Integration by parts :wink:

... 18.24

I got the same answer but didm;t use integration by parts however I added 4 to every y in the table above and used trapezium rule again and got the same answer :confused:

Do you think I would get full marks for the second part of the trapezium rule question if I simply added four units to each height and then used the trapezium rule again to get the same answer? ;s

Hi5 I did the same :biggrin:

Considering loads of people found this paper difficult in my school I would think the grade boundaries would be similar to January 2010, where 100 UMS was 68- although, as this was an easier paper I'd say 100 UMS should be 69

AHH I made silly mistakes got 64 :s-smilie:

hopefully I can get an A :biggrin:

I got the first part of 8aii then didn't do the rest, was simple I dunno why!

In the last question I did the pythag the wrong way round :'(

And the integration I didnt get :s

Oh I know how they feel, I hope that gets you the A you wanted and I tend to answer a question correctly but back in my C2 exam I crossed out the right answer to give a wrong one, it annoyed me as I got 85 and probably would've got 90+ UMS as well, oh well you just gotta wait for results day now and time to focus more on your last two exams! :biggrin:

Well the majority of the students taking it at my 6th form also found it hard except from the student who normally gets an E :s-smilie:

Is there any chance an A may be around 60?

I wasn't focused at all so that I almost wrote "Math Error" instead of rejected next to the u=-3 in the factor theorem question :tongue:

It's possible but given that a lot of people seem to have found it straightforward I wouldn't count on it. Ask your teachers, they would be able to give the best guesses at grade boundaries.

Why does Edexcel keep churning out the same straightforward C2 papers? :redface:

. Firstly June 2012, then Jan 2013 and now this... trust me everyone thinks they got 100 UMS :s-smilie:

The students here are generally very able or/and motivated.
There will be enough marks dropped across the national cohort to make the paper 64ish for 80 UMS.
