Did anyone get 8 for the algebra question and turning point did you get (0.5,0)

you had to find y in terms of x, it would be 2x 6x^2 + (2xy) x 2 + (3xy) x 3 and sub in values for y from what you got from the first part (6x^2y = volume)
For some reason I got y=square root 960/x

turning point was (2,52) y intercept was (0,28)

Was the bounds question 89 or 90

Nah for like the differentiation question and isnt it asking for x intercept? I got (0,0.8 for that

i got 89 and a smart guy a know said 89 as well not sure if its correct but i think thats the answer

89.5

So for P I got 8
For N in the ratio I got 2.92
For the last question I got something lie 937.5
for the turning point on the graphs I got -1/3, -7/27 and -1/2 and -5/2

Is there anymore anyone wants to know?? Im not sure if these are all right

I got (-0.5, -0.25) and (-1/3, -7/27) or something like that for second coordinate

for the stationary points for that i got (-1/3,-7/27) and (-1/2, -1/4)

I thought it was 90 because the accuracy where the lower and upper bound was one SF so they both round to 90

i think you have the correct x values but subbed in y in the wrong equation

i agree

Isnt lower bound 88.5 and upper bound 90.4 so it’s 89 and 90 rounded and 89.5?

no i think bc
88.5
90
nearest 1sf is 90 for both
nearest 2sf is 89 and 90 which are not equal therefore the degree of accuracy is one sf i think

Can I say round to the nearest 10 cm^2 instead of 1 sig fig

Same but I got - 1/4 for the one next to - 1/2
