Edexcel GCSE Mathematics Paper 3 Higher (1MA1 3H) - 10th June 2024 [Exam Chat]

is there any difference between this paper and paper 2? or is it just whatever doesn't come up in paper 2 will be in this one

guys what topics are likely to come up

Does anyone have a list? I can barely keep track of my own answers let alone what topics came up

will the grade boundaries be low this year since the math papers have been quite hard so far ?

Hello Everyone! Just a reminder that functions have not yet come up! Therefore we'll be expecting them in Paper 3H.
Here's a few practice questions:
(1) The functions f and g are such that
f(x) = 3x² + 5, x > 0
g(x) = x^-1(1 + 3x) , x is not equal to 0
(i) Solve f(x) = 23.75

(ii) Find an expression for g^-1(x)

Another function, h(x), is such that h(x) = kx³
Given h(0.5) = 0.75,
(iii) find the value of the constant k.

I had a really bad headache during the paper today and my vision went blurry (I literally could not read most of the questions),my headache prevented me from thinking properly so I didn’t put my hand up, I sat through the exam hoping it would go away but it didn’t until the last 4 mins of the exam. I was going to take maths a level in hopes that I would get a 9but now I don’t think I will even get a 7. I have emailed my exams officer about this. Do you thinkit’s possible I could resit? As special conditions only offer 1 extra mark but I literally lost 80% of my marks because of this (again I literally could not read most of the questions)

Functions did come up, but only in a few 2 markers

Hello Everyone! Here are some mixed questions for Paper 3H (Edexcel Mathematics 1MA1)
These questions are targeted at grades 8-9, so please do not feel discouraged if you have difficulty answering them effectively (or at all).
These are tailored for Paper 3H based on the appeared topics in prior papers.
(1) The curve C with equation y = 3x² + 5 - 2x
and the straight line with equation y = 14/3 touch at point P.
Find the coordinates of the point P.

(2) Prove that 2⁴⁰ - 1 is the product of two consecutive odd numbers.

(3) C is a circle with equation x² + y² = 12.25
The point P lies on the circle.
The point P has coordinates (2.1, 2.8)
The line L is a tangent to the circle at point P.
Find an equation of L.
Give your answer in the form ax + by = c, where a, b and c are integers.

(4) A graph has equation y = ab^x , where a > 0 and b > 0
The point P and Q lie on the graph.
Point P has coordinates (3, 0.75)
Point Q has coordinates (5, 0.1875)
Find the values of a and b.

(5) Given that
2ⁿ = 2^{x^2} × 16^x × 8
and
x > 0
find an expression for x in terms of n.
State any restrictions on n.
(Please note the x^2 means the x is squared, so it's 2 to the power of x squared.)

(6) Triangle ABC is a non right-angled triangle.
AB = (2x - 1) cm
AC = (2x + 1) cm
Angle BAC = 30°
The area of triangle ABC is (x² + x - 3.75) cm²
The largest angle in this triangle is obtuse.
Find the size of the largest angle in the triangle.
Give your answer correct to the nearest degree.

(7) There are only blue pens and red pens in a box.
The number of blue pens is four times the number of red pens.
Rita takes at random one pen from the box.
She records the colour of the pen and then replaces it in the box.
Rita does this n times, where n ≥ 2
Write down an expression, in terms of n, for the probability that Rita gets a blue pen at least once and a red pen at least once.

Hi, where did you get these from?
