So I do the 2015 Edexcel A level Physics course and maybe this comes up in other exam boards idk,
So when you see a "show that question" usually you can do it or can't. if you can't do it, do you use the answer that it says to "show" for the next question? because most of the time the show that is to 2sf but the method they use for the next question uses a more prices answer that you shouldve gotten for the show that.
I'm saying this because even if you use the "show that" answer it is sometimes magnitudes off from the answer they want in the markscheme, if you were to use the more accurate answer.
Here's a scenario, if you have tried to get to the show that and have your own answer which you know isn't right but has more sig figs, do you use the "show that" with less sig figs or your wrong answer for the next question? Which would give more marks? This is assuming your method is completely right btw.
