I didn't tidy up my answer like you guys...I left it as ln(0.5)/-0.25 :awkward: will it still be ok?

I think it would be fine, my friend (who's really good in maths) left it as
ln(0.5)/-0.25 too. remember in the Mark scheme they say ( an answer or eq). So probably your answer would be fine.

and what was the answer for that ff(-3) question? is it +2?


Yeah, it was

Thanks. I would hate it if I did all the working out, got the right answer but left it in the wrong format and lost a mark, lol.

For the last question I recognised that it was a quadratic but got a ludicrous answer (36 I think). How many marks do you think I will get?

Lol, as much as I am overwhelmed with such compliments - sadly, I am not John! :P - Nice to meet you though!


You too :smile:
Just texted John to make sure...he's basking in the Californian sun... Whilst we're freezing in the British weather ... :frown:

omg really! i remember there was a question like that in the pastpapers! and the answers was the the y of the other coordinate! lol lucky lucky! and is there any workings to show?

f(f(-3)) = ff(-3)

f(-3) = 0

So ff(-3) = f(0)

f(0) was the other coordinate with y value of 2

There's not much working to go with it. When you have ff(x), it means, put x into f(x) and then put that value of f(x) into f(x) again. So the first time you put x = -3, you can read from the graph that f(-3) = 0, then you put f(-3) back into f(x), so f(0), which will give you 2 :smile:
Since we're now officially waiting for our hero Arsey to post the UMS, how did you guys found this paper compared to the previous papers ???

I'm not sure if you would since it was a two mark question and considering you could just guess the correct value from the graph, I think you'll only get the one mark.

this paper was let's say average. there are a lot harder papers than this and a lot easier ones too! so this one's malcolm in the middle! :colondollar:

I have to agree. :smile: I think that this paper was an average paper compared to the previous years. Others may disagree though.

I remember when I use to complain about finding the range for 1 mark.

Just found out i missed the last part of a question off, the one about h(x)? apparently it was find the range of the function? does anyone know how many marks thats worth?

was 4 marks

pretty sure the range is 0 <= h(x) <= root(5)/5

not sure though

Hopefully it was just 4, i think i got every other mark, just a shame to miss it though...
