Im pretty sure there was log graph or cubic graph somewhere

There could be more graph drawing because they’ve extended the papers marks this year. They didn’t test graph transformations at all during 15,16,17 and 18

I mean graphs like f(2x)+1

So if you were to draw an inverse of a curve is it just the mirror of it?

Just drawing the reflection of the curve across the line y=x, so (5, 2) becomes (2, 5) and so on.

This is ending up like biology, IMO biology was harder, but this was still very difficult with lots of funny numbers.

Paper 1 was alright...paper 2 not so much.

Does anyone have the answers?

I thought it was quite a fair paper. Paper 1 I think I only missed 7-9 marks. Paper 2 was pretty decent apart from optimisation part a).. didn’t even try it. Part b) took a little while to simplify and get x. That polynomial question wasn’t that bad if you studied it properly.

overall very bad. paper 1 was bad for me but maybe that’s just because i’m dumb, paper 2 however was just impossible

For the polynomial question, is it possible to factorise the quadratic, or do you just leave it in the (x+1)(x-1)(3x^2+4x+2) format?

I got an A in higher maths at school but I would be STUNNED if I got an A in that paper.

My teacher said it couldn't be factorised any further so it should be right. I don't see where the 5 marks come from though

Yeh I got that answer, and I expected to have to do more since there was so many marks available.
