I thought I was sitting a FM paper
Like double parts integration, weird trig, 5 marks for finding the range of a function etc lol all answers were so ugly

Terrible paper

Mind went blank when everything with sec and tan came up ffs

It seems to be that all the papers this year are slightly unusual or difficult. I could answer some of the questions if you post them here.

Holy **** I completely f***ing bombed that. There's no way I can get an A in maths now, unless I ace Core 4 but that's worse than C3. And I really need an A for do in FP and uni :/

I think I got everything right if I didn't make any silly mistakes.
But there was solid of revolution question which was a double parts thing and
x=1 to x=1/3
y=(ln3x)/x
For which I got something like pi (-(ln3x) ^2+2ln3+4) I can't remember exactly but it was ugly

Finding range we had to differentiate to get maximum point

Then we had to show secx+tanx=-0. 2 given that secx-tanx=-5, my friends had problem with it and it was 2 marks but I took half a page to work it out!

For triangle I got (e^2+1)^2/e^3
