dp. Would I still get some marks. ( I showed the working out)

I believe you would get Method Marks and lose out on the Accuracy Mark(s) hence lose only 1 (or maybe 2) marks if they are harsh.

If you didn't work out the value with X=3.75 you won't get full marks even if you've chosen the correct answer

Thats exactly what i got, that is correct some people say 3.8 is answer which is incorrect

The paper usually says you can use 3.142 as pi.

Hence, you would get Method Marks and will lose out on the Accuracy Mark(s) if you still rounded in the middle of calculations.

Will the completed paper be uploaded like the non-calculator was, because I cant really remember any of the questions so it would be helpful to see the full paper?
