Dude I've failed that, it was harder than all the past papers I've done. I panicked and ended up leaving half of it blank. Think I probably got like 30%. I'm not gonna get into uni at this rate since my offer needs an A* in further maths

Last part of the last question I found hard I got cos theta as -1 +√5. But I couldn't get anything to work after that , I liked the shm stuff though. It was a reasonable paper overall id say. I know the quadratic was squared for the last one based on working it out but didn't know how to give a geometric reason for it...

mate i swear all the past papers ive done, all the edexcel past papers i did aswell and all the questions ive done over past 2 years, none were as hard as that paper we sat today. The start was pretty easy but the vector laser beam question and the harmonic motion question were insane. Also what did you get for the r^2 = 9sin(2theta) question? I couldnt identify the error in the question which then meant i couldnt answer the entirety of that question?

What evil ******* at aqa made that paper. Swear I've never seen questions like half of them, but that might have been due to my lack of revision. Reckon I got 35% tho, and since I need a C that isn't too bad.

i agree, the polar curve question was absolutely vile, didn't even know where to start or how to draw it. the vectoe question was one i was actually confident about apart from the last part d, i got p=3 which worked to find the smallest angle

For r^2 = 9sin(2theta). One loop is positive and the other is negative. Hence integrating from -pi to pi will be 0. Integrate instead from 0 to pi and double.

Basically because there were two sets of conjugate pair solutions to z^5=1, the real part of a conjugate pair is the same, so the roots to that equation in terms of c had quadratic factors

did anyone get an answer for the damped harmonic motion that seemed reasonable?

I got the exact same thing, I didn’t manage to form the equation from the information in part a bit I think I got the rest of it so fingers crossed

(0.2 +t√(2))e^(-5t√2) I got
(0.2 +t√(2))e^(-5t√2) I got

can anyone remeber what the conditions of the shm question were like the lengths of AB and the tensions in each spring etc so i can try it again now?
