I can't remember, I think I might have not substituted in the limits. Do you remember which question this was? Was it two parts or just one part?


it was the integral of 1 over the square root of a quadratic, where it had -x^2 as a coefficient. you had to complete the square, etc

Solutions - Let me know if any need changing.
1)3 and -2
2)5/8+ln(3/2)
3)k=2
4)pi/3 2/3arctan(e^x/3)
5)25/3-32/15root2
6)9 then p=7 and q=5, the eigenvector is (2,1,-2) and then there will be varying orders of the eigenvectors for P.
7)1/12(pi+6root3-6)
8)7x+5y-9z=8 and my a was (11/8,-13/8,0) and b was (11/8,-1/8,1) although others may differ.


wasnt for the line of intersection a=(11/8, -13/40, 0) and b looks the same as mine, it seems like we both cancelled z and worked like that, i dont understand how u got 8 as denominator?? i may be wrong

I can't remember if I subbed in the limits. How many marks was it?

5 marks i think

I agree with all but I don't remember this pi/3 at all. Do you remember the question?
AHHH **** I forgot to sub the e^x in U.. ****.!

It was the one where we had to integrate a polynomial but it was 1/the polynomial and the coefficient of x^2 was -1

Am I the only one who liked the integrating questions ? You can literally check ur answers to see if they are correct


to be honest my casio fx-991es saved my life in A2 maths, i can just check all my integrals, differentials, matrices on it

Was the polynomial root( 4 - (x-1)^2 )?
Im so glad the questions I couldn't do were worth 3 marks😂😂
Quite a nice paper honestly I just couldn't figure out the reduction formula and the proof for arcoth.

it was part i, where part ii had part a and b within it, was with the substitution question, right above it
How did you guys prove they were perpendicular? I did the dot product and got theta is 90

The question was the integral between 3 and 5 of 1/root(15+2x-x^2) if I remember correctly which integrated to arcsin((x-1)/4) with those bounds which went to pi/2 - pi/6 which is pi/3.

yhh i just worked out the normal vector for plane 2 and normal vector for plane one was pretty much given, then i just dotted the two together and got 0, same way as u got pheta=90 tbh

Oh yea now I remember. It was arcsin(5-1/4) - arcsin (2/4) = pi/3, thanks man I was scared I had left it without subbing.

ahh i got a different answer for 2. I got 19/12ln(6) i might be wrong

I believe I recorded mine wrong as I remember also getting -13/40. I shall correct that and repost the answers.

How many marks would I lose for not putting u=e^x? I.e. not resubbing the e^x. I am not even sure I didn't do it, but I think so.
Need help with last question could someone upload a photo please of working out from memory If possible

I envy your memory my friend. All's correct, high five.

i did the dot product of the two normal vectors, which is 0 (cos90)
