OCR GCSE Mathematics Paper 2 Higher (J560/05) - 3rd June 2024 [Exam Chat]

I thought it was amazing tbh didn’t get some questions but only max of 10 marks combined. Here are some of my answers
16pi+ 12[3- for 7 marker
84- for the cups of juice
2 1/9 - for midpoint of line question with recurring decimal
8000 for a and 0.8 for b- for the depreciation
X=-5/6 and 3 I think can’t remember my y’s- for the substitute y as x towards the end
R=2x - for the give x in terms of R
Can’t remember anymore

i got 96 for k on the circle question and found the cups one so hard i got 16 which i felt was way off, but other than that it was pretty good

Same for the orange juice, 7 marker and depreciation
But 4 5/9 for midpoint
R = x*2^1/3

The mid point was defo 2 1/9 because 1.2222 can be changed to 11/9. 1 2/3 can be changed to 5/3 which can be multiplied out to 15/9. Then 15/9 - 11/9 = 4/9 then you add 4/9 to 15/9 which = 19/9 which simplifies to 2 1/9

And with the R to x question you had to cancel pi then multiply r*2 by 2r to get 2r*3. You then were left with 4/3 x*3 = 1/3 2R*3. You then multiply 4/3 x*3 by 3 to get 4x*3=2R*3 then divided by 2 and cube root

So for the juice if I can remember correctly. It was a 1:7 ratio so u had to multiply the amount of juice by 7 to get the water than add them together which got me 14. Then because the cups were 1/6 you multiply 14 by 6 to get 84. Hope this helps 👍

Ik I was so confused I got 2/70 because 10/50 x 7/49 = 2/70 not 2/35 so I just doubled it hahah

Did people get 12 root 3 plus 16 for the 7 marker?

i messed up on the circle one, how did you get 16 pi i got 24 pi because i did 360-120 and used that but I didnt get the cups of juice but same for midpoint, and depreciation and simultaneous

I got all these answers and for the sphere and cone question where you had to put R in terms of X, I got the cubed root of 2 multiplied by x. I think I did okay on the bigger questions but messed up some silly ones. Like I forgot quadratic inequalities and put like -10<_x<_10
