Factorise first without the y:

5x^2 + 4x - 12

The answer will be similar with a couple of added 'y's. See if you can work it out.

Me, I'm rather unprepared since I missed out of getting an A* in my January Maths iGCSE by 1 mark, so I sat it again. As a result I had minimal time to focus on Further Maths :frown:
Me... but I haven't really prepared.
I done most of it in the first module of A-level Maths, lucky lol. Need to revise at least 1 hour, can't do past papers :angry: no time need to revise for Chemistry.

(5x-6y)(x+2y)

Is this right?

Yes, that's correct :smile:.
Can we all agree between each other to try and make an unofficial mark scheme after tomorrow's exam? I'm willing to contribute but I'll need help :smile:

Well im not exactly promising mine will be amazing either, but seeing as how you're actually doing the course I'd say your answers will be worth considering at the least :smile:

I do further maths , for revision i went over some topics like factor theorem , nth term limiting values , calculas , matrices and all the trig stuff. I'm aiming for an A* but secretly hoping i can manage an A^* , i'll be willing to contribute to the unofficial mark scheme tomorrow :smile:. Good luck everyone!

I feel you, I'm having the same difficulty covering everything on the Further Maths spec :s-smilie:

However I'm also on AQA for Chemistry, so I've already done my exams :smile: Good luck with yours!

Thanks lol.
My only problem is that I started revising for both of the exams today, so I haven't finished neither of the exam's content.
Chemistry is half done, Further Maths idek.
I'm on OCR for chemistry so that's this afternoon!!! And I have a clash for further maths so that's this morning, I get it early 😁
