the second mark is out of the question, the case I would appeal for is one mark
although i am aware that my working indicates i have no idea what is going on, I did write k=3, which is to be awarded a mark, according to the ms
although k is bigger than or equal to 3 follows my k=3 and that shouldn't be awarded the mark, to quote the general guidance for marking c3/4, incorrect statements following a correct answer should be ignored
whilst i know this is me arguing for a mark on a technicality, at the end of the day, i want an A*, so would appreciate opinions on whether anyone thinks such an appeal would succeed
am pretty sure that the other mark I need would be awarded, as I have written exactly what the mark scheme requires. thus, it all hinges on whether I would be awarded the above mark
