It was hard, yeh. Grade boundaries will be low unless applied is super easy.

I hated the stupid paper I didn’t even have time to even do all the questions kill me now

Reply 6

absolute horror paper, grade boundaries should be at least 5 or 6 marks lower than last year

The region one was a negative cubic with a line. The intersections were given but you had to prove them. The region was between -4 and 2. The cubic at the top. Nothing like I had done before

The modelling was a log y vs x. They gave you the intersection with y and one point, you had to find the eq of the line in the form logy=mx + c. And interpreted the meaning of c and m. It was about smoke particles concentration from a chimney. That one was ok.

The log with exponential was about the value of two metals. Va = 2Vb and the min of one was the max of the other one. Very very hard.

The q about log was to express log a 256 and log a 125 and log a 3.2 in terms of P=log a 16 and Q = log a 25.

The grap was a reciprocal y= 1/x +3 and write down the eq of asymptotes and intersections with axis if any

I dont remember the circle one was it was to find the centre p,k. Didnt have time to attent that one. The trig one was a very hard triangle with sides x-a. So cosine and sine rule but didnt have time. Nothing on trig eq.
